Anybody mind if i'm a bit happy with my camera practising shooting bikes in action...?

Pick some nice corners to take a few times and a nice hump in the road to get some air time and that could be fun lol

Hmm... it may involve everyone waiting or possibly even turning around to do the corner/hump again etc... That's why I wonder if I'll bug anyone with such requests etc...? :P

The first place i thought of was the hairpin shortly after the C+F on the way down to Macclesfield, but we're not heading that way.

Maybe somewhere on the Snake???

It doesnt bother me if it results in some nice photos.....but I'm not organising it lol

I would prefer to just take it as it comes... I don't know the roads and have NO idea about any particular good points etc...

It may be too much of a pain the **** to try to do it on the day, I guess we'll see how it goes...

I was thinking that after a stop you could go ahead a few minutes earlier than us and wait on a corner for example.

yeah mate, I was thinking the same... the problem comes when I'm expected to be a marker for a corner as-well! I am a little distracted to keep directing bikes haha

Best thing to do is find a layby on an otherwise uninteresting bit. If you're going over the snake, try the one on the right with the butty wagon in, which is quite enclosed with trees. Its about 5 miles to the next turning

Hi chris, would be good to see you again matey

Photos en-route sound fun, however, I fear this may be a distinctly wet ride so probably not the best for those kd shots!

My +1 has backed out I think, he can't get the time off- anybody heading to matlock from brum direction? No worries if not, I'll find it (never been there but it looks easy enough!)

Cheers,
Matt

Hey mate!

I'm going to be throwing a sicky to do this run - so it better not be tipping it down! :P
