A great response so far folks. 13 registered already I'm sure there are still members who have seen the announcement and would love to experience their first 43tv Meet. Come on and take that step. No one has ever regretted attending a Meet. I'm just putting the finishing touches to the itinerary and should have it posted up soon. Only 23 weeks to go now Gene.

Since the first meet I ever attended, I have never missed a single meet. They are fantastic days/weekends! Steed

IT IS A VERY EASY WALK TO COMPLETE AND ENDS WHERE WE START. We will head off on foot to Hammersmith Underground Station. From here we'll get the Circle Line train to LATIMER ROAD STATION which is just a short 5 minute journey by tube. If anyone does NOT want to travel via tube, it is a 15 minute drive to LATIMER ROAD STATION which is in BRAMLEY ROAD W10. IF YOU ARE DRIVING THERE YOU WILL NEED TO RESEARCH PARKING YOURSELF IN THAT AREA. WE AIM TO START OFF FROM LATIMER ROAD STATION AT 11am SHARP! We leave Latimer Road Station and walk to the following locations: - The Sweeney (Nightmare) - Farrel & Flynn's Used Furniture Shop

From Here we will take the 2 minute walk back to Latimer Road Station in Bramley Road W10. This should be around 5pm. We will get the Hammersmith & City or Circle Line train back to Hammersmith.
Once back in Hammersmith, we will walk to a yet to be decided pub nearby for a meal and a few drinks (Possibly The Brook Green Hotel or similar). People are free to do as they wish from this point onwards. Right. That's about it. A mammoth 31 locations all within walking distance in a marvellous part of London that was used so much for filming back in the golden era. Some of the scenes have changed beyond recognition, some are still the same today. I'll be happy to point out "exact spots" during the tour. It'll really give you a great insight to how some of this area changed around the time of filming or just after.
Any questions about any aspect of the itinerary then please feel free to ask.
I hope everyone likes the look of the plan and are looking forward to it more than ever now!
Here is a small sample of what we'll be seeing (Click to enlarge)
Gene.

Mustard line up guv. Makes a change to do one without driving and it means we get to see 31 location. Cool.
I feel a Boris Bike might be needed again😂

Yess!!! Superb Gene, really looking forward to this. Pleased to see some Sweeney locations but the Robbery chase locations will be good to see too. Also gives me an excuse to get the Steptoe films and watch them. I am not overly familiar with Minder but who doesn't know The Winchester? Should be another top 4:3 meet, it's certainly got all the right ingredients

Well done again Gene with a top itinerary! Yes looking forward to this, I'm sure it will be as good as ever, some ace locations and I'll probably see some parts of London I haven't seen before too!
