Anyone up for another camp before the years out? It's gotta be somewhere with a decent camp site and a pub or two. And of course some interesting roads otherwise what's the point! Dent is an option but I'm open to suggestions.
id be up for some days out , campsite permitting, after the end of sept I have no work (retiring he he )and not "off" to Italy till mid nov probably, so keen to explore Scotland/north as much as poss1
A minimum of two days is ok but if it's sunny I could stay to monday . As for fast riding , I'm quite happy to sit at the back enjoy the scenery and catch up at the stops. I may have a novice pilly with me and if so . I'll probably end the run covered with cobwebs lol . Although ,,,,,,,, scaring the pants off her . Does have a certain appeal . (perv) Look forward to posting my pic on the event page Dusty x
Same here re the fast stuff, I'm perfectly happy to pootle along chilling with the world. Although it does help if I'm not in the lead cos the little devil pops on my left shoulder and starts whispering "faster, faster, faster"
Big Scotland is a bit far for a weekender, I was thinking more Dales, Lakes, Northumberland or the Borders.
Anyone know Boe Rigg campsite? Unfortunately no pub around that I can see but looks well equipped and says it's £7pp.
Or the Demesne Farm in Bellingham which has the village and pubs on it's doorsteps; as a bonus it quotes a motorcyclist tariff of £8pp so it ought to be biker friendly...
Both within easy reconnoitering distance for either Dusty or Steve if you're out pootling
ok but no micky takin abut how fast i take corners, i have a new bike remember and i dont know the roads at all, so yeah i do plod along around corners, but i did get back home that sunday at just ovr 2hrs which is pretty good goin for me
might do bnb meself too if theres any available....when in crewe last year at the piggin rally....there was frost on the ground in septembet and it was freezin at night
Izzy I'll have a look up that way next time I can. No pub there but Boe Rigg's are licensed according to the web site. Actually it looks like a cools place. Another option is Demesne Farm in Bellingham (also pubs, hotels and B&B's). Weather permitting I'll have a ride out there tomorrow and check it all out.
The kiss is in 11 days time . Not sure I'll get the time off . The boss struggles to get the wknd covered . No doubt I'll bump into you all somewhere in the future . Dusty x
Hey Steve, just putting a possible Lakes venue in the Reivers Melting Pot !!
Check out Grizedale Campsite, Satterthwaite, Cumbria, camping £7 a night, open fires allowed, wood sold on site, also on site are six camping 'pods' if some folk didnae want to camp, just along the road is The Eagleshead in Satterthwaite village a former 16th century farmhouse now a pub, good meals and selection of real ales! See what you think, Cheers, Richard
