Bonniebird Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Tango and myself may be up for this if we can get the Friday off work. We think we may have to take a bit more time to get up there and back though as 500 miles plus rideouts over 2 days may be a bit much for our @rses etc... and we would want to see a bit of the countryside.What's the agenda? Rideout Friday, get drunk Friday night, recover Sat morning and off later on? What time to people normally arrive on the Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i couldnt get friday off last year, so arrived after midnight lol...have already booked it off this year , and definitely going on the bike . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Its normally turn up Friday and set the camp up/get organised then drink around a campfire (Gareth cooks) then Saturday a rideout up to Hartside and then around a lake ish sat night back around the campfire and sunday pack up go home.Gareth brings a big tent that we can all stand inside if the weather is bad like last year.

Adam_M Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Odd, I was planning a camping trip up to the lakes (on my lonesome) either the weekend before or the weekend after this!Might have to change my plans and join you guys, though I'm sure my little CBF125 would be terrified off all those proper bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Your 125 would be most welcome.I'm (probably) coming - just need to sort a few domestics out first before I can confirm.As for 'sitting round the camp fire' - I've yet to experience this at the site (as the last two years it pi$$ed it down!)

TC Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 A Rideout suggestion for the Saturday is to do the 5 passes.Kirkstone PassWrynose PassHardknot PassHonister PassWhinlatter PassThis route will give you some of the best views the Lake district has to offer. However Its about 110 miles with some challenging corners on 30% climbs and descents. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Ke ... 1&t=m&z=10Some off you will want to do the road up to Hartside again and have a blast up over that way so there's a choice of 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Here is the other rideout choice.https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid= ... 6,1.755066Hartside cafe onto Devils Bridge and back through the lakes.140 miles If you want a good blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
