I'm pretty open i always keep a few days and worst case i could always, (cough), need a (cough), few days off.
February 21, 20187 yr Aye, ride out is key,,,,,, the best time I had at squires was when we YOC'ers went riding around for ages and got lost. Think it was the first year. None of us cared that we were lost, we were all just messing around having fun. Back to pub then to laugh about it all,,,,,,, Great Craic it was, I tell ya! Anyway I don't mind where we go as long as it's somewhere different. Distance no prob for me, coming from London,,,, good twisty roads would be good. Went through the peaks D few years ago,,,,, seemed good at the time,,,,,,,,, and aye, I got lost

(its also my Birthday 26th)
February 21, 20187 yr I think of all the ride outs I done last year the one place that stood out from the rest was Matlock. That would make a brilliant meet place bikes from one end of town to the other plenty of places to eat and Drink really great roads, their must be camping there somewhere

February 22, 20187 yr I'm flexible with dates with it being so nearby (if we settle on the peak district). I'm not aware of any biker camping per se but I'll see what I can find. There's always my back garden
February 22, 20187 yr Moderator That's probably the only weekend I'm stuffed. Hiring a MK2 Jag for the weekend, wedding pressie for my sister (cos she is tight as) officially but it has made my parents year as dad can go crazy with pics and mum will be run about in a car 'fit for getting married in'.
February 22, 20187 yr Sounds good to me, just need a venue now 8 hours ago, drewpy said:was that the one I took you on down via velia? great area for biking and lots of things going on Yes mate I was really impressed deffo going back there sometime this year
February 22, 20187 yr Ok so if we have a date can we make a short list of venue’s then we can vote on it. First on my list is Matlock
February 22, 20187 yr This place looks good https://m.pitchup.com/campsites/England/Central/Derbyshire/Bakewell/dale-farm-rural-campsite/?type=10&type=4&type=7&#csdetail
February 23, 20187 yr I can’t fecken believe this it almost looks like we’re going to make an actual decision here that camp looks good, we’ll have to check if they’re biker friendly and if pubs in walking distance Shit I just remembered I still haven’t told mrs XS I’m off to classic TT yet and now I’ve got this as well, I think l may get a visit from mr rolling pin when she finds out

There's more on there to choose from
