craw Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 If anybody is heading up to Inveraray it may be worth checking to see if the Rest & Be Thankful is open.It was closed yesterday.There was some movement in the hillside & it set off the sensors.Not sure if it's reopened.Cheers Jimhttp://www.campbeltowncourier.co.uk/201 ... once-more/ Quote

TC Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 Well done Ian & SueI went out yesterday with a lad from work and forgot to take my number with me Quote
nman1 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Had three days out on the bike and only managed to get three tags. Thought I`d got "The Plough" at St. Neots but when I checked the photo when I got home, only the top half of the bike was in the picture. No number visible Quote

TC Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 Well thats the last 3 of the pubs done for me Medal Medal Medal Quote
Throttled Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Booked in to do the Dumfrieshire and Borders tags on the 12th and 13th March. Apart from the starting run down the M74, it is all good looking roads I do not know. Quote
nman1 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I can`t find a White Horse or a Kings Arms Probably not looking hard enough Quote
Bonniebird Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 There's a White Horse in Eaton Socon on the main road. It's on the left if you are travelling north up from Wyboston Lakes.King's Arms at Polebrook near Oundle. It's probably our closest one. Could do a run up to the Rutland tag, taking that one in on the way there or back. Quote
nman1 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks Mandy, will have a run up to them at the earliest opportunity. Quote
TC Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 Could do a run up to the Rutland tag. Could make that a beginning of season meet Quote
Stu Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Could do a run up to the Rutland tag. Could make that a beginning of season meet Make sure I'm not working Quote
Bonniebird Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Could be up for a Rutland meet. Finish the Uni visits after next weekend Quote
dfrbrowne Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 use google... is it cheating I keyed all of the names in and there are a lot around my area on the Wirral, should be able to do about 5 in one ride... there are a few that mean a bit of journey. Quote

No mate its not Cheating, I have put the postcodes there for people to use.Its an excuse to get out on the bike and go to somewhere you might not normally go, Saying that most of the tags are on good biker roads or are good biker pubs/cafesEnjoy the challenge Quote
TC Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Congratulations to Whitedevil for completing the Pub section of the challenge Quote
whitedevil Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks TC. I had a good ride out today and found some nice roads altho i did get lost at one point and ended up riding around in circles. Covered 150 miles in total. Not bad for a sunday afternoon. Quote
Lumor_uk Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Lol just seen thishttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=2 ... 585e&msa=0I'm in the Oxford area...there are no spots for about 50+ miles and even none in the cotswolds some of the best views in England. Bourton on the Water always seems to have lots of bikers there on a summers day.http://www.cotswolds.info/images/bourtononthewater/village_of_bourton_on_the_water.jpg Quote

Bourton on the Water always seems to have lots of bikers there on a summers day.http://www.cotswolds.info/images/bourtononthewater/village_of_bourton_on_the_water.jpg I know some areas seem to be covered more than others, unfortunatly with only 100 tags to place over the uk this was always going to happen. Which is why we added the 10 pub names to get everyone involved.If anyone has a place of interest, a good road or somewhere they would like to included in next years challenge Please feel free to PM me or Stu and we you see what we can do.

Stu Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 i have just imported that list on to tyre so i can put it all on my sat nav Quote
