Anyone up for a Wild Camp
 

Would anyone be interested in a weekend's Wild camping .

The hidden valley {as I call it} is a great place to spend the night
next to a small stream with plenty of room to camp

You would need to bring everything with you that you wanted to eat and DRINK :thumbup1: for the weekend
.

we can make a fire unlike most camp site's.

The nearest shop's and pub's are only 4 mile's away :scooter:

easy to access , 20 minutes east after leaving jct 36 of the M6.

Chris

Depending on dates I would be up for this one Jake

Would be interested, subject to date.....

Couldn't help but notice the amount of people local to me (in West Yorkshire). Maybe a local meet could be arranged too - how about Squires at Sherburn???

As the weather is on the up I'll be going most weekends. I'll be easily spotted on my '84 Tenere.

Tom

Hi Dazza, could you mail the location to me please, I will be away Knocking around In Greece with my kids , but I get back the Friday b4 the camping weekend so I can get down sometime on the Saturday afternoon.

Im the lad that you helped with the yellow gs ( turned out the noise was a loose plate in the downpipes ; only found this out after a major stripdown to check camchains,guides,tensioners,valve and rocker float gaps ; ahh !)

:oops2:
Never mind , I would have found another excuse to take it to bits anyhow .

Cheers

Clive

phooee.

Am with the band, playing a couple of gigs in germany.

next time, have a beer for me.

Well I guess I could bring a guitar...only problem is I can't play the damn thing!:D

Such beautiful landscape... that many would love to have on their doorstep ...until careless people do this to it....
it really makes me really sad to see this...
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub....jpg%5B/IMG%5D

sounds great to me
 

Hi there I would love to meet up if thats ok? I would be riding up from Wirral with my GF on the back of me transalp and alongside Ted Magnum. The ride to keighly to turn back to get to the lakes is the wrong way around for me I would prefer to go straight there if you can give me or ted directions?
Sounds great i have my hip flask full!!

Bert, the grass will grow back, eventually. It's the green nutters who want to put these in the lakes you should be worried about.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...farm_4_hnd.jpg

Bring it anyway...we can use it for fire wood :innocent:

Not sure who had the big fire

But many people wild camp here and you will be pressed to find any litter left behind.

If I were passing through on my own then I would have made my fire at the edge of the stream.

This meeting is about getting away from it all... { Moaning included }

our fire will be on the site of one thats already been used.

when we leave you wont know we have been there .
:mchappy:

Dazzer

PS

I will be pming everyone soon with the location.All we need hope for now is some good weather . :rockon:

I'll make this. Whats the roads/tracks leading to the location like. Tourance friendly or more tkc territory (on a 1150 so its heavy :( )

Looking at the pics in post #1, the road is paved, so any rubber will do (or whatever you prefer for single lane roads). You won't need anything special to ride the 20 yards across the grass.

See you there,
Chris

Oh yeah

I missed that large paved road. Thought it might be more at the end of the farmers track/green lane :)

Note to self look at the photos harder next time :(

Pm's sent with map of site, please let me know if you have not received it :thumbup1:

received
 

Hi Dazzer thanks for the PM with the map. I cant pm back I have not made enough posts!!

oh yes...!!
 

Hi there, there's probably 3 of us that will want a slice of that if the situation isnt getting a tad crowded, call it preperation for what We have in mind for a later date..!! :thumbup1:

Maybe?
 

Hi there,

Been in touch with Jake who mensioned this... I may be able to come down for this... just not 100% yet! Can you let me know the details on the hope that it's a yes!

Beej

Beej I have pm you the details Jake

Thank You
 

Thanks Jake...

I'll let everyone know nearer the time if I'm a definate or not...
I hope to beable to make it...
Would quite like some Tipi guidance! :biggrin3:

I dont know if i can make it or not.. I would love to.. but right now i have now wheels (hubbs and tyres yes... rims and spokes no :-( ...) ... but if i could pleas ehave the map PM'd that would be great and if i can sort my bike by then i would love to come along... Cheers
Xander

cheers dazza, got the map , no worries, b down on the sat some time, might be going down with jake , may try to convert panniers into mobile homebrew kits.:thumbup1:

Sounds grand!
 

Hi Dazzer!
Hope you don't mind if I join you on this one? Might be a good chance to try out my newly aquired TTR 250 Raid?
Be good to catch up with Jake and Brighty again & hopefully some other friendly faces!
Cheers
Col

No Problem....map pm on it's way :welcome:

Dazzer

Can you PM me the details - I'm coming down but will probably not be at Hawes.

Rob

Is this deffo still happening then ?????

Just thought Id check as its only a week away

Hope so it's in my book for next weekend :thumbup1:

Hope to leave on a trip to Bonnie either tomorrow or sunday will see u all next sat if all goes to plan, if not ill let u know what happened

thanks ROB

Dazzer looks like I might be out of this one now the Bilge pump has just had the drive shaft throw in the towel - I have it stripped ready to go back together but am waiting on the exchange shaft and doubt it will get here before next friday (coming from Germany) If it does get here I will have it all together in a few hours and will come down but we will see. Its all down to Mr DHL now.

