Oh yes
Bev and I should be along too. Happy to lead some off roading (easy) if folk want, over to Whitby for Fish & Chips or Ice Cream depending on weather - know some good long and easy trails over that way. Brilliant location :-)
Please note - those that need beauty sleep - British Summer Time begins on that Sunday :-0

hi to those bikers I met in Flaine and w/e 24/25
To Murray, Aiden and John whom I met in Flaine last week - thanks for the company skiiing. Its a pity that you couldnt stay until the Friday - Blue sky and new snow - like skiing on velvet! If you can come down from Scotland sometime - join us on one of these w/es
Sue
Re w/e 24/25 - there is a very good pub - the Wheatsheaf at Egton, owned and run by friends who are more than willing to see a group of bikers for sandwiches etc - Elaine makes the best BLT ever! So, if you want to go at some point over the w/e just let me know and I shall forewarn her.
Peter and I shall no doubt be able to make it although I have to be at a study day in Bury, Manchester on Sunday pm
Sue
PS Still can't get my photos small enough for the website - help needed. Tried to email them to myself as someone suggested but they are still too big

I am afraid it is fairly certain that I will not be able to make this weekend now due to circumstances beyond my control. If things change I will be there but I would be grateful if someone else talks to the publican on arrival and thanks him on our behalf or whatever on leaving - as I would like to keep this venue very much on our side for future meets etc. Hope you all have a good weekend. Sorry Debz cant meet up so it looks like your riding down on your own. Jake.

Should be seting off tomorow as i have to do some training in Heysham Lancashire to do & will be riding over from there Friday . As i wont have internet access im going to PM some of you my mobile number hope this is ok with you. The reason for this is the severe weather warnings snow ect .
If some one could let us know if the meet gets cancelled i would be grateful as i dont want to ride over if no one is going to be there . Will take a slow ride over friday about 11am proably across the dales any suggestions for good routes or places worth seeing ?
Thanks Kev

Kev there is areally nice back road from kettlewell (north of skipton)through the coverdale valley- via melmerby this eventualy brings you out at leyburn, ,bedale, northalerton ,thirsk a170 to kirbymoorside then 3 mile further on turn left up through hutton le hole towards castleton pub on left. If I was you i would phone pub before travelling as its very very prone to deep snow being the highest pub on the moor. Jake.
