Re: Must haves and no-no's for AR11
When I first went on the recce to the site, we had a chat briefly about perhaps being able to get them to cater for breakfast before Saturdays rideout, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to go into that further...something along the lines of a brew n bacon buttie to get us started?
There are many many restaurants and eateries in Settle open until 10pm on Friday and Saturday, I'm more likely to go off with Peg and have a meal together early on, then come back and sink a bottle of whisky! I must admit, Soulkiss and Gordon did a good show for AR08. With BBQs though, there never seems to be enough to go round, as in AR09 with the hog roast, and AR07 here in Austwick. Unfortunately the site owner is not keen on a catering van, as they do catering onsite. This really does need looking into further....when the bloody weather warms up and I can get up there on a bike! Mark, I'm hoping we get one of the fields with powerpoints, if not we've already got two bunkhouses!

Re: Must haves and no-no's for AR11
A friend of my daughters is now executive chef at some place in Kirby Lonsdale, so Friday night I may be tempted to bypass the bridge butty van (Assuming it is still open) and go for some real posh nosh. But that means wife/car...
Sod it I may just end up camping after all. I guess food is a funny thing for an AR. But unless it is pub grub, I cannot see many restaurants being happy with leather clad bikers disturbing their tranquil Friday night. Did I remember right last time we were there we could not use the bar on the Saturday

I'm not sure, twas a long time ago. BUT if it was the case, its most likely because it was 'bought' for the night as a private venue. We were told that we could book the bar for a fee, if we wanted it for sole use, but I said, that was a bit mean as theres other people than ourselves camping there. As for the restaurants being funny towards bikers wanting to use their places.....they could be, but if they don't want my business I'll just go somewhere that loves the smell of my money instead
