Annual GTR Meet up May 2020.

[O.C.]

What I am planning to do is cancel if need be my May booking for Scotland at the very last minute to avoid any fees and then re-book the same holiday again for June with the option to cancel penalty free if the restrictions still aren't lifted. I'm going to do this on a rolling month by month basis until the restrictions get lifted to avoid disappointment if they suddenly have a flurry of bookings.




Roger, of course if you were available you would be very welcome. It would be good to have the BMW hater along too on his imaginary new K1600  and maybe even Charlie could force himself to come and revisit Scotland as he seemed to enjoy it last time he went.

A cunning plan Steve

I will do my best to be there and promise not to 'have a go' at any BMW owners

BMW hater. Wonder who he is? On a personal basis there are a few test rides I want to do but obviously can't.  As somebody else said so hard to plan. But my problems are nothing compared to the families who have been effected by this virus.

Well I have finally admitted defeat and cancelled my hotel booking and the ferry crossings. Who would have thought it all those months ago when this was in the early stages of planning. 




**************************************

However, all is not lost. After Boris gave his update and potential projections last night for the forthcoming weeks and months and with the limited info coming through from Ms Sturgeon re the restrictions in Scotland it made sense to consider some alternative plans going forward. So, with that in mind I am looking at postponing the GTR meet until Thursday 6th August through to Monday 10th August. So the same days of the week just two months on. I have booked my accommodation with the option of free cancellation so I've nothing to lose. The only downside is the accommodation is a bit more expensive than it was in May but still worth every penny.


Please check out the update on page 1 for further information. Let's make the effort if we can and try and have a meet up before the biking season is over!!

Thanks for the update

Unfortunately we can't make the August dates. We are going to take the original dates off work and just go on a couple of leisurely rides around North Yorkshire each day.
Work have asked us to keep all dates booked so that everyone is not cancelling and leaving them all until the last part of the year which is understandable.

[Lonewolf]

They're your holidays, you should be able to take them wherever you want.

Can't make those dates. Moved my ferry trip Dublin to Cherbourg from 8 June to 3 August. Ferry currently  running as normal but French won't let foreigners into the country at the minute. Hoping that changes by then.

There's very little interest in the new dates, are folk just being cautious or are you all scared of the midges?

surely nobody would do that!

As said, I am interested but it feels a bit difficult to commit in the present situation.

Mind you, if there is anything you could do about the midges that may tip the balance...

I am very interested but alas I cannot confirm or book dates for holidays. And a lot of dates are allocated via the Union  :censored

[Lonewolf]

There are so many negatives to working, it's so restrictive

[Lonewolf]

Ordinarily, today up and down the country people would have been prepping their bikes for a trip to the Scottish Highlands tomorrow. Such a sad time. 

[PRD]

Do some manufacturers bikes need more prepping than others?
