I plan on being there will probably take the 4x4 down and take a bike along for a 'easy' trail ride out.

Hi
Pleased to hear that you are going to make it Brian, can we do something along the lines of the ride that we did on the Sunday at the Allenheads meet?
And how about bringing your 640 Adv along to show me how to ride mine

Accom in Dent?
Hi peoples

Anyone ever stayed in a B&B in Dent that they would recommend?

Depending on the weather I'll either be in the van (sleep in the back etc) or on the scabby Trannie (but my small tent is in Spain... long story), so if the later comes to pass, I'd like the luxury of a B&B.

See you there,
Chris

Chris first things first the pub we are using for food (sun inn 01539625208) does b&b, however if your stuck you can squeeze in my tent, there may be a mate as well but its well big enough for three - as I will be bringing the Tipi.

I have spoken to the publican and she will get in enough supplies to feed us but states they have a lot of regulars on a friday and saturday so asks if we are eating then it would be easier if we ate as a group at 7 pm each night, food is only served till 8-30 as then it reverts to its prime purpose a house.

I will be getting to dent about 3 to 3.30 get tent up and sorted I will have tea/ coffee on the go and may even have hot soup and a roll on the go to warm you up on arrivals so see you there.
If anyone wants to meet up for the ride down I will be Leaving Warkworth about 1 ish and passing Newcastle about 1.30.

finally if anyone will be wanting breakfasts off the campsite let me know here so i can pre order rough numbers as the site is closed and the owner needs to get supplies in cheers.

I am planning arriving mid-afternoon Saturday, so please put me down for evening meal Saturday evening in the pub and breakfast on site sunday morning. MOH is still recovering from a broken collar bone so if she comes she will probably be in the car and may or may not be camping.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

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.
