Thumbs up Top trip

Glad to hear youre home safe and well bear.

I would like to add my thanks to Darren also for organising a great weekend, and to everyone who turned up and contributed to the great atmosphere.

And to mr steve (spare one ) d who helped everyone including myself all weekend, Not so sure there was any need to traumatise Darren the way you did tho?

Already looking forward to the next one?????????????????????

A GREAT weekend in the Lakes!
Great company and great location witrh superb scenery and rideouts.

Thanks Darren for all your hard work.
Nice to put faces to names.

Specially StevieD, Stumpy Dave, Crusty...., Bear, Monotacio(hope you got back oK?), Graham(sorry I left you on the M6 southbound but just steamed on!), Uberthumper, Triple Tom, SelinaXT plus anyone else I met but can't at this time remember their names.

I look forward to seeing all the pictures/video.

Got home about 2-3pm after a nice run back - well, riding over Shap Fell on the A6 in gale-driven rain wearing an off-road lid and goggles wasn't so much fun. After that though I managed to wind my way back to Derbyshire on mostly tiny roads, apart from the bit from Keighley to Huddersfield, which there didn't seem to be a practical way of avoiding.

Oh, and it's nice and sunny down here. Who's bright idea, etc.

Cheers Darren for organising and everyone else for the laughs.

THINK SHE MAY HAVE A FIGHT ON HER HANDS, STEVED HASNT DONE ALL THAT GROOMING FOR NOWT!!!!!!

Nice to meet some new faces, and catch up with some old. I got back home a little before 10pm on the friday night. Not the weekend I had planned but if I catch up with you all again I can bore you about the poor state of my internals.
Darren, cheers for organising it, I enjoyed the two trails I did. Dave, cheers for the ride buddy up.
Catch you again soon hopefully.

Got back safe and sound. A great weekend despite the weather. The Crusty/Dalby Gheeto worked well and was used a lot. Darren you are a peeing Tom!
Really great to put faces to names and despite all the mickey taking I will be back for more.

A BIG up for the crowd.

More of the above, great weekend dispite the sh$t weather. I can only imagine that what Darren saw in Steve`s tent was meant for Harrys eyes only. Apparently i am fully trained up on the camping, trail riding front so Steve has moved onto fresh pastures.... Harry BEWARE!!!! Let the grooming begin.
Onanist, blue ballons and a small LED in them mate.....LOL

As everyone has said, it was a fantastic weekend, and the weather made it that bit more special! Thanks to eveyone for making it what it was, and a massive thanks to Darren to organising it all.....top bloke!

These pictures sum up most of my memories of the last 72 hours:























This one is part of mine and Smoggs' journey home on the M6:


I racked up about 850 miles over the weekend from leaving home and returning, how did you all do?

Thanks to motonacio and uberthumper for helping with my chain.

Thanks to steveD, who put up with lots of ****, but is a really nice, friendly, and helpful guy who took me under his wing and taught me lots! I didn't know how lumpwood charcoal was made before this weekend, I do now! He also taught me things about other types of wood, although he said that's to stay our little secret!


JOKING OF COURSE, THE RUMOURS ARE NOT TRUE!

"4. This weekend has given me great hope for the youth of today, really a fantastic pleasure to meet Hazza2805, wanting to learn, up for fun and Selina wants to adopt you " Pleasure to meet you too, I had a great laugh! If Selina adopts me how much pocket money will I get? Or petrol money shall I say? Perhaps I could just use here own tricks against her, and siphon fuel out of her x into mine?

I hope I am free for next year's meet, that is if you will all have me back!?!

Cheers guys....and girl!

Harry
