Autumn Camping in Yorkshire
 

We are having a Camping get togeather in Dent in the Yorkshire Dales.

It will be over the weekend of the 6th 7th 8th November {bonfire weekend }

Steve D is going to put his Marque up so if the weather is not to good ,we can all get togeather in there.

The site is a 2 minute walk to the Pub .

The cost is £4 each per night.

they have shower's and WC's.

They also do a fantastic Full English Breakfast in the Farm Kitchen for £4

If anyone would like to try a few Green lane's we can do a run out on the Saturday.

all are :welcome:

Sounding good - assume the hurricane force winds are booked too :stormy:

I land back on the 7th... Jetlagged run down for the 8th?!

Sounds good though, have fun!

Is this a bad dream or am i hallucinating - Dent ! ye gads, dont think i have recovered from the last Dent do - still if I have to face the nightmare maybe this is the time to face it - I must be a sadist to go again but should be there.

Hiya

Prior arrangement for the Friday but will be down on the Saturday. We can bring dry clothes and new tents for anyone caught out by the bad weather that is sure to accompany the weekend!! :innocent:

Looking forward to it.

Iain + Debz

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)

Stayed in that site last time with Steve !!

Great site, great town, great pub, great people ! Need I go on !!

If im not working, ill be there...

The one I tried to put together in Wales has kind of fallen through due to so many commitments, weddings and work so I'll be glad to get together before Christmas !


Will be fun digging people out of the soft ground around that wall again LOL !

:thumbup1:

I've got a prior appointment on the Saturday but might get chance to call down sometime over the few days.

I'd like to come to this

Well thats it really, just expressing interest LOL

cheers

John

It's really?I never heard it before!http://www.snagpic.com/users/img/412...vnsn/clear.gif

Yep - camping
Yep - pub
Yep - full english (all days)
Yep - Greenlaning.

Do we have to book the campsite?

Debz (and Iain) - We met at the HUMM. I tried to get in touch with you through this forum, but I couldn't think of things to say for 8 posts! It will be good to meet up with you again- (probably in damper weather!)

Ps. Our certificates arrived last week - framed and hung over the fireplace now!

I have no prior engagements (no mates?), so will be there.
cheers
Chris in sunny South Africa.

PS. Don't let any of those 4x4 types tell you a car is better than a bike for adventure travel. Having just driven a Landcruiser for 9000km I can unequivocally confirm how much more fun a bike is.

You Have plenty of Mate's In Yorkshire Chris :smartass:

Now it's your round when you get back :eek3:

We have some recent re-opened Green lane's were waiting to ride.

See you soon

Dazzer

I'll be bringing the DRZ then :scooter:

Ey-up Dazzer

I'm up for this one would be nice to catch up with guys again! I think sidey will prob want to come also I'll ask him later. How did you get on in the Kneesup?

Phil

can't wait ,will get some tck 80s on t 800 and see if it stays right side up:scooter::funmeteryes::stormy::stormy::stormy::h elpsmilie::helpsmilie::mchappy::eek3:

Sidey is up for this so thats two of us :scooter:

Add me to the attendees Darren, cheers :biggrin3:

Glad you can make this one.
I have just had a few day's camping In Dent,and OK'ed it with the site for these date's.

I will plan to have 2 ride leaders for the off roading,One will lead a easy off road ride and one a bit harder, and the two group's will meet up at the same place for lunch.

Anyone wanting to just ride on the B road's and wanting to meet at the lunce stop,I will sort out a map for that.
:thumbup1:

Dazzer

Hi Dazzer,

Yep - camping
Yep - pub
Yep - full english (all days)
Yep - Greenlaning.

Should be there on the 6th. with my TT250R


Alec

p.s.
:stormy:?????????????

I'd really like to come along (assuming I'm not on call).

I won't be green-laning though so also happy to go on or help organise a tarmac-based ride out.

Is this a turn up and pay event or will we need to prebook?

last time I was there (summer), you just turn up and pay before you leave. It's pretty laid back and trusting.

There should be loads of room in November :)

If there is a road ride-out organised, then I would look to stop over one of those nights and join in.

It'll be pretty cold at that time of year :)

Maxander

Dazzer - this is causing a real dilema.

Do I do the Dent weekend (SteveD) in October ?

The Dent Weekend in November ??

or the Tibbie Shiles meet in November ??


I've got one more weekend pass fo rthis year, I need to choose it wisely!

