Piddled up idea...Ride out to Hartside then BBQ Round mine

I say if the weathers good (and I can make it) then we have a run through Middleton In Teesdale and up towards Alston and a stop at Hartside. Something different as we usually go south

Quite right, that's probably the run we'd choose starting from where we are.

If you don't mind sharing the floor in my front room with Pete there's probably a place here for you.

That'd be great, easy enough to stuff a sleeping bag, beer, wine and meat in a backpack and drop off before the ride, thanks Dan. I don't fancy meat that's been sweating under my pillion seat.

What about the other side of Hartside down to Penrith? You'd miss it if you went Alston-Hartside-Alston-Brampton...

Or do you reckon Durham-Crook-Stanhope-Westgate-Nenthead-Alston-Hartside-Melmerby-Hartside-Alston-Brampton-Greenhead-Haydon Bridge-Corbridge then A68 back down to Crook-Durham?
