Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 been thinking, in a few weeks time, im going to be riding from hampshire, up to nottingham, or maybe further north, is anyone interested in joining me?and if any of the members around the north, can think of a good place to stop off, and if anyone from the north wants to join us when we get there, either for a ride or just as a meet, please post up any ideas for places etc
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 lol, no thats the furthest north ive ridden in one day, was thinking about going a tad further
Snoopy Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 whereabouts in Nottingham are you thinking of heading?Don't forget your bullet proof vest tho, is not the best of places When you thinking of coming up?Is it just a day release, or staying over, or for something specific?
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 the last time i was up, i whent around the derbyshire dales, places like buxton, bakewell, 13 bends etc, just basically whent from village to village, taking piccies and walking about,im thinking about making just one day, but if i can find somewhere to stay, i might make it a weekend
Snoopy Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 hmmm, might be joining ya then, possibly, all hinges on working it around mrs snoopy working and my having the kids (and now a tiny little kitten too) to look after.The sunday would be better than a saturday for me, but keep us posted when you're thinking of coming up and I'll see how it's looking.PS, can you bring some nice weather up with you, I'm sick of going out in the wet! PPS, don't ever get Notts / Derbys mixed up when talking to people from Notts / Derbys Just talk to us normal Junction 25 "on-the-fence" types that have to put up with bickering from both sides of the M1
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 lol, i got up to junction 28 on the m1, and lets face it, north of watford is northern for me, i even took my passport
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I'm just surprised he got past Watford without his bike getting nicked
Nell Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 He'd been up to see me. How he got to Mansfield without his bike beng nicked is the greater mystery.
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 at least i took your advice and took my passport and got my money changed on this side of watford
Stealth Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Nottingham is not north It's positively 'darn sarff' from here !!
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Posh southerners in Nottingham? Whatever next? Lol. Are you offering him a crib for the night nell?
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Nottingham is not north My nose started Bleeding when I reached Nottingham 8)

Its where Dambusters trained before going to Germany. I'll hook up with ya if I'm notworking and its dry
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 It is nice around there and roads are quite good too. Its just a bit further on than where you were before ie Buxton and Bakewell etc.
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 and i take it that its not quite your patch either I used to live in Sheffield so wasn't that far away and I still go Mountain Biking around there when I can
