Sat 7th March: Ride to Holy Island

[garfield]

If anyone is around a fancies a local ride leaving from the BMW dealership in Dalkeith down to the Holy Island (http://www.lindisfarne.org.uk/) on a selection of the great back roads in the Borders (hopefully the weather will be ok).....will also have to co-ordinate with the tides I suppose.... ...either way a blast out on the bike if anyone is interested (I've never been to Lindisfarne before...) and it will be the first weekend I get for a couple of weeks yet....

i took a run down yesterday,a 1 a bit boring unless you want to stretch the legs of your bike.holy island itself is ok if you remember to read the tide tables.

yeah I was more thinking about the ride than the destination, you can get lost in the Borders for hours....

Depending on whether I get my chores done tomorrow morning, I might be able to meet you out there. What time are you expecting to be at Lindsisfarne?
www.northumberlandlife.org/holy-island I believe will give tidal timetable.

I hope he's better wi' dates for weddin's and stuff

 

[skinnersscotch]

I like the idea of a blast to the Holy Isle. My GSA doesn't arrive till April so it might be my last blast on the Pan, apart from the dice with death to work.

[Rev Chuck]

Thanks to all you kind chaps who wisely and graciously pointed out my mistake.
When I saw this this morning, I did think that the bold Garfield was awfully hasteful in planning for tomorrow.
Hey ho!

I quite fancy a run doon to the Holy Island. It's a run I was always gonnie de wi' Forry and never got roond to it. But I might be at the Man United game that day if I can get a ticket.

Is this a MC run or your run, Garfield? If it's your ane run then I might ha'e to call off due to

1. Fixing my windscreen or
2. Picking my Mum up or
3. Collecting tyres for my bike or
4. Babysitting my sister's bairn (well, he's 36 but nevermind..)




Nah, if I can, I'll hae a run to this...
