I'm not your workhorse, careful or I'll steal your TZR after you finish it :wink: I know where you live :evil:

I can't find any details apart from the first post, other than meet up at squires then ride into the dales ( ?? )
Slowly approaching the more bikes than birthdays achievement

Also take some ear plugs the sound of electricity from the pylons overhead made a bit of noise every now and then

I was up there a couple of weeks ago looking at a couple of bikes...a zx12r that turned out to be a pile of sh1te and a sp2 that felt like it was going sideways when i took it for a test ride...

tbh there isn't really a bike scene down here and what scene there is seems to be very small and clicky so being back up north for a weekend will be great

Sweet, seems reasonable. I'll weigh it up and maybe book it in a couple of weeks.

Cheers!

What B&B is it mate,

i might fancy that my self as i'm a bit soft and it was cold as wombles at night and first thing on the last one,

only thing putting me off is it was good to talk baldrocks at the camp and have breakfast with the guy's at squires before heading out

such a b8stard they don't allow fires at squires, one of those fold away ones with coals in work great

Seb, I emailed them last night and they have replied saying "we are fully booked, unless you book 3 or more nights" so i'll be camping, I don't mind though as it's good fun in the campsite.

I might bring my tent, bit worried ill keep everyone awake with my snoring in the big tent :(
