Otley W Yorks/Clitheroe Area?

Sounds OK to me

Where abouts? In Market Square or the car park of the Little Chef on the by-pass roundabout? (that'd be on the Leeds side of roundabout where the A65, a59 & A629 meet)

Suppose it depends on the plan, if there is one yet?

Bolton Abbey - Hawes - Tan Hill Inn - Leyburn - Masham - Sun Inn?

Out towards Slaidburn on the back roads is nice, could maybe get to Rivvy?

Did the Tan Hill Run a couple of weeks ago, took about 5 hours, which was steady riding, pee & fag stop in Hawes and lunch at the Tan Hill Inn. (That's with about 20 - 30 mins at each end between my house and the start finish points.

IMO avoid A65 (Devils Bridge etc) too much traffic / idiots / police.

Any other suggestions?

Beauty, little chef car park then on Sat at 13:00. That ride out up to Hawes sounds like just the ticket.
So:
1. RedStormV
2. Beamish
3. Warby
Anyone else?

I'll be there.

Be taking it fairly easy though - brand new Michelin Pilot Road 2's on.

Bit of a route for anyone with GPS or bits of paper stuck to tank

Skipton Little Chef (petrol station next door)
Kilnsey
Oughtershaw
Hawes
Keld
Tan Hill Inn (Lunch?)
Arkle Town
Reeth
Leyburn
Middleham
Masham
Grewelthorpe
Risplith
Pateley Bridge
Greenhow
Blubberhouses
Sun Inn (Beverage? coke, tea etc)
outskirts of Otley
Askwith Moor
Skipton Little Chef

All in all 128 miles according to Map source, so we might have to top up in Pateley Bridge.

I'll stick it in the Zumo and hopefully remember the BT unit for me helmet.

Any other recommendations, alterations or alternate routes welcomed.

Having already mentioned Bolton Abbey, if anyone particularly wants to go that way, we can pick it up at beginning or end of the route no probs. There's also a nice little cafe @ Burnsall (enroute) that does smashing bacon butties.

Beautiful thunder

Looks like there may be at least 2 or possibly 3 more along.

Wor lass on her Hornet 600, a mate of mine, Mark from Keighley (GSXR750) - he'll meets us at Little Chef.

Possibly (if he gets allowed out) a lad called Adam on his Blackbird - we did similar run to this a couple of weeks ago and he loved it.
