I'll post the pics i took & a link to the video clips, when i figure out how to do it!! (Any tips you professionals?)  :?:

Thanks for the opportunity to meet some really nice people!  :D

I second Mat-Tiger1's comments. Sorry Bixxer but I think it's going to be quite some time before something tops your ford crossing on my cringe/snigger meter  :lol: ,sorry mate. Had a cracking time and I hope it becomes a yearly get together. Nice to put faces to the names.

Mat-Tiger, the video links work (nice work) but when I copy the photo link into google it doesn't find it.

[Bixxer Bob]

Thanks to everyone who turned up; it was a great weekend despite the long wander to the pub.


And regarding the ford.... :oops:  I'd better get my excuses in first.  

Excuse 1:  It's deeper than it looks.

Excuse 2: Those slimey cobbles are really slippery.

Excuse 3: Did anyone else find more potholes than me?

As I go off to do the honourable thing, you may never hear from me again....

Hi aesdj, glad you like the vids! i aggree Bixxer Bob's ford crossing will go down in history!  :lol:

As for the pics, try this:-

Can someone label who is in the picture?  Same for the fording?

Looks like you had fun.  I miss events like that.  Have not done them with dual sporters yet.... did a bit with Jeepers and Unimogers in the past

[NeilD]

well first;y, thanks to "Bixxer Bob" for seeing this through and 'making it happen' after we lost the original site..  8)

sadly (?) I missed out on the ford crossing, but I did find some nice backroads of my own...
this is just off of the Cat n Fidle pass..



I made it to the lunch rendezvous, the Cat and Fiddle pub, which lies on the pass of the same name, a well known bike route in the the area - I was begining to wonder though if I was being snubbed by the Girly owners as I was all alone for a while!!!


finally they arrived, after their 'fun'


the run back to the campsite took in some excellent backroads (thanks to Blacktigers Satnav!), and no one got lost/left behind/fell off!

total of 3 Steamers by the close of play...


so a great weekend, some decent rides, beer, food, company, and even some hiking!!!

[BONANZA]

Well what a great weekend. :D  Some excellent pics and videos, thanks lads. Next year we`ll have to find a proper river crossing  and hope that we can get some practice in beforehand. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did and had a safe ride home, especially the big lad on the steamer (sorry I`m hopeless with names) after his electrical gremlin this morning.

[akendall1966]

Yes made it home just fine - just sad it was a steamer (and the lowest mileage bike on the run) to break down. Cheers all for the assit on the workaround for the side stand switch problem.

I got home around 5 PM after doing a bit of tourism on the way home. It was so windy I decided to stick to roads other than the motorway so ended up on some great back roads around the Tebay/Appleby area.

Oh yes, the weekend I hear you say.    It was 'kin brilliant! everyone of the guys were a pleasure to be riding with, great banter and I consider them friends for life.  :D

The only slight problem was the satnavs, they couldn't find the bloody pub  :?  must have walked miles which is not good for someone of my mature years.  8)  Thanks again guys especially for the pics, I have some on my camera but have not had time to look yet and will post them later.

Was a good couple of days, thanks to all that came and made it what it was.
 It goes a long way meeting people from forums. Makes it lot more personal and real.

[CoolHandLuke]

Some photos here (only three of the group, mind):
