Right just for clarity, I'll be staying the Thursday night at Rimington (near Gisburn/Barnoldswick), my plan is to grab breakfast at the monor cafe (
http://www.manor-cafe.co.uk/), they open at 9am, so probably aim at 10 to leave at 11, about 140 miles to site, a leisurely ride up to Richmond and then up to Barnards castle, from there a play on the B 6278 until it joins the A68 for the last few miles, should get me to site to site around 3pm or so depending on stops.
Anyone want to join me feel free, drop me a pm and we'll exchange number, if not, no worries I'll enjoy myself as I normally do...
