Re: Saturday 6 Dec 14 - Salisbury Plain Green Laning Adventu Right, with a bit of luck it looks like I'm going to be free for the 6th, so if there's still room for an Africa Twin… Richard

Re: Saturday 6 Dec 14 - Salisbury Plain Green Laning Adventu Do you need to be particularly handy off road for this? Very tempted, just trying to get clearance from 'the boss'.

Looks like a great day out and even the weather was good. Stunning location, I've walked Balnakiel Bay a few times, been out to the range control building and even got out to Cape Wrath once (when they weren't bombing lol!), absolutely love it up there and will definitely try to join you if...

If anybody meeting in Penrith needs any last minute camping stuff, there's a massive camping superstore type place right near to the Red Rooster. No excuse for forgetting your tent pegs now :lol:

Good plan Paul, I'll see you at the Red Rooster at 1.00, or earlier if you fancy getting off sooner. Then pick whichever of the routes Austin mentioned that seems best. You got a sat nav? Looking forward to it as well. Richard

:respect-048:

Anybody who's travelling north past carlisle fancy meeting up for breakfast/lunch/whatever and then travelling on together? Austin I've transferred £10 and emailed the insurance. Hope you receive both. And thanks for all your work on this, doesn't sound like it's been very straight forward...

Hey Austin, I'm definitely up for it. See how long I can keep the bike upright for...I love a challenge :lol:

And thanks again from me too. Super slick organisation, brilliant group of people, all in all highly entertaining despite the questionable weather. Really wanted to stay last night, get stuck into a few more beers and then do the east coast today, but duty calls I guess! My first outing of this...

Right Mark, how about meet at Golden Fleece Services on Jn 42 M6 as soon after 2.30 as possible? Could easily be 2.45 as I have to wait for wife to get home from work, but I'll have a stern word with her friday am, and will get there as soon as I possibly can. I'll be the one on the r/w/b...

Yeah that sounds ok

Haha, no not mad, just trying to help. You appeared to be looking for inspiration for a roughly south ish route from KL avoiding motorways, that's what I came up with. The a65 will be busy, but I think everywhere will on a Friday afternoon, particularly as we head towards Leeds/manc area. I'm...

Right its going to be 2.30 before I can leave home so we could meet at m6 jn 42. How about ride to m6 jn 36, then a65 to skipton, then on to keighley, denholme, brighouse, huddersfield, holmfirth, glossop then Bamford? 4 Hours, plus stops etc, 160 miles. Say 5 hours which would get us there...

Looking like about half 2 at the moment, but I'm working on being free earlier. Will know for sure by the end of this week.

Hi Mark Sounds good and i'm interested but don't think ill be able to get off before mid afternoon at the earliest unfortunately. Will let you know if the situation changes. I'm in Carlisle btw. Richard
