No Idea....After Breakfast and Chat??? Send me a text with your ETM on the day and we'll see. Looks like there might be a road group and a dirt group.

Just had a long conversation with David Brookes from Northumberland CC this morning...The map works, but has to be accessed through the actual webpage. Try

www.northumberland.gov.uk

scroll to the bottom to 'usefull quick links' and find 'Public rights of Way' in the right hand column.

This is supposed to be the definitive map of the council. Have a look and see what you think.

Fritz,

I had a brief look at the map and am rather disappointed about the amount of BOATs in Northumberland....But there are some not far from Allenheads that look promising - around and in Slayley Forrest.

The field is the one indicated by the farmer half a mile away. Pretty sure it's right. I should be there by 4PM on Friday and will confirm it, again...before I pitch my tent.

If you guys arrive early, Just double check with Ann and Phil at the pub as to which field exactly is the 'Triangle Field'.

It's frequently used for camping. Just hope it's big enough for this huge turnout!! 26 registered participants!

Jens

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
