'Tis my ambition, given the capacity of the Burgman "boot", to arrange a portable version of the "easy chocolate trifle" one day. The complication is that some purists (like dapleb [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] ) don't like trifles' being alcoholic.. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]

Pity I couldn't make it to Bellingham. Tbh I'm concerned about my touring future at the mo - the dicky arm has been a real problem on rides recently. Anyway, the weekend is set for decent weather so I hope a good time is had by all. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img]

B***(R - fell into that one! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotflmmfao.gif[/img]

[Hawmaw]

Just got back from a fine day out in the Lakes with Hartside. There was 11 of us , 10 TDMs , a 1250 Bandit and a TRX.

The weather stayed fine and the roads around the lakes were fantastic.

All went well until the last leg from Kirkstone to Penrith. I got stuck behind a Pug 406 doing 30 and breaking for every corner. Every time there was a passing chance there was cars coming the other way. Eventualy got passed and found Chris and another couple waiting at a junction so I pulled in......then got stuck behind the same prat again ! Eventualy got passed him again only to miss the Penrith turn off cause the sign was covered by a tree. I ended up in Pooley Bridge.
By the time I turned and went back he was in front of me again.
By the time I got to Penrith I was well behind and I couldn't find the filling station. I gave up and headed home.

Sorry I didn't get to say cheerio to everyone , I hope you didn't wait around too long in Penrith.

By the time I hit Scotland the heavens opened and I got a bit wet but it didn't put the dampers on a fine run.

Cheers Hartside , without you we'd never have found our way around.

pooley bridge WAS the correct route, ya should have carried on thru the village then turned left at the roundabout at the end ... DOH ! (i did explain this on kirkstone) you musta had your earplugs in [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotflmmfao.gif[/img]

turning round must have added more thna 15 mins to your journey to penrith ,, we waited for 2 cigarettes (approx 12 mins) then decided you must have decided to shoot north up the m6.

everyone was cool about it mate and had all said goodbye on kirkstone really. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]

if its any consolation hutch managed to go missing on a straight point to point road (how i dunno yet but he caused a search party riding back and forth looking in hedgerows for about 1 1/2 hours [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]

still all safe and well hopefully waiting on danny and aircooled and afergie to report in [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]

great day and really good weather , company was as normal for carpe (reasonably well behaved and very cordial).

me and tony had a silly hoon round ullswater and an equally daft run UP hartside. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]

great day indeed and i have found another couple of roads i will revisit with more time and my decent camera for nice pics [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/badgrock.gif[/img]


did you meet afergie anywhere ?? he was waiting at southwaite

[Guest]

Cheers Hartside I had a great day but i'm well and truly shagged now. I had to turn off and missed my chance to say TaRa but had to get back for Meg. It was great to meet up with Hawman and Tony D again and oh thanks Chris for the Tshirt (vray sminky) Once again we were blessed with good sunny day but I nearly got Hypo on the way up. Think I must be getting old. Hope the guys at Bellingham stay warm and dont drink too much.

Hi lads had a cracking day out fantastic roads even though some i think were ment to be for mountain goats [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotflmmfao.gif[/img]
cheers hartside man superb tour guide you are, great to meet up with some of the lads, sorry i also got held up at
the last legg stuck behind a guy towing a boat and a line of traffic behind him [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ranting.gif[/img] , when i eventually got past and on to the faster
roads towards penrith took the wrong exit and ended up joining the m6 northbound [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img] pulled over on hard shoulder and thats when
called hartside, stopped for fuel at southwaite services and waited for hawmaw untill 6.00pm, [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/waiting.gif[/img]

still no sign after hartside phoned me back so i headed on up the road and also got fecking soaked after beatock and crawford
sections but home now totally knackered, glad everyone so far has made it home safe, almost a 400 miler day trip here are some pics.........
cheers ajfergie......

[Matlock]

Got home safe & sound, another great g2g. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img] it was good to catch up with friends and make some new ones. Thanks to Nanook for organising it all, Alan for planning the great ride out on Saturday and Andrew for cooking us breakfast each morning. Oh yes, and let's not forget to thank Paddy for bringing the soda bread. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yahoo.gif[/img]

[bondy]

Just got back home £60 pound lighter and 3 points on my licence, bugger clocked me at 90, i'd been doing 105 shortly before so a bit lucky really.
Thanks for Nanook for organising the meet and everyone else for a great G2G.
