I have got upto date info on the surrounding lanes post NERC bill for green laning.

However i really fancy coming up on the Ducati rather than anything off road orientated, and won't be arriving untill late afternoon on Saturday.

Grub is Up
Finally, the menu proposal has arrived.

Apparently my email provider kept bouncing them...what a pain ISPs can be!

Have a scan through and let me know what you would like to eat. PM would be great. Don't worry about remembering, I shall bring a list...

There should still be other options available, but they would make live more difficult in the kitchen and might take a little longer as they cannot pre-prepare...

The email I received from Ann and Phil today:

Dear Jens
Thanks for your email and phone call.
The Menu:

BREAKFAST
Orange juice
Grapefruit segments
Cereals
Toast
Egg, bacon, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and sausage
Tea and coffee
£4.50 per head

DINNER
Steak cassarole cooked in red wine served with potatoes and a selection of vegetables.
Home made beef lasagne served with chips, peas and salad.
Chicken curry served with rice, samosa and naan bread.
Roast chicken served with a cranberry stuffing, potatoes and a selection
of vegetables.
£6.95 per head.

All the above work well with large groups as we can prepare up front and
therefore serve all of you as quickly as possible.
For the evening with the smaller group we could also offer sirloin steaks
or gammon steaks served with chips, mushrooms, onion rings and salad.
Steak £10.00 per head and gammon £8.95 per head.
Because all the steaks are cooked to order it is not possible to cook 20
all different and to serve you all at the same time hence offering this to the smaller group only.
Vegetarian dishes available.
If your group have other ideas on what they would like to eat please ring
and we can have a chat about it.
Regards
Ann & Phil
I hope this meets with your approval.

Cheers

Jens

jens , I am back home now - had a good time in the fatherland - but missed out going to the Belgium meeting - I was so near to the border as well. Bike was due to go in for an overhaul on 13 oct have to cancel that and get down to the meeting (so it might be a little bit noisy!!). Jens what time you going down as I could meet up and travel down with you or I could get down there early in the day and meet early arrivals if your working all day. I have lost your phone number but give me a ring if you want. Jake.

Jake,
Good to hear you are safely home. I was planning to go straight from work (Chester-Le-Street way) so should get there by 5ish...Not sure when people plan to arrive and on what day.

Just hope everybody coming on the Friday will let us know, in case there are more than 10....

I'll PM you my number.

Jens

PM me with your phone. If we go for a ride on Saturday I could give you a call. Never know, might be on route...

Chicken it is....does that mean you went for the room option?

Herbert has a lot to answer for...

Well, close. Right village, but the Inn is closer to where it says Inn. What a strange coincidence. This is a map with the Pub and the field marked.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
