Fingers crossed for good weather - hopefully see you there

If it's not that far from Matlock to Bassets Pole, I could always meet at Bassets Pole, tag along, then when you lot double back, I just continue on home. Obviously depends on time & how good the roads are, but still.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it, Tamworth. 3hours ride ish. Not bad, depends on the time to meet, I don't fancy setting off much before 6am

Bassets Pole is just North of Sutton Coldfield on roundabout of A38/A453/A446 - Coming from Wales you can follow the A5 from M6 J12 then follow A38 to Bassets Pole. It's on your way to the E Mids.

EDIT - Sorry , missed your EDIT

Bassets Pole to Matlock about 50 miles through country roads

Cheers Keith

Whoever's organising it (by that I mean keeping a list of those attending, meeting place, time etc - routes can be done by others), I reckon should stick a post up in the rideouts section. That'd probably be you then lylej

Might get some other folks that are willing to travel for the ride from outside the MIGTS area too, which would be nice.

For the North Wales ride, I did the above, and we were expecting possibly 10bikes. 7 showed up for day 1, and there were only 2 for day 2.

Should be up for this lylej, me and cuz could meet anywhere in the midlands area just keep me posted, bassetts pole is good for me so it matlock and maybe the buxton and up the cat?

If I'm not working then I'll be there

Cheers Steve

OK How about 10AM at Basset's Pole, ride to Matlock, have some lunch (fish n chips mmmmm.) Then up A6 to Buxton and up to Cat & Fiddle. Short stop there then back to Ashbourne, from where peeps can take their different routes back. If that's agreeable I don't mind doing a map.

Cheers Keith

sounds good to me.

Yep, do a map Keith. I've had a quick looksie on the map and it sounds good, and Bassets Pole is spot-on for a start point. My only prob though is I've got a prior engagement on the evening so if time does get on I'll have to peel off at some point and shoot home, probably won't come to it though.

10AM start sounds good to me. Get a shift on & I reckon I could be there for 9:30
