Wheels across the wall

[Mort]

A number of us will be trying to emulate the excellent ride out held earlier in the year across the Scottish boarders with some off road thrown in.
This time the starting place will be Hexham, Northumberland on the 23rd of September (11.30am)
There will be a couple of off road sections of about 10 miles the rest will be back roads.
If you are not into off roading then there will be a road only route to follow where we can join up after the muddy bits.
Details to follow, hope to see you there.

Nah. "I come back from my hos that day" as in "I get the ferry from Ijmuiden"...

I think someone was at the Inn on Saturday night trying to tell me about this.
Doesn’t look like I can make this one either.

A few of us have been out today and covered the route for next weekend. It's safe to say that this can be done on normal tyres as none of us had knobblies on and it p1ssed down all day

The route is not too long but covers some 35miles off road across Northumberland joined up by some wonderful lanes giving us breathtaking views on the way. The off road sections are on hard tracks not muddy fields or bogs.

We will be leaving Waitrose car park in Hexham at 11am sharp on Sunday the 23rd of September, if you are joining us but not doing the off road bits please let me know and I will try my best to furnish you with meeting points along the way. This will have to be done in advance as mobile phones don't work out there.

See you next weekend.

Bump anyone coming?

Bump anyone coming?

Possibly - I'll see how I am after tomorrow's West Coast run.

If I turn up I'll be on my 100GS and intending to do the off-road bits.

Will you be meeting at the Wentworth Cafe at the far end of the Waitrose Car Park ?

Bob.

 

[Mort]

Indeed, thats the one, hope you can make it

 

[Voyager]

Well, I made it to the Northern Section 'off road' run - and a very good day was had by all (well, apart from those who got left behind ).

I have put some photos on the Northern Section site under "Wheels across the wall" if you wish to see something of what we got up to.

Thanks to Mort, Petcul and Aldie for organising, leading & being Back Marker on the run.

Special mention should also be made of 'Georgia' who saw it through despite being terrified of dropping her lovely 1200GS

Bob.
