could even be the dales,or the peak district is pretty central for most folk

would interested in something as with most I guess depending on dates and venues etc, love cornwall, devon, wales, Yorkshire but no less about north of Birmingham (yes I know Yorkshire is North of Birmingham).

Nice idea, Like that.

Thinking something like XT660 Tour of Britain. There's a nice loop that brings in England, Scotland, NI, Ireland and Wales, folk could join and leave the tour as they wished ?

Keep the idea coming, we'll collate them and have a poll later

im up for a long weekend type whereby I take off thurs fri or fri mon.

My only issue at the moment is dates as I'm already away to the IOM TT in the first week of June so 2 weekends if not more as I'll need weekends either side to pack/unpack.

Destination I'm easy, id prefer to stay in the one place if possible as it makes it easier and stops issues of packing up wet stuffs if it rains (rain what's that). My general idea day 1 ride to venue and tent up, day2 ride about with all, day3 ride about with all, day 4 pack up go home.

W. T. ffffffff ??

You big girl. Even my wife doesn't take that long to pack :)

Some good ideas here. I too particularly like the 'grand tour' concept - something a little different from the norm.

We did loosely talk about a Norfolk-based long weekend round the campfire in Kent, which I would still like to do. However, 2017 looks like a chaotic year for me and I'll be in the US for much of the late spring/early summer - the traditional times when we'd do an XT meet. I will definitely do a 'Norfolk n Good' weekend in 2018. But that doesn't really help with this year...

Getting slower in my old age!!

Well this thread has died a death pretty rapidly. Just shows how enthusiastic you lot are.
I have already got the Dragon, Thumper club meet and a week over to Norniron coming back through South Wales so not that fussed.
Ps I don't see many Xt660.com members at the Dragon.
Now we've done the Lakes and North Wales so now I suggest South Wales, Northumberland, Dartmoor area, Norfolk or Scotland. Midlands?
Now I know some of you do not travel far but there has to be some give and take. There will always be a time or place which will not suit everybody.
By the way my last trip was to the ABR meet at Bideford 300 miles there. Only two other Tens there!
So we need to decide on a date then a location.
We are running out of time fast to get a good site.
Ps yes this is me, Steve, I organise lots of meets.
I have even organised meets for Xt660.com!

Although I've suggested a 'road trip'..... ( and I still think that would be brilliant fun!) at the end of the day I'm open to anything . It would be good to fix a date......Steve

In the scheme of things, I find tours much more interesting than rocking up and staying in one place.
In 2015 we rode the coastline of Scotland as far as Skye (anticlockwise), camping each night. Yes we had a particular crappy night in Ullapool, but the trip was awesome.
Last year we picked up the route at Ardnamurchan Point, and to our surprise, there was another XT there. Had a lovely little convoy running over many miles of twisty single track road. We then headed over to Mull, the down to the Mull of Kintyre. Again, all camping and it was ace.
even my wife as a pillion prefers to tour (granted it's on the GS not the XT), so this Easter we'll be heading back up to Skye via Oban, returning via Campbeltown on some roads that we've not traveled.
In the summer I'll be heading for some European action, though to where I do not know, and won't until I roll off the Ferry. Alone and in a foreign place.... brilliant.

The older I get, the less I want to sit in a field drinking... much rather be exploring.
