6th Northern Mini Meet

[chris]

Hi Guys
Fancy one? We did one in Jan07 I recall. Was it in at Dent or Allenheads¿ (great this Spanish keyboard ). Is Blakey letting bikers back?¡ Suggestions on location? Date? Between now and Easter, I´m around on 12/13Jan, 19/20Jan, 2/3Feb, 9/10Feb, 23/24Feb, 1/2Mar and 8/Mar.

Maybe we can make a plan.
cheers

Hi Chris
A damn good idea, I'd like to get on a weekend soon, missed all (most of the mini-meets)..
I have e-mailed the Lion at Blakey to ask if camping will be back on the menu for 2008. Will post their reply when I get it.
Not been to the Allenheads, but Dents great.
Was good to speak with you at the AQA exams meeting Nov.
See you,
Col

Hi Chris
bad news from the Lion Inn- here is the reply:

"Yes, sorry but the camping field is now permanently closed and will not be re-opened in the future. The only exception to this is for long distance hikers on the Coast to Coast or Lyke Wake Walks who may stay for 1 night in tents.

Regards
Paul Crossland
Manager
The Lion Inn"

So it's over to you,
Cheers for 2008, let's hope it's a better year.... cheaper fuel, empty roads, less tax.... we can always dream.

Hi Chris, Got to say Dent was not the most hospitable of places and Allenheads pub was ran by MR STRANGE, I am sure that a more hospitable place could be found. Not sure if I can get along but will keep an eye on this page to see what happens and when. Jake.

(I know of one or two places up here in Northumberland that would make a decent venue but it all depends what people want and where they want to be.)

Hi Chris
What about Tan Hill? Food is good, is lovely, welcome is warm. There is room for camping, alternatively if folk don't want to camp there is the bunkhouse and rooms available. Can't do 23/24th Feb but whatever suits the majority of folk.

Agree Tan Hill is superb biker friendly venue with a great location. Good one debz.
