Unfortunately it's way too popular to even contemplate on a sunday unless you like chatting to the police

Lovely roads round there, one of our regular runs in the Essex meets is out that way.

lovely road all right but on a Sunday, anything but cruising will get you pulled!

Did have a very messy jump over the hump back bridge before southminster once though!!

Police safety awareness set up in Althorn village on the main road in to Bunham most weeks in the summer, but if you head out to Bradwell then head in to Bunham through Southminster you can nip in and out. The ten bends on the Burnam road are not all that to ride anyway. The road in to bradwell and the pub were the road ends is nice for lunch. Its only suitable for small group’s of three or four.

If your bikes not modified then take a ride there in the summer.

The police are barking up the wrong tree with this venue.
Bikers having breakfast with locals, families buying ice cream and looking at the bikes.
Some Essex pub venues fill up with Wan***s on nicked bikes and generally draw attention to the place. These have their licenses taken and close, only lasting one or two summers, don’t think it will be long before large meetings of bikes in Essex will be a thing of the past.
The cafe owner supervises parking so there is no congestion in the town and nearly all the bikes come in and out of town on a low pipe. In saying that there was one T***ser on a Harris had to show us his smoking exit.
I first whent to Bunham on a Fiz at 16. they will not stop me going for breck now even if I have to move there and just get me bike out the shead.

The Humpback at southminster is good on a CCM

No the bike is a 749 thats a bit tarted up!

I think Burnham cafe is one of those places that you still feel really welcomed by the locals and authorities.
Has a great vibe,but as you were saying..thats because there is a distinct lack of t****rs that go.

Used to go there with the wife,but as its a single seat now will have to have a ride up there one Sunday and say hi.(leave wifey at home baking!) Only kidding girls!!
Should get her a bike seeing as she has a full license and get her out with me
