South Goes North Weekend 17/18 June

[Jelster]

I'm planning a trip "up Norf" to meet with some of the Pennine Massive and take in some of their wonderful countryside (and roads).

Plan is:

Friday evening - Ride up to Skipton
Saturday - Taken for a tour by the Peninne Crew
Saturday Eve: Some time with the locals - potentially a barbie if the weather's good (but we are talking about "Up Norf...")
Sunday - Depart South coming via Cat & Fiddle, Buxton, Matlock etc

Friday evening's route will be:
17:30 - Depart Cherwell Valley Services (J10 M40) A43 North East
18:00 - Arrive Rothersthorpe Services M1 Northbound Fuel Stop
18:15 - Depart Rothersthorpe Services M1 Northbound
19:30 - Arrive Woodall Services M1 North (J30-31) Fuel Stop
19:45 - Depart Woodall Services M1 North (J30-31)
21:30 - Arrive Skipton
It's mostly motorway all the way but it's the quickest way to get there. Time will be tight on Friday so we will be leaving on the dot. If anybody is seriously interested in joining me please let me know. El Boc will be helping us sort out B&B.
Please note:
1) This is NOT to be taken as AR'06, it is a personal thing I want to do but am willing to throw it open to those that want to join in.
2) Some of the roads we will be riding over the weekend are pretty complex, it's not for the inexperienced
3) I'm happy to pick up people at any of the above stops but I'm not making any other planned stops due to time

[Peter Henry]

Steve...See you there big boy! :lol: 8)

[Anonymous]

I'm in assuming I'm not away elsewhere that time, which I should know soon. If I am here I'm definitely going (for definite :lol: )

[Scoobs]

I'm a maybe. It will be a long ride from Portsmouth. I'll have a think.

[Jelster]

I'll have a think.

Just make sure you're sitting down when you do that won't you... :lol:

.

[fizzwheel]

Possibly....

It would be good to explore some new tarmac, I'll have a chat with Liz and see what she thinks

Scoobs, if Liz and I go if you wanna you can ride up with me and Liz, well Liz because I'll never keep up :lol:

[Cronos]

I could well be interested in an trip from the north in a sort of pincer movement attack. Any other takers?

[Scoobs]

I'll have a think.

Just make sure you're sitting down when you do that won't you... :lol:

.

Cheeky fecker :lol: :lol:

Scoobs, if Liz and I go if you wanna you can ride up with me and Liz.

Aye! That would be grand

[jonboy]

This does look interesting, I shall pay close attention.


.

[mattSV]

Scoobs - I'll see if I can get a weekend pass without MrsMatt if you like - we could meet Fizz & Liz on the A34 somewhere (Cheively Services?) at say 16:00 and then meet Steve at Cherwell (that would give us plenty of time for some food at Cherwell - wonder if they do cheesy chips :D )

[Jelster]

I was planning on a quick "chow session" at Cherwell myself.

Greg, I sort of planned the route via Rothersthorpe with you in mind... Should be easy for you to come in on the A14, (I think...)


Edit... Look at the map Jelster you tuit... A45 ???

.

[Richie]

See you there or if not I won't be in the UK...

[Amanda M]

I might put in an appearance. To early to say for definate but it's a local rideout for me should be able to meet up with folks somewhere on the route.

Greg you would I am sure be more than welcome and we would indeed be honoured to have your company. There will be plenty of pies and peas for everyone!(Although El Boc has not yet figured out how to stop the mushy peas slipping through the grille of the barbie! Maybe he is going to skewer them! :lol: :lol: )

Mrs.MCG.

If you do not show at some point I will be devastated! :wink:

:oops: :shock: :lol:

[El Saxo]

Count me as a maybe.

I definitely like the sound of this one and would hopefully stay in Skipton on the Sat' night for the bbq / a few beers.

Just need to check work commitments etc first.

Steve there aint no need to exclude people , we can cater for all skill levels, as long as those that feel they are a little slower can read a map and get to key points there is no problem. we have run many multi leveled rides with good success rates.

I agree some of the route is challenging and not for the faint of heart , but then again some of it will be boringly slow (probably the kirkstone pass , Summer tourists in 4x4's etc) so plenty of time to catch up with the faster guys n girls.

we do make good shepherds up her tha nos.

[Moo]

I'm a maybe depending on date etc....
Being in the middle I would be up for just a saturday ride out.

