Hi Folks I have a prior arrangement for the Saturday evening but I would be up for arrivng on the Friday afternoon and going back on the Saturday afternoon.
As I recall there are two camp sites in dent, a bigun and a littleun. I assume you mean the little site on a hill? (that is where I buried my back wheel up to axle trying to get up the hill before the last wild camp, mercifully I was rescued by Ted Magnum and Steve but I had a red face)

Hi Paul
your more than welcome. Any make of Bike ,we don't do Clique ,just riding and having fun.
hope to see you then.
I will be on my XR400R for this one 
Update....Breakfast will be available each morning at 8.30 from the farm house.
We have 2 off road routes planned.
One I will lead which will be a mix of Back roads .{ tarmac } with a relatively easy off road ride.
Basil will be leading a ride for those that want to ride the harder off road route..Please note not suitable for Novice off roaders.
Craig will lead a B road ride, sticking to tarmac and taking in some cracking route's around the Dales.
the off road rides will leave on saturday at 9.15 ish and. the road ride 10am
All 3 group's will be heading for Masham for lunch.
on my route and craigs road ride there will be a chance for fuel about 15 miles from the campsite.
Basil's route will be about 30 miles before you reach a filling station.
Please bear this in mind.
The ride out's will have a tail end rider so don't worry no one will get lost or left behind.
Steve D is putting up a Marque for us to use once the pub is closed .....!!!!!!.......
we will have a few BBQ's going if you would like to bring anything to chuck on it.
{sad to have to say this...but anyone attending, or riding around with us does so at their own risk.}
stay safe and have fun

Hi Dazzer
I'll be a tailender if you want. Either on Basil's "hard (on... Probably not, as Dave won't be there )" ride on the DRZ or the road ride on the AT.
Talk on the phone soon,
cheers

Hey,
I think we will join your little party, as we got back into the country yesterday, after our Africa jaunt.
We can only make the Fri, as we already have plans made for us on the Sat, but should be good.
One question though; does the campsite have access suitable for a Blackbird? Or is it strictly an off roader entrance?
Birdy
PS, Jake, hope to see you there. I read your email this morning (if you remember sending it - it was some time ago) Thanks for the good wishes - they saw us there and back, safe and sound!

The site has a gravel track but as you would expect, its a grass campsite.. If you're careful and slow im sure you could get a street bike in. I hope so anyway, because my friend has an SV.

You'd have to take it easy, and maybe choose a pitch near the entrance. I was there a couple of weeks back, these might give you a better idea:
