Lakes Feb Campin' Weekend - The aftermath

[squid]

The 'Fresh' morning

Jacqueslemac, Bobble, Jordie foote and Adamm were still here come the second morning

KTM525 stopped just the one night which was just as well for him due to the airless airbed

Adamm to give him credit appeared late on the first night - as he'd spent quite some time waiting for the group on the wrong campsite

A lovely evening sky brought us iced tents by the morning. The tents had clear hard ice on them just after sunrise

great weekend

Thanks to all, had a great time both on and off the bike. good choice of roads and after visiting two campsites i can say we had the best one-apart from those fecking badgers messing with my tent! I did think i had been stood up on Friday night, not for the first time, by a group of men on bikes , that would be a first.


I will put some pics up as soon as i learn how.

Once again thanks for all the organisation that went in to it, very much appreiciated

ps, its a funny old world but just when you think you have heard it all about acts of utter lunacy along comes a fella who broke his ankle by carrying his canoe up a tree getting in it and lanching into the river bank!! top marks!!!

I'm at my mums for dinner so on dial-up. I read this before the pictures appeared and thought, who is zing? until the penny dropped

"Well done....Bobble!"

Gotto be said!


"Well done Bobble!"

that was the best bit of "sat-nav" reading i have seen in a long time!

seriously..... you led 12? tosser's round the Lake's with aplomb mate

well done, you didn't know the route or the roads and relied only on a sat-nav plot supplied by someone else brave indeed!

i rode right behind you mate for a lot of the time.....

it was a pleasure... well ridden! and well done!

i'd be quite happy to ride with you anywhere any time

nobody got lost... or fell off!


top performance!

for Bobble..... a big round





how much

I'd like to second all the good comments, it was a top weekend. I left Keswick just after noon and managed to get home before it got dark. It was 323 miles and took me 5hrs 13minutes, so you can tell the traffic wasn't bad - clear sunshine the entire way.

I've had a look at my pictures and will post some when I have shrunk them enough to fit on the site (shame it doesn't do it automatically, eh?).

If anyone with a picture of me could send them to me, I'd be really grateful, as I've never got any. That goes doubly for a picture of me actually on my bike. My photos with a bike in them are usually the "stationary bike in front of view" type shot.

Thanks again for the good company on and off the bike. I was hardly scared at all (on the bike).

The ice on the tent thawed out by the time I got home. It's now a puddle on the kitchen floor.

What a top weekend Big thanks to Squid for the open invite I set off to meet Rob (Squid) on route, and to be honest I was thinking on the ride up, what if they're all a bunch of W*nk**s? I'm going to be stuck with them for the weekend as it turns out you were a great bunch of Tossers

I really enjoyed the company, I've had a right laff, except getting up this morning at 4.30 to go for a only to find ice all over my tent and even on the inside

It's been a pleasure to meet all of you and I can't wait for the next one

Pics coming up

I've just discovered that as a non-subscriber, I can't post pictures. (I promise to subscribe when I have my 1150 GSA, really I will.)

Instead, I'm in the process of posting them in the UK Advrider site.

Squid and Geordie Foote...
Is this the "Liger" you were on about?

I think thats a pedigree one.

Now we just have to work out how to cross it with a badger and a goose for the perfect camping pet.

Nearly forgot to say thanks to flipfly for playing sheep dog on the ride
