Anyone interested in a return trip to Middleton-in-Teesdale?
Either later this year or next Easter? Or both?
There is a big gap of BM events between Wales (10th June) and Barmouth (end of August), so we could do something July or early August.                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds great to me Steve, although I don't know where Trev will be during those time frames.

He is, of course, an international jetsetter! Well more trainsetter.😉😊😂🤣

This year, next year, defo up for both. The roads are just fab-u-lous 😍

Can we call dibs on your man cave? Can't afford to drop another £400 on hotels, not now, not next Easter.                                                                                                                                                                             

Lindsay, I kept telling everyone the roads are good up here.
They kept going to North Wales or the Peak District National Carpark for some reason. 😆                                                                                                                                                                             

£400 ?!?! Wtf... 🙄😳🤨

The Belvedere over the road was fab, clean, ace brekkie and much cheaper than that!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

That was all-in Lindsay, full board and the drinks tab - though we're sure they missed a few ciders on that!                                                                                                                                                                             

Yowzers! Thank God they missed a few ciders...

B&B, and food/drinks through day came to half that amount.

Can't comment on petrol costs though 🙄😳🤨                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds wonderful.. I'd even attempt to turn up with all limbs operational 🤣                                                                                                                                                                             

🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣 @Strom ... As if!

Although it would be good to see you without a lurching limp! 😉

I've been down to the Teesdale tonight, Dave (the manager) says 'yes please' to bringing you all back 😃

Wasn't there talk of a seperate gathering up Alnwick way or was that just the beer fuzzing my memory?                                                                                                                                                                             

Strom check out:
A northern BM camp?
I think that's the one you are referring to it was posted 2021. 🤔

Apologies if I'm wrong 😁                                                                                                                                                                             

You are quite correct Lindsay however there was talk whilst in Middleton-in-Teesdale at Easter of a trip further north to facilitate exploring the East Coast and Holy Island etc as it was a long ride from Middleton👍                                                                                                                                                                             

There was, and possibly still is, but I ain't done anything yet about a Northumberland camps.
A day trip to Lindisfarne isn't a problem for half a dozen bikes - you just need to be prepared to thrash a bit 😀, but I just wasn't prepared to chance it with 25 bikes on a bank holiday, I would have lost people for sure.

Soooo......
From here Lindisfarne is about 2 hours brain out riding, about 3 sensible progress and about 8 hours 'live to ride, ride to live' cruiser territory 🙂
How about the weekend 8 - 10 July? Lindisfarne safe tide crossing on the 9th is 13:35 to 22:00.
Booking B&Bs might be a bit more of a faff cos it's holiday season, but it's July so it should be campable.

The Teesdale is fully booked that weekend 🙄                                                                                                                                                                             

Same with Belvedere.

Looks like it may be campsite ...                                                                                                                                                                             

The other good tides option is the 23rd July, otherwise your camping.
But it is peak season so accommodation will be at a premium everywhere.
