first big run on new bikes

[yalcrabm]

Just in front of the tank shown in yalcrabm's 2nd pic are 3 missile craters where the jet has fire on the tank without success and 1 to the rear. Come on Yalcrab get the pics posted I know you've got them.

I'll go on any guided jaunt if only to keep yalcrab going in the right direction as he's getting on in years and tends to forget things .

How does Mid May sound for a starting point?

i cant because some numpty altered the settings on my camara when we were up on the ranges the other day and the photos are to big to post. KelvinG if the cap fits so the only photos i can post are the ones i took before you got your hands on the camara

Nah... There's some decent MoD areas in Wales too for riding around. Just don't take the mick and Red Flags and closed gates mean Keep Well Out.

Even if the gates are open keep an eye/ear out. Last year some friends were on Otterburn and had stopped for a snack/picture when the ground around suddenly moved and large number of Army types popped up in full camo backed up by some vehicles. Someone had forgotten to close a gate and they had to be escorted off (IIRC) it was a live firing exercise!

dont you know the difference between a fine example of british engineering and a german tractor

For want of a better destination, does anyone have GPS or OS map coordinates for the tank?

I'm heading up North from London tomorrow, and will be out for a play in Northumberland, and will likely be out Otterburn way, so a tank makes as much sense as a place to go as anywhere else does.

Looks like l'll just be missing you then, as I'll be going past Otterburn tomorrow morning then going to London on Weds

Enjoy the views and the sunshine (warm too!)...

Excellent, thanks.

It's sunny down here, too. Well, dark now, but was sunny earlier.