[mattSV]

I'm in 8)

[Stig]

According to the 2006 Annual Rideout, I think June was thought of as a possibility. Just thought you'd like to know.

[Anonymous]

I haven't finally decided yet but depending on the numbers, we might do something like this: http://www.dalesbridge.co.uk/

There are other, similar places around but this one will serve to give you all some idea of what you are in for!

(BBQ-wise, my ferret and my buzzard have already started collecting road-kill...)

[timwilky]

Oh goody, playing out time again.

Hey Mr Ape! After all we've been through together ( :lol: :lol: ) I really do NOT want to interfere with that. No way!! We can do all this in July if needs be....temperature in the North will be in the high 20s by then (that's Fahrenheit by the way :? ).

Appreciate that Si, hence my comment at the start of the thread. We have a whole summer to play with so I can't see why the two cannot be fitted in. I don't want to drive a wedge in anywhere, and as I stated, this is something I intended to do anyway. The whole point of an organised ride is getting a date fixed so that everybody can work with it (or around it).

[Mr Toad]

'tis a possibility, but only if it doesn't rain :D

. . . and a few other minor details :roll:

[hall13uk]

hell yes i am a defo, if thats ok jelster :?:

Fancy being a guide for our Sunday trip to your parts ?

[hall13uk]

any idea on cost, for the trip there & back :?: , i will be leaving from south london

[Peter Henry]

Tim....You better plan ahead to visit your Doc. Your going to need a course of injections as we will be going over the other side of those hills in to u know where land! :? :lol:

[Scoobs]

any idea on cost, for the trip there & back :?: , i will be leaving from south london

I reckon it's going to be about £60 in petrol alone. Depending on whether you camp or B&B it will be between £4 and £25 per night (based on Mr Boc's website), plus food and drink, so £500 cos I'm a rock hard southern shandy drinker.

[falc]

Make mine a half Scoobs :lol:

Sounds interesting this does, should be up for it, got to go just to see Scoobs ponce around on his blade :D

[Tara]

Make mine a half Scoobs :lol:

I guess you'll be staying at mine hun so it won't got you owt in B &B or food.

and if you are staying at mine I guess you can def count me in

[falc]

Yer def. hun we'll be going together :kiss:

[Scoobs]

I guess you'll be staying at mine

Thanks for the offer T. Get a room ready for me and MattSV (separate of course because I am all man).

Oh and Falc, it is a 600 not a blade. :wink:

[falc]

Cheeky Scoobs, I hope you and Matt get the honeymoon suite at the B&B :D

Si, in Jelster's defence the idea of him infiltrating northern territory came during a little light hearted banter between himself,El Boc and I on The Pennine Massive a little while ago.

Steve did indicate that despite his misgivinga about us northern Oiks, he did fancy checking out some of our roads. It was a personal thing with him but he has been good enough to throw it open to everyone to join in.

Since the initial seed was planted the whole idea has taken off well and the logistics have been worked on at pace by a number of people.

It is going to be great to see so many peeps especially any of our suvvern bro's and sisters that travel up. But having said that even if Steve had kept it to himself I think the Three Musketeers would have still got out there and had a ball. :wink:

[Peter Henry]

There are so many couples joining in that perhaps this thread should be retitled "The Love boat rideout!" :D Us unattached chaps will try not to be too raucous so as to prevent embarassment! :wink: 8)

[timwilky]

Been a regular visitor on raiding parties. Cattle are few and far between and they seem to guard their sheep better than their women for some reason.

Remember I also modeled the tasteful wet weather gear on El Bocs catherine wheel ride.

I mentioned this jolly day out to the memsahib last night. Whilst I have playing out rights. She seems to think she should accompany me, NFC. But assumming I am staying out and socialising I am suggesting that she stay at base camp and ensure beer is cold and El Bocs roadkill warm for our return.

[amarko5]

[Peter Henry]

Pah....Moaning about a few miles in the saddle Viney?! Some of us have got to go through far more punishing things to be able to attend!

Recover from jet lag.

Get used to Old Blighty grub again!

Re learn how to ride a left hand drive bike.

Try not to embarass too many of the suv peeps when launching in to the bends on my borrowed C90! :lol:

[Jelster]

Re learn how to ride a left hand drive bike.

Funny that, I thought you already had a "left hand drive" bike... Unless it was imported from the UK :lol:

.

[Peter Henry]

Jelster I guess your right...I meant left hand as in the side of the road I will have to use when with you guys! :?

