South Goes North Weekend 17/18 June

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

Steve...See you there big boy!

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 )

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

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

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

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 )
