A long weekend is probably more ideal as it gives a bit more scope for people to join,,,, the area where Mark suggests is really nice, was there last September,, but i think a bit furhter North lends itself to a few more options in terms of riding.
Good luck Dave,, quite a bit of juggling to get an event sorted.

Hi all .. this sounds good to me as I can get the boat to Holyhead and I,ll be almost there.. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img] 9th/10th or 16th/17th JULY suits but I would need the friday aswell on either to give me time to travel down , get ferry, find the place, put up tent etc... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img] maybe a few of the others will head down or up or across or what ever the case maybe for the Friday aswell
I'm already doing the German trip and my annual Aviemore pilgrimage [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif[/img] , so I'll have to give this a miss (or get a divorce [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hide.gif[/img] ). However, you'll be close enough for me to pop out and meet up for a day trip. I'll tell her I'm just popping out for a loaf [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
OK although I'm only an honorary member since TonyD took and rebuilt my bike, I'd really like to make the N Wales weekend on my new baby (Street Triple R) if allowed!
This is subject to Tony Archer getting my seat rebuild done, otherwise my lily-white ar@e wouldn't manage the mileage, also depends on accommodation details as camping won't be an option with my limited luggage options. Unless I come on the Burgman 650 instead and then I expect I'd get stoned (not that sort).
Oh, also subject to SWMBO pass yet to be agreed, can the date be set please to allow negotiations to commence - I saw 16th/17th July in initial plans to allow German contingent recovery time.

I'm doing the German trip too, but since I'm already divorced I will try to make it. It would be a ride up Friday evening, camping and back Sunday evening for me. Lived in Chester for a while so know some of the roads. I didn't have a bike then though. Had a Westfield which I sold to get back to 2 wheels.
