I'm game :smiley: but trying to get the others up there at the same time is proving difficult :grin: did try last year a few times but  :sad: ly there was no takers. I think Mr wolf thinks I've got shares in the cafe and objects to lining my pockets :mfr_lol: whats the weather like this sunday :smiley:

its the same old story, been involved in many meets over the years and trips abroad and people are all keen and then just always drop out at the last minute with " family commitments" . We just dont arrange group stuff anymore, but will always say see you there kinda thing . its just life

O.C.

My Daughter and her partner are visiting the Lakes this weekend so its a 'no go' for me I'm afraid.

I'm commited to another ride out on the next weekend (March 4th) 
BE KIND...

Why have a 'Northern' meet deep in the South?
What about the Green Wally and then a short blast up to Glen Coe?
Sounds probably as ridiculous to you as Wales sounds to me.
It would take me most of the day just to get there.
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

meckie this is not a pre-organised meet of everyone one in the north. it's just a local ride out for thoses with-in a reasonable distance of the said place! I understand northwales is to far for you to ride for one day. think the the idea was that we all could arrange local groups with-in a few hours ride of any said location, like the kirby lonsdale meet recently :smiley: maybe once or a twice in the year a long weekend could be arrange to cover a wider area. ie" the cotswolds meet in june" for example, I live in the northwest so I'm happy to ride approx 2 hours to talk some "bollocks" and have a brew and ride around :smiley: it's not a case of not including the longer distance members, it's up to the individual to arrange some thing with-in a manageable distance for those you can or want a days ride out :smiley:

feel free to start a thread suggesting your ride out plans , just as 2 kwacks has , Glen coe is a great area and im sure plenty will take you up on the offer. 
looking at the members map, wrexham area stands a reasonable chance of attracting a few local members.

Glencoe, 300 miles from my place, I'd be up for that.

BigAlan

Glencoe, 452 miles from my place, forget that.

I'm sorry to tell you   :innocent: - you have to be strong now  :help: - but - how do I put this?   :sweatdrop: I don't think people from around where you live are considered by most other people as being part of the North.  :no:
The later you brake the longer you go fast.
