I know it's early but I like to have things to mull over. So, next years Guzzi meet up. Where do folks fancy. Back to Dent or somewhere different? Leave us your thoughts and suggestions.
Yes, Ikkje and I stayed in the Blue Bell Inn. Accommodation and food was excellent, selection of real ales. Well-priced too.Kettlewell is a good spot, i assume there are a few pubs and B+Bs in the village for the more nesh amongst us (me)
London, pah! You’re virtually on the doorstep….sounds good to me Mr W.
I was OK with Dent, but as I'll be travelling from London, anywhere that's just as nice but a little nearer is perfect.
Thankyou![]()
Great area, 40 minutes down the road from me, if you decided on this location I would happily sort out some off road routes.I’d be up for this, other plans that are developing permitting. Dent is an hour for me so I’d actually prefer somewhere further afield.
Right now I’m in the campervan at Brow Farm campsite, Ratlinghope, Shropshire (no website I can find) but…. https://maps.app.goo.gl/VFvybfgfrtapQVxj6?g_st=ic). It’s bloody brilliant. Great pub (Bridges pub) 20min walk away with accommodations, covered area at the campsite area for socialising, stunning scenery everywhere and great riding roads on the doorstep. £10 per person on the campsite too. They are hosting the South Shropshire MC club Trials event this weekend so the field is packed, but otherwise it’s a big flat fairly sheltered spot. A corner of the field could easily be purloined. Just a thought. It’d need someone more localish to liaise with campsite and pub. It’s my first time here.
That sounds absolutely perfect. All the attractions of Dent but just a bit different. There's even a hill or two for me to run up.I'm going to go for ...Kettlewell...29-30-31st of May 2026. I initially thought the W/E before, but it's bank holiday W/E.
3 pubs in Kettlewell, a fair bit of acommodation plus campsite. A couple of other eateries and well placed for getting into the Dales.
It’s a bloomin’ long trek on a cafe racer!London, pah! You’re virtually on the doorstep….
I’ll put Kettlewell on my list of trips for next year. Any idea of a date?