Just to add, there are few more BOATs in the Lakes now too, just waiting for the deffinative map to be updated.....:innocent:

Daz it's Decision's Dicision's :innocent:..

All I can say is That The November meet have already booked the weather :Beach:


Hope you can make it .

Would be nice to get up to the lake's this winter for some trail riding.Please pm me whan you next out.

Thanks Dazzer

Hi

Yes there will be a road ride to meet up with the off road ride for lunch.

Bring a good sleeping bag and you will be fine...

Dazzer

As a complete novice i would like to meet with you all if you feel you can put up with an old fart.

Of course they can, they accept Basil at the meetings :rolleyes2:

:stupid: Basil and Dazzer.....never apart :helpsmilie:

come on Dave...get your self up to Yorkshire for the crack :mchappy:

Ymca
 

Dazzer might also allow Village People biker types:cool4:

Camping Dent
 

?c? Will they allow Lancastrians into Yorkshie yet.
If so I,d like to join you all

You will need a flat cap certified crash helmet, a visa from the betting shop, and a guide to keep a eye on you to make sure you don't chat up T'women, tha knows :)

Maxander

Highly tempted! Will keep the calendar free and hope to make it :thumbup1:

Hi Dazza, sounds gr8 to me count me in, I will be in the states knocking about just b4 this but I get back to blighty on the 30th oct so the dates perfect.

Will we be de-foresting the area like the last time cos I will try and get hold of a chain saw to cut down on work. He He . Apparently the space shuttle was able to see the last bon fire from orbit.

Post me the location please and I will be down, cheers Clive.

can't make it
 

Hi Dazza I have to pull out of this due to ill health and unforeseeen circumstances.

Get well soon,and hope you are back on the road for the next one.

Stay safe

Dazzer

camping
 

hi guys,
there are a few of us up in the area the same weekend for a bit of wild camping, Normally just do the HU weekend at lumb farm.
would you have any objections if we joined you for a night? about 4 or 5 of us. well travelled and enjoy a beer.
thought i would ask incase its a closed knit meet.
regards
paul

:clap:

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 :mchappy:

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

Dazzer

Sounds like a good weekend, most of my group will be on xr650s set up for overland. i myself will be on a f800gs, just about to put a new set of karoos on so may take the shine off it and try the offroad. i will see how my head feels in the morning.
looking forward to it
paul

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

Talk on the phone soon,
cheers
Chris

hi ted just looked at your site i have just got back from 3 months in eastern europe ,may have info for you ,zebb, wirral

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup1:

Look forward to catching up..

Are you going to this meeting ??

the xt forum have a camping wk.end at the same time in dent,i don,t suppose its at the same venue.?

Just realised ,yes it is.
Yippee!

Bugger, not only has my mate wrecked his life by getting married he has wrecked my weekend by doing it on the very weekend of your event :(
wonder if he will get married another time :mchappy:

Hi Darren

Looking forward to this.

What time you setting off from Keighley.

Simon

:confused1: I will be arriving late (hopefully not too wet) on Friday night - which camp-site is it? (Or name of pub?!)

Debs

Hi Deb's

It's the small camp site,I will post a sit map this week.

Hi Simon.
I'm leaving McDs in Keighley at 10am,taking the back roads up,so should be there for mid day,to allow time to get the marque up.

Glad you can make it

Dazzer

Sounds good to me, I also need to nip to Altberg. so two brids one stone.

I have posted this map,which shows the location of the campsite we are useing,and the two main routes used to get to Dent.

see you soon
Dazzer

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...tw/dentmap.jpg

Ta for the map Dazzer,
I have stayed at that site before, back in 1965 ! bet it han't changed much, but they might serve me in the Sun inn this visit :smile3:

Britch don't bet on being served and don't whatever you do - ask for a cup of tea ! last time we had a mini HU meet up there at the Sun inn it was not very hospitable at all, but as both the pubs are owned (so I believe) by the same bloke maybe the other one is as bad.
By the way Dazzer I am hoping to get along as I said in a previous post but may have to pull out due to other family stuff going on at the moment. It might be good to warn people that the Conder farm campsite has very few level pitches so if you arrive late you will be on a slope and the bottem edge of the field that is level near the entrance is prone to water logging if it rains heavy. I am not trying to put a damper on it just if your pre warned then you can be better prepared for the site. Hopefully see you there but its a pretty big maybe at the moment.
If I dont get there have a great time - the guy at Conder farm is a gem mind - so that makes up for the publican some way.

My money is on Global warming. look at how it is Mid october :Beach:.

