2026 UKGSER UKMGER mmeet up.

[Wrinkly]

I've just been having a look at accommodation prices for Kettlewell and they are tad on the expensive side. Even a camping pod is £70 and they want paying as soon as you book. I'm thinking we may be as well off with what we know. i.e. Dent.
So, I'm going to stick my neck out and say, 29-30-31st of May 2026 at Dent. I'll put it up in the main heading. Or we could do the WE before but it is BH WE.

As long as we don’t start changing venues as often as you change bikes…..

Dent it is then. Follow the leader

Edit:- I’ve updated my diary.

Edit edit:- That’s further north for Oldrat on his Cafe Racer

Only about 10mins.

Ok I will start to plan something. Wait out…

Ok, just playing with dates, would the 5,6,7 September work?

Somewhere in the north Cotswolds so it’s accessible to those from as far afield as Beverley, camping with pub rooms option?

I’ll solicit local knowledge for routes etc but tbh in the Cotswolds you can’t go far wrong.

As it’s effectively a mini Dent, well call it The Ding.

For those potentially interested, how do those dates look?

Sounds good Paul. Unfortunately I'm in Italy on those dates.

And it’s our wedding anniversary. We will be away somewhere romantic.

Have been lurking on this one in case I could make it. Big B'day celebrations for me that weekend so unfortunately not. Have fun

Let’s look at something a little later… wait out!

In order to keep this thread clean and Dent-focused, I've started a new thread for The Ding here -

Thread 'Autumn mini gathering - Cotswolds - 'The Ding' - 19/21 September'

Aug 26, 2025

Hi Guzzistas and others -

There were mutterings about maybe having an event this Autumn, so we don't have to wait until next summer for our next meet up Oop North.

It's a mini-Dent, if you like, hence it's being called the Ding.

The current non-plan is to identify a location that is -

• In the northern bit of the Cotswolds
• Offers camping and/or pub accommodation (plus options for motorhomes)
• Has a good pub on site or close by so we can self cater or eat pub grub
• Has good riding roads (not an issue and we'll consult local GSers for advice)
• Other attractions, maybe...
