TheMadRatter Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Can I respectfully request a change to the map? I know I'm new here, but I'm pretty damn sure Nottingham counts as Midlands and Belvoir Castle aint NE England, it's East Midlands Also - I have more than one bike and i go everywhere on all of them (The Fazer and the Rat mostly) so do I need to use the same bike in every pic?

Bonniebird Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You can use more than one bike I think the idea is to have groups of ten tags per area - I don't think the naming of the areas was supposed to be that geographically accurate - 'Midlands' could potentially cover an enormous area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Mandy is exactly correct.I used the 'closest' name for the group and, as I used to cycle from Nottingham to Belvoir during summer holidays, I know exactly where the castle is!You do not even need to use a motorcycle (although that would defeat the object of the 'challenge'. EDIT: Just realised this is the 'PICTURES ONLY' thread - There is a discussion thread for general comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadRatter Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Right - found the discussion thread So will soon be taking part in this - lots of rallies this year and i'm "Road Captain" of a 125 Rally club so expect a lot of pics hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Er-um GOGand photograph your bike with your Challenge number at the location Those last 7 tags only had your ugly mug in them. Now we all know you ride a Blandit but you have to show it off now and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 OK so, there has been two changes to the 'Tags' so far:1. The Cavern Club has been changed to the Hard Day's Night Hotel (as you could not actually get to the Cavern Club without leaving your bike some distance away.2. Cafe 1 is now Frankies Diner - exactly the same Cafe, just a new name (excellent Bacaon Bap!).Please note: When going to the Robber's Bridge, the road is currently in a very bad state due to recent storms. If you are not cofident, then take a picture of the road sign (1.5 miles away): Picture attached: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I've started! 160 miles to get a tag that's about 20 miles away! The road to the crooked house is not very good at the best of times!It's pretty bad now.Several roads around there are closed at the moment.Yes Al! where's the bike?

Grumpy Old Git Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I spent most of the time as a pillion - we were on my mates Honda Silverwing and, as I don't particularly like Honda's , he took the piccies of me at the tags. I 'took control' a few times and reckon I was 'up front' for about 1 third of the trip - he definitely likes going a bit quicker that I do!I still can't convince him to join TMBF though - But he's thinking about popping over to the Rally to meet folk and maybe.......

Throttled Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I start my next batch on Tuesday. I am doing the North West Lake district tags, then across to Northumberland and start the North tags. Over night camping near Acomb then more North tags finishing off near Wakefield. Then into Lincolnshire to spend two days on all the north east tags, finishing off back in Yorkshire to do the final tags for the North. I will be camping at the Rose & Crown campsite near Spalding. My dream type of site with camping next to a pub!So that will be two areas completed and six out of the ten for the North West. I plan to do the rest of the North West when I go and do Wales in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
