Now I know it's only recently that we went to Tan Hill, but at the end of today's "Disorganised Chaos" ride out (brilliant by the way, cheers Dugald), a few people mentioned they'd never been.   Suddenly it was therefore agreed that we'll meet XK (and whoever) at Richmond next Sunday and have a ride to Tan Hill.   I'll post it up on the events with a suggested meeting time of 11.30 in Richmond aiming to get to Tan Hill around 12.30/13.00. (Please note they stop serving meals at 14.30.)   We'll be taking a nice route from Pontefract/Squires area if anyone wants to tag along, leaving at 9.30.  This will be a nice route but part of it is liable to be on motorway for time.   Any thoughts?  Is 11.30 at Richmond ok?                                                                                                                                                                             

yaaaayyyy Thanks Geoff  May have to scab a lift for this one though - IF my bike's working by then am not sure I fancy riding all the way up there (yet!!)                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds good Geoff....but not Learner Friendly then?   Anyone got a spare pilly seat?                                                                                                                                                                             

It's a long way hun.  Ok, it's only slightly further than Whitby, but a 125 route would really have to go through Harrogate and Ripon which would be a long ride. If you make your way to Squires, I am sure we can sort you a pillion seat, even if that means little legged me lol!!                                                                                                                                                                             

I will be pilly with Ian ... That's if we can find some place to store the crutches lmao.

Needless to say not sure if we will make it ;-)                                                                                                                                                                             

My bike is still in the garage and not likely to have it back by then...                                                                                                                                                                             

dont think i can make this one as yet                                                                                                                                                                              

Hi Geoff,   Great idea. Hope to be able to come but will confirm later.                                                                                                                                                                             

Could we go somewhere and have a BBQ?   Those picnic ones in foil containers are not bad. Sausages etc dont take up too much room and if the weather is good , we could all enjoy the sun set.   Or.. there might be a pub that would put on a barbie for us.   Please discuss!                                                                                                                                                                             

Napoleon, you're a genius! I think the issue with keeping stuff "fresh" etc may be problematic, so therefore prob better to have something arranged, but a great idea all the same                                                                                                                                                                              

I'm in awe of your genius napoleon   Pub meals are always an option if it rains   Come on peeps what are we waitin for   Em                                                                                                                                                                               

oooooo...BAR-BE-QUE!!!!! ...where's Geoff?? Richard - promise you wont get lost again???                                                                                                                                                                              

I'll bring some string...                                                                                                                                                                             

Bungee cord might be better XK!                                                                                                                                                                                 

This is on the events now.   Barbeque???  Brilliant idea ... getting something arranged with a pub may be difficult now, but there should be room for a couple of those disposable things and some sausages I'm sure.                                                                                                                                                                             

If we're serious about a BBQ (although I'm not sure the weather is going to be good enough on Sun, 13 degrees in Penrith but closer to 20 in Leeds) then I've got a coolbag that (I think) will fit in a topbox which should keep some bangers etc fresh enough.                                                                                                                                                                                 

Hmm, maybe 13 degrees isn't quite barbeque weather anyway . Maybe I'll try and reserve a decent sized table at Tan Hill instead? What do people think?                                                                                                                                                                             

tempting but im up squires friday hopefully to meet emma.....                                                                                                                                                                             

HFG , XK & Roachy,   I promise not to get lost again. Can you believe that someone in the middle of the ride line can get seperated.(silly billy me )    Def fancy being tied up with some bungee.!!!
