Hi Dazzer,
Could you please put me on the list?

I'll be more than happy to pitch up a tent.

Also, Ace Cafe on the Sunday!

Cheers,
Derek

Had a brief drive over the dales on saturday afternoon and the snow on the hills looked very pretty - we may have more snow this & next week.
I've not been on one of these weekends before - I hope the bunkhouse is warm!
& Do most eat in the pub?

Leigh had a chat today with The landlady { Yvonne }
I can now confirm the cost per person per night in the Bunkhouse will be £12.
Please pay as you arrive.

There will be a full choice for Breakfast each morning, ie
Full English Breakfast will be £7.25.
Butties with a brew for £4.25.

Evening meal's and bar meals are available .

The camp site at the rear of the Pub is also open for those that may wish to camp .
All bikes can be parked at the rear of the Pub.

If anyone would like to join in on the ride out's on the Saturday the first ride out to leave the pub will be Basil's at 8.30am .

This Ride out will be for those that would like to do more off road.There will be more miles covered and a lot of trails.
If you would like to join this group please find Basil on friday night and let him know your riding with him.

Craig and I will each lead a ride on Saturday covering the same route as each other but leaving 15 minutes apart.

Both Craig's and Dazzer's ride will be mostly on the back roads around the Dales with a few very easy trails and all are ok for big bikes with a pillion. Anyone not wanting to do the off road bit can miss these out and re-join the group at the other end of the trail and then carry on in the group

These rides will be at a steady pace so you can enjoy the scenery. If you would like to join one of these ride's please be ready for 9am ish

We will be having a stop for lunch when both groups should meet up.

See you all soon Dazzer

I know I'm late, I'm always late, but would there be space for me to squeeze my little tent in somewhere?

I thought I would be away on my next trip by then, but I'm not going until a little later now.

Thanks,

Birdy

But dont worry.... The first sign that spring is just around the corner. Lambs in the Yorkshire Dales.

Ladies...Room 9 as been reserved for you. It has 6 bed's and is Ensuite.

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.
