See everyone tomorrow

Sun is going to shine on Saturday too

.. maybe not on Sunday though

Just in case anyone has printed any maps off ( you don't need to ) ... on Sunday there will be a change of plan and we won't be heading to Easingwold for just after lunch ... turns out Easingwold is all shut off for the St George's parade at 2pm ... so new plan of action is needed

Hi Stuart, we're heading across from S.W. Scotland. Probably turn of M6 at Preston, did you manage to get any other interest?

A couple of us are meeting at Wetherby services between 9.30 and 10, if anyone else is heading North at this time it will be good to see you there.

Looking forward to a sunny weekend hopefully

Well that's us at the hotel. It's our eldest birthday today so we are staying tonight as well. Hotel looks very grand well done James.

Had a fantastic clear run past the ribble viaduct and through hawes, just great. Looking forward to a nice meal and a great weekend.

Kind regards.

My plan is to be at the hotel 10;30 am on Saturday morning. You don't have to be there this early as I appreciate it is a distance for some of you. If you could give me an indication of when you might be turning up I can then arrange to be here to meet you & then let you know suggested driving routes over the moors.

:

Morning James, hope to arrive just after 11am.

forgot to add .. the hotel has reserved parking for us all ... so when you come to the hotel the road forks, take the road to the right and our parking is in the meet & greet area by the new part of the building. This area is monitored by a night porter & cameras etc . They might have put signs up

Also, if there are going to be any mobile speed cameras about ( which on a sunny weekend they will be trying to slow the bikers down) , they are most likely to be on the following roads: ( N.Yorks have just bough 3 SILVER mobile camera vans ). Keep an eye when the road drops down to a 40 or 30 mph

A173 Guisborough via Great Ayton ( you might come in on this road )
A171 Guisborough to Whitby
A169 Pickering to Whitby
A170 Pickering to Helmsley
B1257 - Stokesley to Helmsley ( Yorkshire TT )

Also in that area they have a camper van which sits in moor laybuys and can kill up to a mile ! Pretty impossible e just a money making scam bar stewards
