The Quartet....

[Wrinkly]

Coffee stop was at Rosedale Abbey..................which bizarrely doesn't have an abbey and never did

Your right John Rosedale Abbey never did have an abbey but it did have a Cistercian priory.
The difference being monks lived in an Abbey and nuns lived in a Priory.

There is still a little of the old priory left behind the church.

Looks like you had a great ride,should have given me a shout.

We did talk of you in Rosedale, funnily enough.................but we thought 'you'd be up to your ears in packing cases'

Let's have a shuftie at your pics, I know you took some

I think Peters doing a deal with the devil today so yesterday's was the last GS ride.

I'm heading back in a bit so will try and post any pics.... It's all to complicated with a phone.

They do have a certain draw, as a rider's bike

I can see why

 

[Lee Frost]

And they're going for a cracking price

If you get equal portions there's always a price and you never know when it will pop up and bite you in the bum.

Great shot Tim and I do hope the ride back is enjoyable.

I do hope the ride back is enjoyable.

It was purgatory mate by comparison

Anyway the day before the Quartet Ride I was Billy no mates so headed off toward Kielder through some reet pretty places

Had a whizz down the Forest Drive in the rain

Even paid my 3 quid

At the end whilst sheltering from the rain and eating a cold pasty in the porch of the Gents....I thought, where next?

The weather's bound to be better on the coast

It's the first time I've made it across the causeway, last time 'someone' with a very strange Berwick accent had the tide tables for the previous year.....that ride through a rapidly advancing wall of sea water was something to be remembered

But I was lucky this time

Then the slog back down to my slum for the night

 

[Timolgra]

Then the Quartet day...on the Yorkshire Moors and Wolds....perfect GS country, this past few days up there have rekindled my love affair with the GS

Thanks again to you all for making it a day to remember... and thank you Petcul for not having the biggest portion of pie (also not stealing the kitty), thank you Lee for making me jealous of your regular trips to Iceland and thank you Johnny for showing us your patch but more importantly not reminding me your X Country does 162.795387 mpg.....I must've used well over £100 worth of fuel this past 4 days!!

Cracking images Tim.

Sorry about the journey back