GPS Co-ordinates
 

EDITED AS REQUESTED

If anyone needs the rough GPS co-ordinates of the place, please send me a PM..

Sorry Dazzer, I didnt realise there was a problem with the other type of travellers up there.

Apologies

Ted

Managed to get a lend of a triumph tiger if the bilge is still poorly - so i will be there but on a borrowed bike so no off roadie bits for me unless bilge is better. see you all there.

Ted
The reason why I pm'ed everyone with the location map was not to make it public on the internet :oops2:.


It's best to do these things without the whole world knowing that they will be a load of bike's parked up all night :(





Some of us will be meeting up at the McDonalds car park in Keighley ,
There is also a Filling station here with mini market if anyone needs to stock up with anything.

we are Looking at leaving here at 8.30 , We will then be riding the B roads up to Hawes and should arrive here at about 10.30 for a breakfast stop.

The Camp site is only half a hour's ride away so we should hope to arrive at about mid day.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for good weather.

ps

A friend as offered the use of Marquee which is set up at a camp site in Dent..if the weather is bad we could aways move to this location if need be.

Told U them BMs can't be trusted...
 

Hey up Jake - hope you can make it, sorry to hear of the failure.. if you get stuck then borrow a car, and use one of mine... god sound dead rich! Might be selling the Bullet tomorrow, but still have the KTM & TTR, so can only ride one can't I?
Here if you need one of 'em anyway?
Cheers
Col

My son is going to come up for the night.

he will be in his car so he will bring a wood burner { which is good to use as a BBQ} and some wood.

Hope he as room for the beer :thumbup1:

Weather forcast so far say's it's going to be good weather next weekend .

Looks like me co. will be going up Friday night.

We'l be there at about 7.30-8pm.

The weather forcast is looking very good for us :thumbup1:

Don't forget your Beer...and a bit of wood for the fire :innocent:

that will save us having to cut the only tree down :eek3: { joke }


Looking forward to meet you all.

stay safe

Dazzer

Met Office: North West England: forecast weather

Yer... its looking good.

There will be 3 of us there on Friday night from about 8.30pm (if we find it).

No room for wood im afraid....

Forgot to ask.. Is there anywhere close to get fresh water and milk etc ??

Hi Ted,

I should think the best place to get supply's, if your getting there after 6 depending on which way you are coming, there is a petrol station/minimarket in ingleton on the A65, or if your coming from the west on the A65 about a mile before you reach kirby lonsdale there is another petrol station/minimarket on the right.

If you in the area before 6 there are plenty of shops in kirby lonsdale or in dent.

See you saturday,

Dazzer

Ted, I got a bottle of Jack, some steaks and a couple of disposable barbies. Nowhere to put the tent or any other gear though. Is any one bringing a spade to dig a latrine, think my missus is wary about pooing in the bushes!!!
see you in a few hours.......
Vroom Vroom.
BTW does any one know where the hard knot and wry nose passes are?

From the campsite go back to Kirkby and follow the signs for Windermere. Then a little further to Ambleside and the Wrynose starts near there. If you want a good run along them get up early. It's a sunny weekend in the lakes, it'll be packed with Honda civics driven by people who remember rationing!

Work calls!
 

Hi there,

I won't be able to make it down this weekend as I have to work on Sunday... Boo Hoo... :thumbdown:

I was really looking forward to it too...

Beej

See you all around 10/11 saturday :scooter:

Bilge is fixed wont get there till mid afternoon as the northern contingent are green laning our way down so leave some space for our tents see you there Jake.

Jake - thanks for the hospitality on the journey down - you all know how to contact me if you're up north.

Ian / Debs et all, enjoyed the green lanes !!!

Debs - thanks for "phoning home"

Rob

Great weekend. Thanks to Dazzer for organising everything.
Here are a few pics. See you at Ripley,
cheers

Mucho Thanks!!
 

Hi Dazzer, many thanks for all your efforts organising the weekend. It was grand and very good to meet some old faces again and some make some new aquaintences, good company to be in! The weather and the location were spot on. Thanks also to Ian for leading us boldy down some nice trails, shame some are shut... wasn't like that in Spain on the HUMM last summer...
Got some pix in the camera, will have to make all the images a bit smaller before up-loading though, or I'll be here forever.
Cheers to all
Col:clap:

To Dazza and everyone who was involved in setting this up and especially thanks to Steve for looking after me my other half and Ted Magnum over the weekend. Here is a link to some of the photos I took about the event
Yorkshire dales 09
and here is a link to my blog entry about it
Froth and Flames » 2009 » June
Once again many thanks, I cannot wait for the next one.

Looks like a top event...pity I missed it.

Did you get permission from the land owner, or was it a proper "Wild" camp??

Cheers
