Well Nick Crisp and anyother Fockers ,how about meeting up at mine,West mids,North Hereford,South Shropshire on a fine summer day
you can stay the night before if needed
then we invite ourselves up to see Fizzy and take in some of his local scenery,
shall we ask him?
-
Sounds like a plan :) When we talking?
-
We all ride in Yorkshire lol :rollin
-
When the sun is back out,,and it will be BBQ and beer time :)
I fancy going a bit north sometime,,anytime,whenever we can gather a couple of Fockkers up.
-
If we're doing the whole camping thing (subject to getting a dry tent) would the lake district be a viable destination?
-
Lake district ??? Possibly count us in.... seeing as it's our neck of the woods x

Can't see why not....We were thinking about going camping on the 16th July to the 18th, Mon & Tues night as my lal lady is away with school (get out while you can type thing) but Daz has said if them dates aren't good for you lot he doesn't mind a couple dossing at his, as long as you understand he's doing it up at the mo :) x

:thumbup :thumbup :sun :sun :sun :sun x

could turn in to a summer meet :sun :woot :lol
Yep then need autumn meet south/south west
-
Well initially i thought maybe stay Friday or meet at mine on Saturday,leave heading north at 9.00am ,,100 miles or so to Fizzy,,be there for lunchtime,, then ride with him for five or six hours and then ride back to mine by 9.00pm.
Stay saturday night at mine or shoot on home.
Or
Are you thinking ride further North up to the Lake district ,,180 miles from mine on Saturday ,have a mooch about ,then camp there for the night and ride back Sunday?
-
I'm just shooting ideas, increasing options for future events. Just seems to me, time permitting the lakes would make for a competitive variable to Wales. Bring the British foccers together. :)
-
lakes not far from the scottish and north east lot too
And if you pick a weekend when I'm free, I may well pop across and see how ugly you lot really are ;-)
-
Lakes for the Lofo's would have to be an extended weekend in reality though.

Okey dokey 16th to 18th july.....no can do for me....would like to tick off the lakes some day....plenty time to do it
Although 16th & 17th July doesn't tie in with being monday & tuesday nights.........16th & 17th June is a monday & tuesday though???

Oh Hell ,,look out :)

Taking a long time for this idea to come out, can I start breathing again?

Ok, 5 Passes Ride: Kirkstone, Hard Knott, Wrynose, Honister and Whinlatter. About 250 miles all told, not a hooning trip, more technical, steep, fabulous scenery, cafes at Kirkstone and Honister passes. Somebody on another forum just did it for a day out, so perfectly feasible. So now I have to do it! :D
Camping at least one night (might do 3 myself, then head for Snowdonia for a couple more).
Latter half of July.
Any takers?
Southerners head to slimwilly's for overnight camping (Friday night? Or go with V's dates?) and head up to Lakes on Saturday. 5 passes on Sunday. Or something like that...

Hmmm, yeah, come on V, that doesn't tally, 16th to 18th July = Weds, Thurs, Fri. Clarify? :)

Ok, what I'm thinking is, me and midden will ride up to slim's on Sat 12th July. Then we'll ride up to the Lakes region on Sun 13th. We'll camp somewhere, maybe near Keswick, and spend through to Fri 18th around the Lakes. Then head down to Snowdonia around the 19th, couple of days/nights there, then down through Wales 22/23/24th, to be home for 25th July. Anyone that can join in at any point is most welcome! :)
I will constantly have to have one ear to what's going on at home, but bruv says he should be able to be around most of the time, so I think I'm clear for this, but may have to bang out at any point - don't think it will come to that, we'll see.
Wish I could've done the planned Euro trip, but I don't think I'd be happy at the mo, the way things are at home. At least this way, I can get some good riding in, hopefully with other Foccers, knowing that if I'm needed at home it won't take long to get there.
So, who's up for any part of this? Bill, you ok with that?
-
Ill join in on the Wales parts...particularly 22/23/24th coz I'm off then...no great shakes if your plans change bu then but ill watch this space & if any welsh riding is being done on those days ill be out.........
depends what your plans end up being but for example if your plans were say to go from Snowdonia to staying overnight at say Llandovery 22nd then on the 23rd if yous fancied going the loop to Aberystwyth i would be happy to lead from Aberystwyth down the coast to my homeland of Pembrokeshire & camp there on the coast somewhere like whitesands beach 23rd night.....it's as far south west Wales as youll get & i can always factor in any particular places anyone wants to see such as StDavids cathedral or Tenby or whatever.
Just another option really

Yep, hoping to connect with you at some point Noggy, hence those dates in Wales. Not certain of where to go exactly, part of that will be down to what midden wants to do. I would like to visit a couple of castles (who, me?! :lol) and take in some scenery, a mix of roads rather than just belting along the usual routes - if there're any I haven't done yet? (scratches chin in contemplation). But nothing set in stone as far as that goes.
-
I'll check when I'm working and hope I can join in at some point.
-
Yes, so far so good, i hope to come up with you to the lakes,i will definately have a day up there ,looking forward to it..

I drove the Hardknott and Wrynose in a VW Golf last year and it is awesome, lock to lock and my wife screaming. Great roads
