Yep, the pair of us are going to go to the Tanhill Inn in Richmond, North Yorkshire tomorrow for lunch and a chin wag if any of the Northern gang fancy meeting up. Its worth the trip up there if youv'e never been.

my opologies to the "wolf" I did arange to meet steve around is neck of the woods for a ride around yorkshire, but forgot I had made a doctors appointment before my holidays for the same day.. DOH..!
Roger, nobody called anything off! :mfr_lol:
The more dedicated of us did go and there was no rain until I got back to Skipton on the way home. In fact the weather was great as was my grub at the Tanhill Inn.
Good for you Steve, and I'm glad you enjoyed your ride out whilst 2Kwacks was at the quacks having a memory test :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
