Just in case anyone missed this in the other topic, a few of us are planning to meet this weekend

Saturday 13 August

- meet up 0900 at Tickled Trout Garage off M6 at Preston
http://maps.google.c...383592598693411
- head up probably Settle - Hawes (egg and bacon)
- back via Devils Bridge (coffee)

I need to get back for tea-time to watch Newcastle take an easy 3 points from Arsenal (haha!)

So far it is hopefully

- Manx900
- treadman
- matlock
- pete7

Anyone else interested meet there at 0900hrs, or later in the run?

Pete

I might be able to make it later on and catch up(?). Are you doing the run Samlesbury to Skipton and then across to Settle and then Devils Bridge? Where do you get the bacon and egg?


I've to drop SWMBO in Preston at 8:00 and get back home, gear on and away so might miss you at first.

I am sure we can hang on until you get there TK, meet at 0900 probably means get away 0915 at earliest.....

I had in mind to go via Clitheroe, slaidburn, long preston, to settle... to bikers cafe in hawes

http://www.pennygarthcafe.co.uk/

and back to devils bridge afterwards. Open to ideas for more exciting detours, its a small group so we can be flexible.

PM me your mobile and we can text/call updates

Look forward to seeing you then.

Hi Lewis

Devils Bridge is at Kirkby Lonsdale

We can be pretty flexible and the ideas of Hartside (Mark) are excellent (Thanks M)

Treadman (Neil) has loads of info on the area as well including this:



Lets hope for some good weather

I'm still on for this, weather is looking to be improving too yahoo.gif . I've got something on in the evening so I'll have to be home by 6 at the latest, so may be taking an early dart if we're heading up to the Scottish borders rotflmmfao.gif Two of the things I've found out about Carpe G2Gs are:
(1) We never leave on time.
(2) We always over estimate how much mileage we can do in the time we've got. This is because of numerous cake/petrol/photo stops. If we ever meet up at at a point that is scenic and sells cake & petrol I doubt we'll ever leave rolleyes.gif

I'm 75% up for this.

Bike's OK, Have a pass out, and weather looking OK - so that's the 75%

The 25% doubtfull bit is that I'm out for a few pints and a curry on Friday night so I'll see how I feel - If I do turn up I'll take the back marker position!

If I'm not there by 9.15 then crack on and have a good day.

Looks good, but there is a fair bit of A59/A65 on there which might be busy

I had in mind, something like

0900 meet at Tickled Trout

A59 to Clitheroe
B6478 to Slaidburn and Long Preston
A65 to Settle

COFFEE MARKET PLACE SETTLE


B6479 to Horton in Ribblesdale and then on to Ribblehead Viaduct
B6255 to Hawes

1130 (ish) COFFEE AND BACON, EGG BUTTIES at penygarth cafe, Hawes


(loop round Buttertubs Pass to Thwaite, Keld, Kirkby Stephen, A683 to Sedbergh - if anyone fancies this)
A684 to Sedbergh
A683 to Kirkby Lonsdale
A65 Ingleton
minor road High Bentham
minor road across moor to Slaidburn

1500 COFFEE AT LITTLE CAFE SLAIDBURN


B6478 to Clitheroe
A59 to garage before motorway

SAY GOODBYES AT GARAGE, recount tales of derring do

(2000 Celebrate NUFC surprising, but magnificent, victory over Arsenal)

Safety first - Everybody ride at own pace, meeting stops above, or as agreed at the day, will mean NO-ONE has to rush to keep up

What does everyone think?
