Quote from: "blacktiger"P.S. Jason, Will, don't forget to recce some nice wet fords. Just for uncle John from Nofuck.

I'll see what I can do for you. I'll have a word with a lad from work that does off roading about a route for you slightly insane lot that fancy it. I won't be able to tell you anything about it though as I don't do that sort of stuff,sorry.

Thanks to who ever for changing the poll,cheers.

Actually I'm not too bothered about an actual off road route. I might well be on my Girly. Just a couple of fords will do. This site will help http://www.wetroads.co.uk/

I'll do it right now. :) we'll see if they have their reading glasses on this time. Looks like they've decided to allow all types of Tiger into their event.

Why's that? A Tiger rider is a Tiger rider is a Tiger rider. We're not fussy.

Well Dilbert at the 2011 meet BlackTiger kindly volunteered me to arrange this years meet (cheers mate). As I'm from Yorkshire this is were the meet is being held. This is one idea for the camping http://www.masonscampsite.co.uk/Welcome_.html and this is the local pub http://www.craven-cruckbarn.co.uk/pub.htm   . If you use this link you can see the site and how far the pub is from it. Don't worry everyone, its not as far as the 2010 pub  :lol: . This is early in the planning and this is what I've found so far but once the bikes on the road (1 April) I'll drive out and have a proper look and time the walk to the pub. These may all change as I've said this is what I've come up with so far.At the minute we our just deciding the date.

Looks good. Particularly like the pub. "Society for the preservation of beer from the wood" & 8 beers to try. NICE!
It's 0.4 miles from the bottom of the campsite to the pub. I think we can manage that.

Well if BlackTiger's giving it the thumb's up and he's a real ale man then it should do for all the drinkers of the group. I'll ring the camp site tommorow to check that they'll take 15+ biker's and e-mail the pub about meals etc.

I fancy a bit of this bash :D  but cant vote on a date as our crew is in Scotland May / June and no dates have been confirmed.

I'm not opening my gob this time, I'll wait for the dates from everyone else, if it fits I'll come, but like Pete I'm in France from mid June til early July and no dates confirmed yet.

Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

I've been in touch with both the pub and camp site and the pub is fine about the numbers but it would help if they know before hand how many per night would like a meal.The campsite also said its fine but with it being in high season its a minimum of 2 nights.For one person in a tent it is £10 p/n and for 2 in a tent its £17 p/n.This includes all the facilities which to be honest I think we'll only need the showers.They will need £20 depoist per booking which can be done on line or over the phone.If people can say if this is ok or not  then we'll go with majority.
