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

[Micky]

A whole lot of outstanding work and key note speaker preparations for next week will unfortunately mean that when I leave at lunchtime most of it will not be finished

Up the A1 for me then A659 across and up through the middle of the Dales, it's my best how do I get into the Dales without towns and do as much of the Dales to Dent as I can route.

...if you get buzzed by a Hexhead GSA with a Yellow Top Box it was me

Nicest and maybe best route, in my book, is straight up the A1 to junction 50, A618 to Masham and Leyburn, A684 to Hawes and in ... lovely biking roads but maybe some caravans on 'em

See ya later

.... I've used that one before and nip the Leyburn corner off by crossing between East & West Witton

I like the route in of the A659 which takes me to Pool in Wharfdale then its North to Greenhow Hill and across to Grassington and onto roads that always make me feel great what ever the weather - Up pass Kilney and then onto Hubberholm alongside that lovely river then the climb over top and down into Hawes - I'm a man of habit

Is there any need for that?

 

[mattgslc]

Bye

Thanks Mike

Looks great already there but family commitments now so we shall see what 2017 brings and hopefully will get the courage to get another BMW lol

All the best everyone, be safe and have a great weekend

 

[Wreford Miles]

Thanks Micky....

It was a short visit for me but as always most enjoyable...

After a lovely tour of the Dales best roads and cafes, thanks JB, I decided I was fresh enough to make the dash home rather than camp and leave early.

It's 60 miles from High Lanes to the Shell Garage at Pool and every one a cracking one, there's nothing like that down South so even the trip home is a delight.

Even though the weather rotated from good to crap all the way back at Newark I experience the best rainbow I've ever seen truly fantastic, biblical even! Black sky and a perfect full colour rainbow with a full ground to ground view of it in front - Had to be on my guard as people were trying to drive and photo and others were diving into parking spots to do the same.

Must buy a bigger tent for next year

Cheers

Wreford

Hey Micky, shall I bung photos from the weekend in this thread or is there likely to be another one for piccies? Cheers, cracking weekend, thanks again . Alex

Thanks once again Micky, I had a great weekend. Banter was fantastic, Stu (brut33) hilarious, especially when he wandered into the George and Dragon restaurant plonked himself down at our table and orders a chip butty. It's considered gourmet food in St Helens. You just can't buy class, nice one Stu

 

[Wreford Miles]

well that is the first and last time i will be going to dent

well that is the first and last time we will be going to dent

Two 'same' posts in different Dent threads, is this something we should be giving a 'fuck' about

 

[(RIP) spike418]

well that is the first and last time i will be going to dent

I'm curious. Why?

We had a brilliant time meeting new folk and catching up with others. Second time for us and definitely penciled in for next year

The 'free' bier has arrived, courtesy of Norm

Thank you Kev

No charge, help yourself to as much bier as you want .... but put a generous donation in to the box for each drink (like an approximation of its real price) all of which will go to The Great North Air Ambulance

I missed free beer!!!!!!

 

[Norfolk Tiger]

I missed free beer!!!!!!

I share your pain

 

[Posh Pete]

I share your pain

On the plus side, we missed Rocket Ron also. just do not understand that attitude. If there's an issue, post a PM to Micky with some positive suggestions but that kind of dummy spitting is beneath contempt given the work Micky and others put into this event.

[Khulu]

I'd like to thank Micky and everyone else for making my first Dent good fun!
It was good to put some faces to names too.
Now I'm settled in at home the sun is shining and it's warm - what a pity it was drizzle all the way home!!!!

Thank again,

Iain

I can't find where it is written, what thread is it originally in??

Fantastic weekend AGAIN Micky thanks for organising it and enduring all those craft ales in the Sun Inn on our behalf. Its a tough job but someone has to do it 🏍🏍🏍

 

[(RIP) Johno23]

Great weekend Micky! Cheers,

Thanks to everyone who organised it all.
Good to meet up with those from last year and to meet new people too.

The weekend was made all the better with the absence of NT.

I won the Rapberry Vodka despite Spike...... Hope you and Alex got safely home...........in the car

Hopefully be there again next year

Thanks again.

ps, who's Rocket Ron? where was his post posted, and why was he upset..........not that I give a fuck!
