Arrange whatever you folks can do - I can't commit as if there is a possibility of good (or in general eyes bad) weather in Scotland I'd be up there climbing.....if not, hopefully join you at Cropton, cheers, Fritz

Hi Chris
I like the sound of Cropton, any of the dates are OK. Free camping sounds good too!
Cheers

I know Chris has done a fantastic job ringing the campsite field. but i have stayed in the pub garden in the past maybe that might be available especially if we are only a small number and doing the brewery tour and drinking in the bar. next thing is i don't have there number but i'm sure Chris might take this on.....

I wondered if the 'field' maybe was the area to rear of pubs land (sort of ex-quarry) that's were we have camped previously. Don't think there are likely to be too many folk for that area as Brian mentions.

Expect thick heads folks :-0

(sure Brian knows the area - off road - but great options nearby at Wykeham etc. If Brian can't make it, and I don't, Chris I can indicate to you some routes...legal of course!)

Saturday i thought i could do a easy trail ride out around 80-100 miles fish and chip dinner at Whitby cause that's where the best fish and chips are. then if it's nice ice cream at Goathland cause it's the touristy thing to do. I'm going to do the trails in the 4x4 so everybody should manage who want's to come along. maybe sombody else want's to arrange a road trip out so there is a option for people.

Hi guys
Just looking at numbers. We aren't going to have a big crowd, either way, but from the (lack of) feedback so far we only have a very exclusive group
me
Brian
Col
Debz and Ian
Jeff

Also: Fritz and Bev (possibly)
Brad (possibly)

Would other dates suit better? Possibly March? What about 1/2Mar or 8/9Mar? How are people for either of these weekends?

Chris

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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.
