Posted in 'Wherever Next?' if there is going to be the usual weekend meet for those that carn't do the Ireland trip and was adviced to start a new thread so here it is.
Who want's to meet for 2 or 3 days and anyone want to volunteer to take there turn arranging it.
Also suggestions of dates would be a good starting point. For me not that bothered but June probably preferred.
Yep. :thumbsup :wheel But I'm away early June until the 19th(ish).
Yup. Count me in for interested in attending but out for helping organise. Done my turn(s)!
Count me in! :thumbsup I'm out of the country for a couple of weeks in July (9th-20th) but apart from that I could make a meet! :icon_biggrin:
Suggest we look at SW or SE England this time, unless there are any other suggestions? :m
+1 late July or early August might be better to allow budgets to recover.
How about the borders?

Well, I was thinking that I've never seen the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. It looks pretty lumpy so should have some interesting roads. Anyone know anything about the area?
http://www.rosedaleabbeycaravanpark.co.uk is pretty central and there's a couple of hotels and a couple of pubs in town. :thumbsup

There's even a place called Fryup....... http://www.yorkshiremoors.co.uk/walks/fryup_dales.html
End of July or August suits me at the moment.
Almost anywhere is fine with me. I would be happy with a South of England trip or North Yorks or Borders.

Well we can't complain. The last one was equidistant at an hour from our respective houses.... :thumbsup
You're talking yourself into a job there mate :icon_wink:

I've already done the requisite 10 minutes research for this. :cp

Mmmm. I really enjoyed our time in the Yorkshire Dales back in 2012. :icon_cool:
Hopefully the North Yorkshire moors would be equally as good! :^_^
North York Moors has some cracking roads, in a compact area. Rosedale chimney is 30% incline in parts, makes a fun descent. The moors road from Osmotherley to Helmsley is favourite of mine." The Helmsley TT" through Bilsdale is always popular. There is a lovely desolate road around Westerdale and Castleton with a ford. Sadly I probably will not be able to make it this year, but I am happy to suggest roads to ride. And a friend of mine lives in Westerdale and rides a BMW, so we can always sneak out to recce some routes if you want.
No volunteers for organising this as yet then lads. Come on, who fancies stepping up to the plate?

Don't know much about North Yorkshire Moors but I've done some quick searching and have found other bikers routes that I could join together to make what should be a good ride out. I'll go and ride it but it's quite a way from my house so it's not something I could do very often. If Geoff W doesn't mind I could ping him an e-mail of the route for him to look over and advice us on.
Your idea of Pickering seems a good meeting/sleeping place and you've already found some B+B's/pubs that we could use.
Remember guys that were only spit balling this plan so if there's no takers on arranging it in a different location at least we've got a start on something.
For me I'd like it some were else as I ride these sort of roads and see this sort of scenery all the time but all the same you guys don't so if this is the best we've got come say mid Feb then we'll run with it.
No matter were we end up it's looking like early July could fit in with the people that have given a date suggestion (Black Tiger, Mat-Tiger 1 and Sin Tiger). I'm going to count August out for me as I'm in the process of sorting the family holiday and it's looking like it's going to be sometime in that month. What about June 29th - July 1st?

I know you have mate. Those that are exempt from volunteering if they choose and if I remember right is me (Yorkshire), yourself (down south some were, Hovis Hill), SinTiger (Scotland), Bixxer Bob (Norfolk), ThreePot(Wales) and Nick Calne (don't know were). Probably got that wrong but you get the jist.

Pretty much. If nothing else materialses then we'll pick the one that's the best from your Real Ale Guide, I know how important that is to you :ImaPoser :thumbsup and get booking.

What about June 29th - July 1st?
Any other suggestions on dates or is the dates I put forward going to fit in with peoples plans?
Just had a quick look at Rosedale Abbey & a lot of the b&b's etc. are fully booked for late July / August :icon_rolleyes: (popular area for walking by all accounts)
Unless everyone is up for camping, maybe we should look for a slightly bigger village or a town to give us more options forHotels, b&b's, pubs, restaurants etc. :^_^
(Personally I don't mind listening to Howard snoring in his tent whilst gazing up at the stars! :icon_eek: :icon_lol:)
Anyway, the surrounding area looks lovely & there seem to be lots of little routes we could possibly stitch together? :m http://www.ridersguide.co.uk/Rides_in_County_168 :wheel
As ever, I'll go with the flow! :thumbsup
When did all the Tiger riders go soft and stop camping?