[amarko5]

Jelster I guess your right...I meant left hand as in the side of the road I will have to use when with you guys! :?

if it's clear up on hartside feel free to use the other side as much as you want Peter :lol: I do frequently :shock: :D

[Peter Henry]

Mark..I could be tempted but I dont want to abuse the privilege afforded me by a very kind gent of a loan of his bike! :wink: :)

[_Stretchie_]

I am a Northern Monkey (and the remark about the weather up there is spot on). But being a Northerner I am resilient (but I can't spell),
you can BBQ in any weather as long as you have an umbrella, so bring some change so everyone can chip in for a few throw away BBQ's from Tesco's and some burgers.

Cat N Fiddle is a great road, only done it once with the guys from my Thundercat site and Matlock is also some good riding. I think you guys would all enjoy it.

[El Saxo]

I'm now a definite for this. :D

I'm coming if I am here (which I wont know for ages) and I'll camp somewhere nearby where everyones staying.

or was that an error :lol: (or perhaps your just antisocial :P :P :P )

[Last Action Pimp]

i am up for it, i get de-restricted the week before!! yay :D

[Cloggsy]

Assuming (never assume, because it makes an Ass out of u and me!) I have a bike by then... This will be my AR06 as I can't attend that this year (the dates don't tally up with shifts & missus' birthday etc :roll:)

[Topcat]

Unfortunately , I won't be able to go as it's Snetterton BSB weekend , one of my favourite's , and a couple of my good friends from London have moved to Norfolk so i'm going to make a whole weekend of it .

[Anonymous]

Righto chaps, listen in (ie, read) carefully:

This ride-out has developed a major life of its own and irrespective of AR06, SVRide North, the Ace Cafe Drum Majorettes Harley Davidson Knicker Showing Contest, and the arrival of the next Messiah, it looks rather likely to happen.

My chum Amarko has done amazing work on sorting out the route but, with something like 40 persons probably attending, accommodation is likely to be the stumbling block.

SO: it's time to start converting Good Intentions into Firm Commitment. Irrespective of your previous posts on this or any other thread, you must now do one of two things:
If you are intending to join us and require accommodation, either: pm me with details of your need (that is, how many of you, for which nights, single/twin/shared/double/camp) or post details on the Pennine Massive thread "South comes North etc". Note that I WILL be asking for a deposit in fairly short order to guarantee your bed.

That Pennine Massive thread now contains extensive route details, and Amarko and I will use it as the main "gathering" place.

If you DO NOT need accommodation, it is NOT essential to do that: the ride will be open to all. Note however that a BBQ is still planned for the Saturday night and, with various gifted musicians attending, perhaps a jamming session (as we old geezers might say). The night will be light as it's nearly mid-summer (in Yorkshire terms: all Polar bears emigrated, some leaves on trees, mild frost at night, heated underwear turned down to low).

Finally, it's not impossible that we will have overseas riders attending as I know Peter "veetwin" Henry is trying to get Morgasm, his new best friend from svrider.com, to come over......

(That last bit is a joke....all the rest is serious)

Thanks.

[Jelster]

I would like to reitterate a couple of things from my original "invitation".

I'm quite happy to ride up as a bigish group BUT I do want make everybody that is considering comming aware of what's expected, especially on the Friday night.

Friday Night

The motorways will be quite busy as we're leaving during the "rush hour" therefore:
We will be filtering whenever safe to do so, if you're joining us, you will be expected to do the same.

We will be keeping to the departure times, if you're not there we can't wait.

You will be expected to have enough fuel fuel to get to the next petrol stop.

The pace will be "brisk" as I don't want to get the B&B too late.
Saturday

Our friends in the North are organising a run on the Saturday. I'm leaving the route and the pace to them. I'm sure it will be good, as long as they remember that us Southerner's like to stop for a Cafe Latte every so often.

There is the possibility of a bit of a do on Saturday evening, which is great. Just remember that we have another ride planned for Sunday, it would be a shame to miss it because you over did it the night before :roll:

Sunday

I haven't yet worked out a departure time but it's unlikely to be later than 10am. The route will probably take us through the Peak District National Park, from Holme on the A6024, past Torside resovoir and into Glossop. From there the A537 to Buxton, stopping at the Cat & Fiddle, then onto Matlock Bath on the A6/B5056.

From there we'll look at the time and weather, and decide on a route back South.

