sorry Fluffy....tablet managed to not paste all the blooming message I had typed! I just copied the directions for Leeds to Northenden off the google directions map search.....probably makes no sense. Did it in a bit of a rush.
Wasn't sure how much you needed or didn't need.
RB
if your no good at directions fluffy i can meet you somewhere then take you to the services on m56 if your coming from bradford down the m62 to junction 18 then m60 to oldham then just carry on to junction 23 theres a mcdonalds there i could meet you there about 9ish if you like
Just a couple of questions.....
Firstly, is there anyone wanting a Lymm meeting point. Can you let me know asap as if not I will change the Northenden meet up to 9.00 am to leave at 9.15/9.20 am.
Secondly. Can you let me know which meet up point you are going to be at, especially if its the Northenden one, as then I know who I'm looking out for and we don't set off without you.
Thirdly. If you haven't posted your piccie, could you, it just means if I have to email/pm I can do it via the events page which is easier and quicker (please include your piccie if you are a pillion as well).
Sorry to keep asking but it will make it easier

bump up
Just to let those meeting at Northenden, or intending to....as no-one confirmed they wanted/needed a Lymm meeting point, the Northenden meet will be 9.00 am aiming to leave at 9.15/9.20 am.
Thanks (a bit longer in bed) and see you all.
And don't forget as this isn't an official BM thing, you can bring your mates along as well should they wish to come along. The more the merrier.

Hi folks,
I'm up for this one, North Wales is an amazing, beautiful place.
(As long as it ain't tipping down)
Route looks varied and interesting.
Spare seat on my Bandit if any young lady fancies a day out.

Just a reminder - note the change of the Northenden meet up time.
Could I ask if you are going and you haven't posted your piccie on the events page, to do so as it makes it easier if I have to do a global email and I don't miss anyone out.
9.00 am - The Northenden Bus Layby (come off the motorway at Northenden (M56 Junction 3a) and go across the junction as if heading back onto the motorway. leaving at 9.15/9.20.
10.00 am meet up at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chester</st1:place></st1:City> services M56 J14 and A5117 (North of Helsby) access from both motorway and 'A' roads.
Just posting the route again for anyone who is just looking and/or new to the site.
Essentially its a day to meet up, meet friends, make friends and basically have a good enjoyable day out....<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Remember the route is flexible and everyone is welcome and engine size, experience etc will be taken into account and worked round. Don't think you can't come along because you have a 125, no experience, minimum experience or anything like that (I'm still a newbie as I'll will only have been riding just over a year and its only my second "big" ride).
10.00 am meet up at <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chester</st1:place></st1:City> services M56 J14 and A5117 (North of Helsby) access from both motorway and 'A' roads<o:p></o:p>
A55 - A494 to Ruthin<o:p></o:p>
A525 - A542 to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Horseshoe</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Pass</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> (Ponderosa)<o:p></o:p>
A542 Llangollen<o:p></o:p>
A5 to Corwen<o:p></o:p>
(Detour if you fancy it A494 to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Bala</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Lake</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>)<o:p></o:p>
A494 back towards Corwin, turn West onto A5
join A470 to Betws-y-Coed – Llanrwst<o:p></o:p>
***Suggest you check your fuel at Betws-y-Coed if you haven't already done so, don't run out on Denbigh Moors***<o:p></o:p>
take A 548 - A544 (South - East) Llansannan<o:p></o:p>
A543 Denbigh (East)<o:p></o:p>
The A548 - A544 - A543 can be a bit challenging for the novice but great experience, just be careful. There's plenty of opportunity to get some food beforehand so blood sugar and concentration levels should be well up.A525 back to Ruthin<o:p></o:p>
A494 to Mold - Queens-ferry and home.<o:p></o:p>
Depending on what time we set off and how hungry you are there are various eating places and watering holes along the way:<o:p></o:p>
The Castle Cafe at Ruthin near the river, favourite haunt of bikers and cyclists - limited space, gets real busy, good food, inexpensive, toilets.<o:p></o:p>
Ponderosa, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Horseshoe</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Pass</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> - big enough to accommodate just about anyone, usual facilities and friendly sheep<o:p></o:p>
Bala Lake - various places but can be on the expensive side and a bit touristy!<o:p></o:p>
Betws-y-Coed - as above
Look forward to meeting you DD.
eek just noticed my spacing went a bit squiffy.....rather like me
