Ok just spotted this, so 1st things 1st Sorry missed the build up!
If folk would like help (volunteers) my poor old friends will turn In their graves "never volunteer for anything"
I've kinda been riding the roads of the north east for the last 35 years and couple of hundred thousand miles, so if you'd like Advice on suitable novice friendly routes and/or company Or shepherding novices to start/ Finnish points I'll help
Wow.. Another Wow...
I disappear off for less than a week and come back to much much much lushness..
Thank you lovelies!! ~ Got way way way more than the six which is just beyond perfect... You all kinda rock.. you know that??

Those travelling longer distances.. are more than welcome to stay at mine if you don't mind sleeping in a "packing box" warzone and fighting for one of only three knives in the house... Oh and waking up with white cat fur tickling your chin... But my cooking more than make up for it... Ask DaveN
Laffo... getting in touch with them this afternoon... Thank you for that lovely!!
Free Camping.. Whooooo Hooooo!! Laffo.. You're a Star lovely!
Just spoke to Isabel the Manageress at the Weardale Inn.. she is more than happy to offer free camping if we eat and drink there... However.. there are no meals available till twelve unless we come in droves... But it's something to be getting on with and it's a foot in the door like... Have said that will pop over in the next couple of weeks to take a wee looksee... I will gladly eat a pudding or two for the cause
Hi rockchickeelicious, If I'm about when you do it, I'll help, I passed my IAM test 12 years ago and like to think I'm an experianced rider. Good teacher as well, so I have been told.
I'm away surfing in Cornwall at the begining of Aug though, and going away with work near the end (I think, waiting on customers)
BUT I WILL TRY IF I CAN............ that me being assertive ;)
TWELVE Volunteers!! Whoooooooooo Hooooooo!!!

I spent three hours searching profiles the other night.. three hours and I only found eight women.. I started on the men and it came up with pages and pages and I couldve wept I was so tired...
Soooooo am getting a little help with this and hopefully we will have our Learner Pool sorted really soon...
As for the Weardale Inn.. thought it might be nice if there were a few people who could turn up with me and check it out... Not cos Im shy lol or I need someone to slap my hand away from the desserts menu.. I just think it would look good if a few turned up...
What do you's think...
Yay!! Lush Stuff!! Don't worry Centurion.. I have a SatNav now.. We'll find it and no Lady Gaga on your bike Will look at some dates but could possibly be after the MAG Protest Ride... ~ Have to get to work now.. but will come back to this...
The BM Calender seems quiet Weekend of the 30th June...
Soooooooooo.. how's about arranging to meet there on Saturday 30th.. have a cuppa.. check it out and have a rideout somewhere afterwards...
Could make something really rather lush out of this scouting mission.. bit of fun for a few folk on a bit of a dead weekend...
Lush Stuff!! I LOVE how BM keeps your mind occupied!!
Soooo.. they don't open till twelve... Can we get a decent ride out if we meet for then.. leave at 12.30/1pm??
Should be OK, just gotta try to remember, memory is rubbish at best of times. AA says 2.5hrs from S'boro to the pub for me, will have to PM me mobly to those that are going coz I'll either get lost or me bike will run out of electricity. I gaurentee other than the fact I cannot spell gaurentee that one of those two things will happen................ All good fun though.
You can spell it.. kinda... you're just spelling like Lloyd Grossman talks