General
Some of the roads we will be doing on both Saturday and Sunday are quite technical, so it's not for the inexperienced. (The cat & Fiddle run is said to be the most dangerous biking road in the country. I've never done it so I don't know, but it has a reputation.) I imagine the roads up at Hartside are just as technical.

Travel light, it's only 2 nights. The top you use for Saturday evening should be fine for Sunday - we're all friends here. I may not even take a tailpack, just a rucksack.

Maybe wise to "buddy up" so if anything does happen (puntures etc) you have somebody with you.

------------------------------

I'm not trying to put people off or trying to sound "big", but the last thing we need, is somebody not keeping up with the pace on Friday, or having a problem with the distances.

Friday evening is a 225 mile ride from J2 of the M40, 180 miles (and 3 1/2 hours) from Cherwell services. For the guys from the South coast it's even further.

If anybody who is going has a bike to bike system communications system can you let me know, as I'll make sure we can get the radios on the same frequency/channel.

I'm sure we'll all have a good time, as long as we all think about each other

Steve have faith in your Southern kin! I am sure you will make it for your breakfast on saturday morning! :wink:

I think the boys and girls travelling up should consider that the roads we will be riding will indeed at times be quite testing. However the severity of the test is governed by your own right wrist with the gas. We are doing things so that no-one gets over looked and should not get stranded if they back off the pace,for too long.


Basically get your asses up there and let's go have some fun! :D

I just want to get up there and not hang about on the busy roads. I think what I am trying to say is that if you don't like filtering on motorways, then maybe you should leave earlier, and we'll meet you up there....

Well it is a while away yet. So who knows. People are asking for firm commitments about going. I most certaintly can't give any sort of commitment. I have asked and the answer was no.

I shall work on those Brownie points as it looks like I will need them. Sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.

If in the end I do get to go, I can always ad-hoc it with regards to sleeping arrangements etc etc. :thumbsup:

I have actually been up the cat & fiddle before, quite some time ago, and it was superb. Would love to do it again. Probably at a much slower pace than of old. :lol: :lol:

Oh and for the record, I'm definitely going up for the weekend, (so that's me and my two birds :wink:) but have to combine a wedding anniversary :shock: so a suitably sensitive approach (creeping!) is called for :)

[Jelster]

Leigh,

Will be nice to see you and the Mrs out on the 'Bird...

S'all gone a bit quiet.

Have I missed something? Have hotels, B&B's, doss houses, brothels etc been reserved?

Do I need to hand over any cash to anyone (El Boc in particular).

BUGGER!

Don't know how I missed this thread ](*,)

My relations are in Gargrave, just up the road from Skipton and it would have been a good excuse to spend a couple of hours with them in between riding the Dales etc.

Unfortunately I already have something planned for that weekend #-o

Ah well, maybe next time.

[Jelster]

I was trying to work out who/what we've got...

I've confirmed that at least 2 of my mates will be with me for this....

So, West London Crowd:
Jelster - CBR954RR
Mate 1 - Peter - Hayabusa
Mate 2 - Taran - Speed Triple
Nick - GSXR600
AlanSV - SV1000S
(Possibly Topcat - CBR954RR)
(Possibly Rubberduckofdeath - ZX6)

We're a bit short of SV's at this point !! :shock:

The South Coast Mob:
Fizzwheel - GSXR750
Scoobs - CBR600RR
MattSV - SV1000S
Liz - SV650
Carsick SV650S

Others & possibles:
Jonboy
Hall13UK
Dr Rich
XVS2005
Baldyman + "Bird"

It's getting to be quite a group....... I guess there's quite a few "maybe's" too....

If anybody is seriously considering this, and is travelling up from the South, can you make yourselves known.

[Anonymous]

IMPORTANT

I am otherwise engaged from now until the end of April. When I return, I will be finalising the accommodation for the ride-out on w/e of 17th June. Amarko will need these details to finalise his routes.

So:

BY 12.00 noon, SUNDAY 30 April, PM either me or Jelster to confirm your overnight needs. (Steve - forward them to me please).

This means rooms/camping/beds/numbers/special needs etc etc. If you DON'T need accomodation, DON'T PM me.

That vid is so old.... That was somewhere in the region of Boxhill I believe...

And no, we will all be staying rubber side down, shiney side up (well, depending on how much beer is consumed on the Saturday evening, I could well be horizontal by 10pm....)
