UKGSer 'Dent event' Friday 19th - Sunday 21st May 2017

I'll be on the mountain bike so will be looking for somewhere around a 20-25 mile round trip taking in a few pubs and at least one cafe along the way. I'd do more miles but battery range is the limiting factor

In five and a half years, the countdown has started.........

 

[Giles]

I'll lead a run again and hopefully Magnet will too and a few others..............Dutchbryn will be spoilt for choice

And if Harry The Cat leads us home can somebody put a fire cracker up his arse this time ....

Run planned with a change of lunch stop as the Manor Cafe is 1) shite and 2) now closed down anyway. Run may have a special extra loop to visit the north eastern air ambulance base (if Micky gets his act together)

 

[Rushy]

Oh well, I feel compelled to make it 3 in a row Micky . Fri & Sat night . One tent please sir

 

[Giles]

Cor .... I'm looking forward to my double bed and en suite shower in the george and dragon ...

I'm sure a better lunch stop can be found and you'll sort it, I can think of plenty of better places

 

[Giles]

I feel some excellent photographs brewing ....

But still good fun. It's years since I took a mountain bike of any description up to the Dent area and I think I need the help if I'm going to go over Kingsdale which would be part of any planned pub crawl.

You can have a pub crawl without leaving Dent

They're only 200 yards apart

Used it many times, as have you

Cracking place

I like Kearton House too or Berrys or might do Helwith Bridge, if some fancy something a bit different and the weather is good

I know exactly where they are and you've reminded me that I'm supposed to be phoning the campsite to see if they're open over the New Year bank holiday because my wife fancies having 3-4 nights up there in the wobbly box using Dent as a base to cycle around the area a bit.

I don't know where she gets these crackpot ideas from but I'm not going to argue with her

Crackpot idea?

Stupid if you ask me

[Giles]