Newbie here to, road is good for me (for now:mchappy:).

Looking forward to this. sounds like a good crack.

[QUOTE=adventure950;260115] so if you arrive late you will be on a slope and the bottem edge of the field that is level near the entrance is prone to water logging if it rains heavy.

I will be arriving late, but I have a teensy weeny little tent, please can you save me a little bit of level ground!!

Debs

Any reason to stay here and not the other site in dent which is mostly flat?

I've camped there with the guzzi club so know they're ok with bikers.

Think that weekend is the beginning of a week off work so hoping the weather will be kind - but I must remember to buy a new tent as mine broke on a recent trip in europe!

Your free to camp where you please,or book into any of the B and B's.

a little navigation helping hand N54.27604 W2.45211
Have a good time!

We were in there Friday & Saturday night and they were fine - mind you the place was full of the Cossack Owners Club, and the strange hats! (they had even stanger bikes :()

Anyway, don't worry about the pub, it's the guy from the farm who works there so all's well. The price of beer is a bit steep though, I'm a tight northerner though :stormy: and found £2.70 a bit on the high side...

Just don't ask to put any coal on the fire, the woman (and I'm not about to call her a maid!) bar person all but called us a bunch of whimps when we asked about another lump or two of coal - just to stop it going out!!

On Saturday Night it did get quite frosty, there's hardly any light polution and the stars are awesum.

:scooter:

So last up date .

I was at the camp site on Saturday .

Breakfast will be from 8.30 till 10am

if you intend to go on one of the two trail rides please try to get your breakfast early

The riders going on the B Road ride have plenty of time to get breakfast after the trail ride out's leave the site

Basil's Harder trail ride will be meeting up just out side the camp site and leaving at 9am.Please note this ride out will be for riders with good off road experience only.

Dazzer's Trail ride which does not include the harder Climbs Basil's ride is taking in. will take in a mix of B road's and trails at a steady pace.

This ride will meet up just inside the camp site and leave at 9.15am

Carig's B road ride out will be leaving the camp site at 10am and will take in some of the best B road's in this part of the Dale's

All 3 groups will meet up for Lunch in Masham.

Anyone wanting to change groups can do so here.

all the ride out's have a back rider so no one will get lost or left behind.

PS.... Basil say's the first round is on him http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/friday.gif http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/eekers.gif

here is part of the route on Basils ride out.

Dazzer


YouTube - Red Lane Trail 09

does basils rideout include water crossings?? :thumbup1:

Not exactly a welcome response. I don't need or usually like to stay in B&Bs but more to the point the idea of camping together is to get to know others.
I was merely asking why stay in a site prone to flooding if another is available.

It was not ment to sound un-welcomeing :oops2:

It's a laid back meeting so if people want to saty else where and just turn up for the ride out's that's fine.:mchappy:


We are useing this site,because the site is closed and only open for our meeting.

It's ease to get breakfast made here,and it's very laid back .so no problem with having a few beer's late at night...unlike the other site :thumbup1:

Dazzer

ride-outs
 

Sorry if i've missed this guys, but is there a ride-out happening on sunday?

Working fri/sat, but if theres anything going on sunday i'd love to pop by.

I'll be heading north on Sunday, take in in a couple of trails through Kirby Stephen, Brough and Penrith areas if you fancy it ??

Maybe even head west after Penrith and take a trip down the Old Coach road ??

Sounds good, let us know what time ur thinkin of going.

Old coach road's a bit of a mess at the mo, bloody 4 wheelers have made a bog of a section half way through. Also one of the ''puddles'' submerged the missus drz's exhaust!

I'll be on a 650 trannie so be gentle...:rolleyes2:

later!

I reported that to the Highways, TRF and Countryside rangers on 26th June, also reported how the original culprit had destroyed a footpath sign to use as a slider. Not sure why these people find it neccassary to continue when it's clearly doing alot of damage.......

Even took a picture :

http://www.smokingtailpipes.com/Gall...nTheRoad01.JPG

I'll be heading north on the Sunday, about 10ish going over the coal road, then picking up the byway that runs alongside the B6259 - not sure after that, loads to choose from though.

That's now about a metre deep and churned up peat the whole width-and-a-bit of the path. Not pretty.

As for the route, as long as my trannie will handle it, I'm game!

See you then.

Any vids of the hard stuff Daz ? I'll be bringing up the DRZ (if I get the brake parts in time)..

I havn't done any trail riding since January in Spain and that was all dry but pretty technical..

