lets do the iron butt rally and do squires to john o groats and back again, in one hit 

[BigAlan]

I'm sorry to tell you    - you have to be strong now  - but - how do I put this?    I don't think people from around where you live are considered by most other people as being part of the North. 

No! now i am dissapopinted as my mate in Cornwall called me a northern monkey a few weeks back.

lets not in one hit! but a stop over somewhere on route would most likely prove popular

I did it in 2009 , the first time it was available in the uk, raised £30k for the poppy appeal and had a fantastic bike experience. Its very well organised and you are with about 200 other riders.
I highly recomend it

its on again in June , going from squires, not too late to apply

b]I've seen the reports and associated video evidence from Keith or Kevin (I think) on another forum, and it is amazing to see the distances covered    

My Butt aint iron enough tho' [/b]

That's the one Asif......and excellent it is too 

I think it's Kevins wife who compiles the 'wordage'... which makes for great reading

I know where John o Groats is (been there, done that but didn't get the T-shirt) but where the f... is Squires? 
Is that a pub in Inverness by any chance? 

[Lonewolf]

Squires is a biker venue on the outskirts of Leeds near Sherburn in Elmet. It used to be called the milk bar I think about 50 or 60 years ago when it opened

[Kwikasfuki]

Aye, makes great reading. One day I will do one myself.

Well, I dont know about anyone else but Thursday 1st March I'm off work and I'm looking at having a good run out somewhere on the bike, possibly even a quick trip up to Scotland, (west coast) and back for the day. Spot of lunch in a nice pub, take in some scenery and then a gentle ride back home. 

Now thats what you could call a Northern meet!!

[ChrisB]

As long as it's not raining, me and the Mrs will be at the Ponderosa around 12-30 tomorrow to get a bite to eat. My mate and his Mrs will also be there on his Pan that he bought today.
