Superb "bimble" folks.

Up on the ranges:







Stumbled acroos an abandoned airhead.....











Hard-core offroad crew arrived:







Again thanks for a very pleasant morning - Didn't stop for tea, as I had an urgent apointment with a garlic chicken pizza.

What a cracking day, best weather so far this year and great roads. Thanks to Yalcrabm and kelvin for putting this together for us and a special mention To Pissquick and his Mrs for coming all the way from Castleford to joins us (shame their mates Jason & Gail had their heads smashed in)

The first stop before doing the road or off road route.

And a view of the road route (feck knows what the off road was like)

I departed before tea to catch a *stunning* midday breakfast complements of me mam and it completed my morning perfectly. Yalcrabm, Kelvin, that was an awesome start to the day and I'll be getting lost on that range soon. Brilliant stuff and thanks for arranging it!

I only got three hours sleep this morning and fell asleep this afternoon at 1pm. Just woke up to find Newcastle relegated. Going out to get drunk again.

Special mention to Mort for trying so hard.
I'll put a gs-moto sticker on my pannier if you have any left.

And nice to meet many new faces.

Snoo ... AC.

Just like to add my massive thanks to yalcrabm & kelvinG for organising and leading the way today. A great 140 mile run on the ranges (if my sums are correct).

Good job gents...Cheers

I'm pleased everyone had a good day and that the weather was on our side. It was good to see so many tossers there, 18 at one point which I thought was a bloody good turnout. Look forward to the next one. Heres a few more pics.

KelvinG and Myalcrab what a fantastic day. What's your secret with the weather?

peter you know us we are fair weather bikers. i am pleased everyone enjoyed this little tour around our hidden gem, there arnt many places where you can get get away to peace and quiet, that was only a small part of it and we will do it again later in the year after our little trip to the black forrest in two weeks. it was a good turn out and the weather was great. it was nice to put faces to names and to meet up with the old rascals again (aldy and peter). it was nice and clear so we could see for miles. and the best part is the fact that it is almost traffic free only a couple of cars allday. it was an early start for our yorkshire freinds , but they really enjoyed the day and i did aswell

cheers YALCRABM
