Just in case you forgot, the Redbridge Cycle centre's address is:
Redbridge Cycling CentreForest Road, Hainault, Ilford, IG6 3HP
Public transport

| The bit of the central line you're looking for. Stratford has been left in for reference |
- Planned Underground works aren't happening on the nearest tube lines to the centre, so yay for that.
- Your best bet is NOT walking from Fairlop station (map route here, cheers google), it's actually from Hainault station, with a bus connection (assuming you're coming from central london, if not see 4)
- If you're already using an oyster card for your travel, the bus is a good option. If not it's still a good option. Google will help you plan a journey and the TFL Buses website will let you know how much it'll be, and if it's on time
- If you're coming in from Southend or Essex in general, consider that there's buses from Romford station that will get you to the centre.
Driving
Driving to the centre is pretty simple, there's plenty of parking (but it's a good idea to keep valuables hidden or with you). Now google also has a relatively accurate traffic info system (see here) which will also work in google maps on your phones.
Remember! If you have an old van/camper (pre year 2002 reg I think), in which case you'll want to look at Low Emission Zone homepage and the map is HERE! The low emission zone has to be skirted around to avoid being fined. Luckily, the centre is on the edge of the zone, and with a bit of planning you can easily avoid any potential fines.
Lifts to/from the campsite
I'm afraid we don't provide these, so you'll have to work them out yourselves; normally someone will be willing to give you a lift, but try to arrange it before the end of skating, as the centre has to close promptly at the end of the day.

The guys at Lambourne end have been very kind to let us come back once again after some unfortunate incidents at Hogtoberfest. I'm looking forward to it because it's always a good atmosphere, but this time especially we've got to be well behaved so we can continue to use this awesome, close venue for our camping. If you're told anythign about site access, or told to do/not do stuff by lambourne end staff, spread the message, and do as they say, so we all stay cushty :)
Additionally we are NOT allowed to use any of Lambourne End's wood to make the traditional campfire. If you want to have the fire, we recommend you bring some dry, clean wood (ie unpainted,untreated) with you to cook your marshmallows over/melt your camembert cheese under, and it shouldn't get to "bonfire" stage. We've got to keep the site tidy, and remember to do your washing up before you leave Sunday morning, as we have to be all out of the site because of a sponsored dog walk using the field, and none of you want dog poop over your tents.
Looking forward to seeing you all again, get hyped!

Campsite update:
ReplyDeleteWe have secured a small amount of wood (Lleylandii or summat) for use on Saturday night that will be made available by Lambourne End. They have requested that if we need more then we bring our own and do not, on any account, go foraging. Please take away anything that you bring to the site so as to leave it clean. Thanks!
