Grrrrrrr
I can't make it this time which I'm a bit gutted about. Bike and car playing up at the same time with MOT hassles:(
Next time... Kencandig, there's an Edinburgh list on the HUBB communities section, get yourself on there and you'll hear about our pub meets and so forth. There was talk of another travelling mini meet some time ago, the Borders were mentioned. |

Well, it was a windy ride back, and there was a fair coating of filth and mud but the XTZ and my gear is now washed and awaiting another outing
Thanks to everyone for being such super company, and especial thanks to the guys that lead and tailended the Saturday ride and looked after us all so well :thumbup1: here's a pic of Ingleborogh with the sun trying to get through, 1 minute after I took the pic, I was bombarded with stinging hailstones, some of which where bouncing around inside my helmet :helpsmilie: [img]BMW K Series Owners Club[/img] |
The start of the trails

Lucky we had planned a stop in Kettlewell to meet some of the others
Here it was noticed that one of the bike's had lost it's sump plug losing all it's oil. Thankfully Bill Willkinson at the garage was on form and made a new plug in no time. :thumbup1: http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1172.jpg Nick Happy with the DR he just bought form Chris Bright. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1173.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1174.jpg |
The next trail has a bit of a Bog in it,so some team work was required to get the outfit across.

A few Miles later and we need to do a repair.
Between everyone we had the tool's and parts required to get it fixed and on our way in no time http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1195.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1196.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1194.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1192.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1193.jpg |
After a stop in Masham for dinner.it was on to
The hill climb which looks easy...but it was very very slippy :oops2: http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1197.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1198.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1199.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1200.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1201.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1202.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1203.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1204.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1205.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1208.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1209.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1210.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1211.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1212.jpg Basil had the sheep running for cover :rofl: http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...w/DSCF1214.jpg All at the top http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...DSCF1216-1.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...DSCF1217-1.jpg We then had to turn around and go back down :innocent: sorry but I hope the view was worth it . We then took the back roads to the camp site. Thanks to all who came on the ride out .it was a pleasure meeting new and old face's. Hope to see you at the Summer meet in Ripley...if not before. safe fun riding Dazzer |
What a superb weekend! Location, Company, Rideout, even the weather was reasonably kind to us, all absolutly great.
Thanks to all who must have put in a lot of effort to get all together and a special thanks to Dazzer for the reasonably easy but still spectacular off-road rideout and the great pics! See you all at Ripley if not before !!! |
Many thanks
Home after a cold ride back yesterday, Beej and I encountered sleet, serious side winds, and snow! But also some cake, which made things better.
Thanks to all for a great weekend, but especially to Debs for organising, Dazzer for a fantastic ride out, Basil for picking me up (lots!), and Neil for getting the TA down the last hill for me when I had the keys in my pocket... Hope the V-Strom that passed us on a trailer on the M6 is now OK - next time can you get them to come on a bigger truck so we can hitch a lift!!! Hope to see you all again soon! Laura |
