:confused1: I will be arriving late (hopefully not too wet) on Friday night - which camp-site is it? (Or name of pub?!)

Hi Deb's

It's the small camp site,I will post a sit map this week.

Hi Simon.
I'm leaving McDs in Keighley at 10am,taking the back roads up,so should be there for mid day,to allow time to get the marque up.

Glad you can make it

Ta for the map Dazzer,
I have stayed at that site before, back in 1965 ! bet it han't changed much, but they might serve me in the Sun inn this visit :smile3:

Jake 13 Oct 2009 09:47

Britch don't bet on being served and don't whatever you do - ask for a cup of tea ! last time we had a mini HU meet up there at the Sun inn it was not very hospitable at all, but as both the pubs are owned (so I believe) by the same bloke maybe the other one is as bad.
By the way Dazzer I am hoping to get along as I said in a previous post but may have to pull out due to other family stuff going on at the moment. It might be good to warn people that the Conder farm campsite has very few level pitches so if you arrive late you will be on a slope and the bottem edge of the field that is level near the entrance is prone to water logging if it rains heavy. I am not trying to put a damper on it just if your pre warned then you can be better prepared for the site. Hopefully see you there but its a pretty big maybe at the moment.
If I dont get there have a great time - the guy at Conder farm is a gem mind - so that makes up for the publican some way.

It'll be pretty cold at that time of year :)

Any reason to stay here and not the other site in dent which is mostly flat?

I've camped there with the guzzi club so know they're ok with bikers.

Think that weekend is the beginning of a week off work so hoping the weather will be kind - but I must remember to buy a new tent as mine broke on a recent trip in europe!

We were in there Friday & Saturday night and they were fine - mind you the place was full of the Cossack Owners Club, and the strange hats! (they had even stanger bikes :()

Anyway, don't worry about the pub, it's the guy from the farm who works there so all's well. The price of beer is a bit steep though, I'm a tight northerner though :stormy: and found £2.70 a bit on the high side...

Just don't ask to put any coal on the fire, the woman (and I'm not about to call her a maid!) bar person all but called us a bunch of whimps when we asked about another lump or two of coal - just to stop it going out!!

On Saturday Night it did get quite frosty, there's hardly any light polution and the stars are awesum.

So last up date .

I was at the camp site on Saturday .

Breakfast will be from 8.30 till 10am

if you intend to go on one of the two trail rides please try to get your breakfast early

The riders going on the B Road ride have plenty of time to get breakfast after the trail ride out's leave the site

Basil's Harder trail ride will be meeting up just out side the camp site and leaving at 9am.Please note this ride out will be for riders with good off road experience only.

Dazzer's Trail ride which does not include the harder Climbs Basil's ride is taking in. will take in a mix of B road's and trails at a steady pace.

This ride will meet up just inside the camp site and leave at 9.15am

Carig's B road ride out will be leaving the camp site at 10am and will take in some of the best B road's in this part of the Dale's

All 3 groups will meet up for Lunch in Masham.

Anyone wanting to change groups can do so here.

all the ride out's have a back rider so no one will get lost or left behind.

PS.... Basil say's the first round is on him http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/friday.gif http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/eekers.gif

here is part of the route on Basils ride out.