I'm going to bring up a couple of mates on road bikes if thats ok. Nice guys !!

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:

Still room for a couple of newbies?
 

Hi Darren et al

Been a bit slow getting on here but Kim and I are planning to join you in Dent next weeked if theres still room?

Matt

PS. should be sporting those panniers we had off you as long as all goes well with the frames at the welders tomorrow!

That's Excellent.
Hope to see you both then .

Darren

Successful day at the welders, so will definately be test driving those panniers, we've got a fitting at altberg at 11.30 so should be at the campsite early afternoon :thumbup1:

Matt

Autum Camping
 

Hi Dazzer count me in be their late friday would like to go on tarmac and track riding on saturday went to denby meet look forward to meeting more travilers Mick D:thumbup1::D

Snap (almost), fitting at 2:00, will probably arrive a little early, so may bump into you. hopefully make it to the site just before dark :scooter:.

Steve D just rang me and asked me to inform everyone that the cobbles in the centre of the Village are very slippy ...so Take it easy on them,we don't want anyone to Bin it before they get to the camp site http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/eekers.gif


Due to Steve's slight change of plan's .we will now be meeting at McDonald's in Keighley at 10.45 and leaving at 11am on friday. Then onto Hawes for Dinner and that should have us at the camp site by 2,30ish.

Not been too well recently (gallstones) and haven't had the chance to buy a new tent so for both reasons I won't be able to make it.
Hope you all have a great (& fairly dry) weekend :)

Hi Dazzer

Sorry if you've already posted this (had a quick squiz through and couldn't see it) - do you have any idea what time you'll be in Masham for lunch on Saturday? Don't think we'll make it down for the start of the ride out so would like to meet up and join for the afternoon ride. We'll be on the outfit again so should be (hopefully) no probs on your ride out - let us know if you think there'll be anything we can't handle. Cheers.

See you Saturday.

Iain & Debz

Hi Iain and Debz


If you can make Masham for 1pm,we should be there between 1 and 2pm

You will be OK on the route/ trail's back to the camp site.

see you soon

Dazzer

I'm working in t morning, so should set off about 2 and be in Dent for 3 to 3:30 ish so should be able to help with the marque

hope it dries out a bit tonight!

Hi - Just confirming that I will be there at some point this weekend!

I have a caravan near Lancaster, so depending on how late and/or frozzen I am riding up the M6 on my Serow, I will either stop there on Friday night and meet up with you Saturday morning, or be a good little trooper and make it all the way to Dent.

Either way - I'm looking forward to it!

Debs

Fractured my wrist playing football last night..... :censored:

Enjoy the weekend guys and see you all at the next one.


Ted (very pissed off)....

Thats bad timing Ted, sorry we won't see you, get well soon

Hope it goes well
 

No way could i make this one :( work saturday /wedding sat night just not ment to be
Have a good time hope to see plenty of pictures hope to make the next one :scooter:

Hi guys
Sorry to have missed this weekend but Iain hurt his ribs on Friday night and wasn't any better on Saturday morning so had to be sensible and sit this one out.
Hope you all had a great weekend and I'll look forward to the pics and see you at the next one.

Debz

Thanks for a top night last night . i was trying to get up friday so i could join the ride out but work and all that. first time i have met most of you but as always with a hu meet, everyone was very friendly. nursing a bad head this morning and the ride home was hard, looking forward to the next one. if not i will see you at Ripley next year.

cheers again:thumbup1:

Back home, and bike washed and tent drying in garage , what a fantastic weekend :-)

Big up :thumbup1: for Dazza for organising this, and putting so much effort in to ensure everyone was looked after and got the choice of ride outs they wanted on Saturday.
Also for Baz and Craig for leading rides and Steve for sorting the big tent (can't spell marque!) and chairs and heating :thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1:

and of course thanks to everyone for the super company

Good to meet some old faces and especially good to meet some new ones, and looking forward to seeing you all again before too long

Here are a few pics I took, with the phone, so sorry about the quality

A big thankyou to everyone - (especially Dazzer), for making a wet weekend a lot of fun! Here are a few photos.........

Gutted I missed this..

Sitting here with a bandaged wrist getting moody looking at those pictures..

Keep them coming though :)

Thanks to Craig, Basil, Steve and Dazzer for putting on such a great weekend. Hope everybody got back home safely,
cheers
Chris

Hope you forgive me for putting up this pic of me, but I think the look on my face says it all!

I would like to thank everyone that made this such a great weekend
I also hope everyone enjoyed the ride out's that they attended.
