70s concrete hustlers

[ED209]

Had to take a 12hr road trip with Jol 'The Crow' from Suffolk to Bath to deliver boxes.

We took our bikes ... just in case ... tried Bury St. Edmunds park ... P.O.S. ( apologies to Dannywhac )

Took a detour to avoid the M25 and went past Stevenage ... Jol thought there was a park there but I thought it had been wiped years ago ... wacked in the road to SatNav and arrived to catch a glimpse of 'that colour concrete' which could only mean a 70s park ... I got very excited ( which included driving out the 'in' road of the swimming pool with mothers waving fists at me ) ... and we had a half hour of the park to ourselves and 'being 16' again.

The sun shone.

Hopefully hooking up with Pickle and going back tomorrow 

Went to Yate as well to see what that was like ... never mind! take me back to the 70s!

I did mention we're getting a concrete park 

Stevenages coolio Ed, there's not many of them old crete ones left, or at least left that are any good

Danny ... we decided that if you can ride that park then you must be very RAD indeed at it is shocking 

Wish Knebworth was still there

   i nearly wore one of my Mission T's as well 

What a superb day!  took the day off at the last minute and grabbed the train up to Stevenage (15 mins from my house) I lived in Bowes from about 82 through to 84 (and Knebworth R.I.P) and had the park to ourselves all morning..........it was superb!  great to see Ed and Jol and have a blast round the place 

I then went on a BMX ride around all my old childhood haunts, a proper trip down memory lane...........riding round where i grew up was just like being 12/13 again.

A superb day!  i was buzzing all evening

Cool pics  nice to see that park again, I don't think I've been there for nearly 20 years! I might be getting muddled up here but does it still flood out easily, I'm sure it used to be under water most of the time?

I think you're mixing it up with Harrow maybe
