Hi Fritz - We got a bottle in amongst some other bottles as Crimbo prezzie - although we were also interested in it after our tasting trip, we couldn't even drink the bottle between us - bit too many 'hints of fruit and spice' for me. We were disappointed because we have really enjoyed all other Cropton brews but this one was just not to our taste. Not that this helps you find a bottle but just to let you know it did hit the shelves.
Cheers for the book. Hope to see you both at Cropton.

Dazco your a puff - there thats got it out the way Eh!, you know the pub has a cottage for rent if its any good to you, keep it quiet though cos its not unknown for certain people here to slip quietly into the warmth when your looking the other way and find a spot on the floor or a setee. If you look around there the easy ones to spot after a few s - they usually wear pink shirts and very tight hot pants. (the bloke one do anyway.)
Me Ill be the one in the mini skirt and fishnets with red high heels !!!
(ignore the beard though)

I was deliberately ignoring this thread in the hope it would go away - too bloody cold in February !! - but now Doug is ""rounding us up" and Angus is putting forward volunteers I can hardly lose face - so booked the Friday off work today - my tent took a bit of a battering at Aviemore too - grit in all the tent poles -but I am sure it will survive one more trip - 400 miles from here! hopefully the snow will be gone by then.

Chizz - Usually we do this one in January so I thought of all those softies that might think it a tad cold so I moved it nearer to spring time instead - it will be almost tropical down in Yorkshire bye then.
Be really nice to see you all down from the top end.
Jake.

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.
