I'm in Ingleby Barwick near Stockton-On-Tees, from your profile are you near Nantwich.

I'm happy to look at a meeting place etc., the date would be the key thing, let me know & I'll do the rest if you would like me to.

How about the National Coal Mining Museum on the A642 between Huddersfield & Wakefield. Could head south from there and do a circular route in the Peak District.

I'll be there in the morning guys, but might have to cut short later, as my Dad is in Royal Blackburn and need to get back for visiting! 👍

I think it's safe enough to say, "I'll be there".

Is that the 18th of April or May, a new thread would avoid any confusion, I'm always interested in a meet up/ride out.

A new thread would be a good idea - post #46 mentioned 13/14 May, so that's what I was responding to (MotoGP at Jerez is on Sunday 7th May).

Well what a cracking day for the meet up, there might have been only 3 of us, and a little chilly to start the ride out to the Meeting point A59 cafe near Bolton Abbey.
Quick thanks to David and Simbo for turning up, I must admit I was envious of your breakfast baps, looked good value as well. We did a little ride out to Kettlewell for a light lunch, but Simbo demolished to cream scones 😄
Onwards over to Hawes for a quick toilet stop, over to Ribblehead viaduct and Horton in Ribblesdale before a coffee stop in Settle!
Sorry I had to do a quick exit to get to Blackburn, but enjoyed the ride and thanks for your company 👍
