What's this tent bike thing? A bit like one of Dusty's trailer tents?

Can't wait to kick off the season back where it all started for me last year.
Better see if the mice have been at my tent ...

izzy always forget things like commas and full stops but a tent bike now that would be useful

Anymore interested? If so please put your name down on the event.
And anyone who can't attend I'd be obliged if you could remove your name so I have a better idea of numbers.

Only a week to go Big smile, I'm getting all excited about it.

So when is everyone planning to come over?

I will be there Thursday, most likely early afternoon.

Chances are I'll stop off at the manor cafe or in Hawes. If anyone wants to meet up on the way there let me know and we can sort a time.

There is some good walking in the area so if anyone fancies a day off the bike, bring your walking boots!

Interesting contribution there Dusty.

I'll be there Thursday, should be early afternoon too.
Not really thought about route but likely to come down and across from the west. If I don't see anyone around I'll pitch where we were last April (unless you tell me you found a better spot on another trip), and adjourn to one of the villages' fine hostelries - probably the Sun Inn, it's closest!

Hiya Izzy, I believe that Steve will be there on the thursday. Last time (men only wknd) we camped in tne shelter of the wall . Close to the bogs but upwind. It's a lovely site , village and entire area. We managed to stay dry last time ,,, here's hoping for something similar.

Looking forward to a pint , a good dinner and a roaring log fire down the boozer . After a day in the saddle.

Your both right, we'll camp behind the wall, but not too near the bogs cos that's the disabled pitch.
And I know XK is "special".... but he's not that special :-)

Now then miss Izzy. I've just noticed that you have referred to my beautiful Dandy Camper as a 'trailer tent' shame on you . And as much as I would love to take 'her' to Dent and then go back for the bike . It's a no no . I believe a biker should be self contained.

So the tent choice , small cotton snuggly or big nylon roomy. Will have to wait for the weatherman.

I will be landing quite late, as im going to rays this weekend was a little difficult to ask for more time off so soon, so will get there in the dark possibly and i think its gonna be the car, don't want to be riding around in the dark by myself in the middle of nowhere, and its likely that the bike is off for a bit o mainenence before the serious stuff begins anyway.....so will anyone need anything bringing, extra duvets, electric blanket, more beerLOL
