Craig, I like the idea of an overnighter. Some of us had one in Blackpool last Oct. Great fun. I've never been to Newcastle, what about one there. I seem to recall you know the good places to visit ( or are we more interested in the seriously bad places )                                                                                                                                                                             

need to go a lot further for an overnighter than kielder.....there's nowt there for night times!!!!! might think of route soon for day outing... I'll have a run up there this wkend and check out some roads and distances etc.... possibly hartside over to kielder and back to otterburn etc???? I'll try it first!!                                                                                                                                                                               

Napoleon and here was me thinking you were a proper gentleman                                                                                                                                                                             

Oh yes, definitely enjoyed it.  Don't usually plan anything else when there's a whole day trip out, but I hadn't seen my mate for soooo long and didn't seem right to cancel last minute.  Anywas it all worked out in the end!! But I look forward to another meet another time, and an overnighter as well sounds good to me                                                                                                                                                                               

Richard---I think blackpool is probably better than Newcastle for a nights stay,  and a lot cheaper.... even I wouldn't spend the night in newcastle!!! every place is bad, but then you have the good bad places as well, but it wouldn't be fair leaving the girls behind!!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

XK--if you are reading this it was your idea of an overnighter so get planning-----seems to be a lot of interest                                                                                                                                                                             

does nobody else fancy scotland its not as far as you think and don't have to go north,perfect for an overnighter.Fantastic scenery through northumberland and perfect circular route taking in coast one way                                                                                                                                                                             

for an overnighter it might have to be a wkend when school hols are finished!!! sept-oct???? otherwise its the camping gear!!!!or the stars!                                                                                                                                                                               

If we were to do Scotland I'd suggest we decide on a venue and then allow people to book themselves.   But I'd be up for leading a quicker group up the A68 or the A7!!  Oh yeah!                                                                                                                                                                             

I think thats a good idea for any venue Geoff.... As you already know its a nightmare trying to book dates/numbers of peeps/types of accommodation etc Even for any day trips on BM there is nothing stopping peeps from arranging overnight stays themselves.. deffo up for the quickish ride, future points pending!!                                                                                                                                                                             

Right,heres what i'm thinking.Run up inland on the sat,sat night in Edinburgh,home the coastal road sunday.All beautiful roads and close enough so 125s can manage it.Dosen't matter if theres groups at different speeds as long as we all know where the final destination is.Am looking at city centre apartments(party pads) sleeping 12-20 if anyones interested but plenty accomadation to choose from if people want to sort their own.Loads to do on sat nite in Edinburgh and not all involving alcohol!!fancy another ghost walk myself.anyway peeps,what do you think?

That could be very interesting young lady     (sleeps 20 )   I wont be spoiled for choice   see chatroom above                                                                                                                                                                              

Now, now BC, ya know I was taking it easy on wet roads, , show ya the dry line sometime, .

Nice one Geoff, officer material, , as for the movers and the shakers, Ian oofs it a bit dun he HFG, bet ya liked that, . As for Roachy, ya sure moved your CBR too, bet you'd be glad to have that at full ahead, .

Soz Kaz, pushed off early for long trip back, but thinking about it, would/should have come back wiv ya, more fun in numbers hey, . Did need them waterproofs, on the way back, didnt we, luckily I had just pulled into a garage as it really started hammering down nr York, so stayed nice and dry, . BC's arse got soaked though, spray from the back wheel, , that bikes gona need a damn good clean when I get back home. No more biking till Fri, , stuck in Watford on business now.

Good going all, V nice turn out and great fun, & all.

Now to ave a look at em there pics, .

PS XK what, where, was she? and EM, thats two things I thought I'd see ya at, thought I'd see the legend,
                                                                                                                                                                             

Sorry NK but it seemed a bit rude to say "I'm off out" when peeps come to se ya So another time my friend, thankyou for your kind words Em                                                                                                                                                                               

I'm up for Edinburgh.                                                                                                                                                                             

  May I make a suggestion, so as to save confusion, to start a new thread for a different venue / event? The title of this thread is Squires to Whitby so folk won't know to look here for details of another event taking place elsewhere.                                                                                                                                                                              

Yes Kwak, of course you can.
