See you early evening Friday. Vanessa should be arriving Saturday evening and may or may not be in time for the brewery tour, but it doesn't sound as though that will be a problem.
Paul

Well I propose to take a Trail ride out leaving the campsite at around 12:00 for a 4 or 5 hour run out. any one wanting to go to the brewery tour there will be a get out so you can get back in time.

Chris thank you for arranging the brewery tour but i won't be going along (only because I used to work in them).

Remember Dent ! - Looks like this ones going to be another very windy one - Depending on how gusty the winds get (EG tuesdays winds were unrideable up here ) then I may not make it till Saturday. However If I can get an early set off on friday before the winds get too bad then I will be there early afternoon.
Hope to see you all there safely.

And I'll be keen to join you. Whether or not I take the early get out is undecided yet.

Yep, we should be down mid Friday afternoon. Hoping winds won't be any worse than last weekend on way to Thistle Rally, that was frightening even on 3 wheels!
Brian, unfortunately, we won't be joining you for the bumpy stuff.

See you all soon

Iain (patta) & Debz

If it helps, you can get to Cropton without too much 'exposure' if you take routes avoiding A170 (or Castleton - Kirby etc obviously). Best from Southerly direction (sorry Debz Ian Jake etc!) and the place itself is pretty sheltered...certainly nothing at all compared to say Blakey or Tan Hill.
Having collected Bev's new toy from Keighley via Blubberhouses etc on Tuesday night 'twas a bit exciting but the winds - oh my gawd, Michael Fish type statement coming...aren't forecast as strong as earlier in week, in fact no weather warning issued.
Once at Cropton there are nearby off road and tourist options so all would not be lost if was howling gales.
If you can get to Thirsk should be fine for rest of way, the A170 is fine unless it's extremely windy, and then the other routes may be blocked by fallen trees - highly, highly unlikely though to be honest. Appreciate it's the journey to get to N Yorks that may be more of a concern.
Be great to see everyone again ;-)
The wind after we've been in pub on Monkman's Slaughter for a few hours however may be more dangerous :-0
If anyone has concerns PM me your Tel No. and I can advise - Bev works that way and can give an active live forecast.

Fri a.m. - Oh dear oh dear, sorry Jake etc I may have cursed you - you may curse me later. I see a weather warning for Northumbria :-0 Hope you can leave there before it arrives. Me and my mouth

Fri p.m. Double b*gger - now weather warnings for today and tomorrow for all the bloody north

Hope the weather is picking up for you folks - not bad at all in the west so good clear skies on the way:thumbup1: during the day, though you might need to retreat to the pub this evening.

Thanks for a great weekend guys. Hope Andy and Maya got their bike out of the mud and that Brad go´t his bike back:cool4:.
Cheers

Great weekend really enjoyed seeing you all, neil and all present -sorry about the tantrum on sunday afternoon - sure you understand but i have calmed down now. Neil it will be ten pints of two pints next time I see you. All the best Jake.

Had a great weekend, so thanks to Chris and others who helped organize it and all who turned up. Really enjoyed the rideout on Saturday. Hope you all got home OK and Andy/Maya got their outfit back from the mud.

What a great weekend! Hope the sidecar recovery was successful and that everyone is home safely. Thanks to Chris for organising the do. Hope to see you all again.
