e-Doleham-Fairlight-Westfield-Battle-Catsfield-Bodle St and back to
Hailsham.

Yup, I've sent off my entry form. I'll be wearing the Canterbury CC
jersey (red, black and gold horizontal bands) - might also be bringing
along a couple of clubmates.

I'll have a look at the Mad Jack's route against the map later - see if
I fancy it for next year... 😉
(I'm also thinking of doing the Battle and Back grimpeur but I have a
feeling that might clash with another ride I want to do, which is
annoying.)

Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then chain to the
floor and walk up and down on it in high heels. (Mr. Sunshine)

Indeed it is. The Woman Formerly Known As Mrs Larrington now lives in
Brixton, so it's quite handy really. Last there (I think) for Black Rebel
Motorcycle Club about a year ago.

I heard the sample track on the Mars Volta website, a bit "guitar based
rock" for me, give me Fad Gadget anyday (or not, he died 3 yrs ago).

BTW if anyone is pondering the relevance of the name, Mr Fuller was not
at all mad, but an astute ironstone mining entrepreneur and general
benefactor/exploiter of the unwashed of East Sussex/Kent in the
??17th-18th C. It is said that he bet one his neighbours that he could
see a church spire from his window, and to win the bet had his minions
construct a fake spire on top of a hill in Brightling (still there, and
on the route IIRC)
