As far as I know, the dates haven't changed Kev. 24-26 May 2013 is what I put in the video and more importantly the time I have booked off work (Well the Friday anyways)

Ok good news and bad news. I can't get the Friday off but I may be able to get Saturday off and ride up Saturday morning. Dump my stuff in one of your tents and do the ride. More news to follow...

In theory I am in...

I have to ask the guy at work (who I do not get on with) whether he will swap Saturdays with me. On the up side he is off during his Sat in but has not got anyone to cover. So my plan is to say I will cover his if he covers mine. If he does not then I will not cover his and I will still try to get the day off.

I will be riding up the Saturday morning though if I can make it.

Where will they let you pitch the tents at squires? I have seen it before on organised weekends and I kid you not, it is tighter than a duck's butt getting in and out of there with the sheer number of bikes.

What time are you planning to ride out on Sat morning?

That second day ride out looks good, but should definitely turn right at Settle, then right again on to Hawes rather than going to Ingleton, much better road. Or even better, carry on to Kirby Lonsdale, then up to Sedbergh, then right to Hawes.

IMO Route 1 should definitely go via the A166 York to Brid road - it's mint. Turn left at Fridaythorpe, then left again at Sledmere and you come out on the road between Staxton and Driffield.

As for the questions on the first page, I live less than 10 miles from Squires, so will probably sleep at home, and drive down in the car for the Friday night fun :) but I can provide a large 3 double bed room tent (comfortably sleeps 6) as long as whoever uses it takes care of it. I can also provide a garage and some tools for anyone needing repairs or anything, and if someone driving up a fair way gets soaked en-route, can provide shower and drying facilities.

That is a good question that... What time are you planning on heading out? Will need to know that if I am riding up on the Sat morning.

Also I read earlier in the thread that there were going to be a few tents provided, are there spare spaces in there or will I need my own?

Edit: I'm in :D just need times and tent availability.