Did you notice if there were busy at the date I suggested. With it being late June, early July we'll be in and out before the 6 week holidays. Could look at Helmsley as an alternative.

Camping will be available just for you Nigel. For the rest of us, it's far more comfortable in the British climate to have a B&B or hotel room to dry off and warm up. :augie
With regard to other towns to stay in. Why don't we go for a seaside holiday and stay in Whitby? Plenty of hotels. Plenty of places to eat and drink.
These are just a first look at pubs with accommodation.

Works for me! :thumbsup Looks to be a lot more options in that area. :icon_biggrin: :occasion14
If there are no objections or other suggestions, what dates would we be looking at?? :m
(I have to get my holiday requests in early! :icon_rolleyes: Oh, & pass stamped by SWMBO of course!! :icon_redface:)
Whitby is great, just very crowded. Good biker cafe next to the station in the centre of town. Just avoid The Goth Weekend, unless you want to meet up with loads of white faced folk wearing cloaks.
Filey is nice as well, tiny bit further south, good municipal campsite.
Alternatively Scarborough has lots of cheap accommodation. Also the racing is on at Olivers Mount, the only place in England where they "race between the hedges". Races are on 23-24th June. Scarborough bike week 21-29th July with the Barry Sheene racing weekend on 28-29th July.
Personally I'd prefer this to be our event rather than sitting somewhere watching another event.
North Yorkshire sounds great to me. Must pass through Goathland, nice pub, wonder if that barmaid with the kinky boots is still there.
Could stay at Pickering, but a bit dry and does smell of coal, due to the steam railway.

Whitby's fine with me. Looking at the hotels/B+B that you've found and I'm guessing with them all in Whitby, there's not many rooms per building so we'd have to meet up in a neutral location as it's looking like we'd be spread around which is no big deal. Think we really need to get a date sorted so we can book as I'm surpriced how full they seem to be getting.

+1 to that.
Time for a poll mods!
I can do most weekends ATM, though other obstacles may arise - but I'll be camping so not so much of a prob as with B&B bookings etc.
The 'Goffs' have their fun (but they won't admit it) 27-29th April so they'll long be home with their coffin handbags and Pentacles :icon_wink:
I don't usually go near the seaside in Summer so that would be new :m
Put me name down boys!
Erm, ignore all that... It seems that I probably won't make this one after all :icon_confused:
You what Jaydub? You gotta Go, it's in your Tigertriple contract! :m
Not much I can do in this case Nick, fate is in complete control :icon_rolleyes:
Ah fate. Tends to be a nob about things. Especially when you really don't need it to be.
So, are we going for Whitby then? Is that the consensus of opinion? :^_^
As for dates, i can do pretty much anything in the (so called) summer other than:-
25th May - 3rd June. (Ireland tour :wheel) or 7th - 22nd of July as i'm working abroad those weeks. :icon_sad:
If we can get some dates sorted sooner rather than later, i'll be in a better position to be able to get the time booked off! :thumbsup
Put me down for this one, cant make 1st and 2nd weeks in July tho, plus Ive gone soft and need a decent bed :icon_wink:
I can't make 6th to 14th July, away to the Alps

'snot looking good for a high climb up the pass. Looks like lots of snow this winter. https://www.inthesnow.com/alpe-dhuez-snow-report-and-forecast-10th-january/
Not posted on here for quite a while and don,t think I,ll be available for this (even though its just down the road) but if anyones looking for camping theres a small campsite in Whitby itself. Folly Gardens on Green Lane, the road which runs from the harbour side to the abbey. Never stayed there and don't know anything about it but it is very close to the town centre. Any info on roads and routes for a rideout give me a shout and I,ll try to steer you in the right direction. A good place for food is the Whistlestop café in Station Square, good food and very bike friendly. Hope its a help and anything else give me a shout.
Will
As yet no one's come up with any other recommended dates for this meet and times moving on so if it's good with everyone let's use the dates I put forward, then we can start getting things booked etc.
Date put forward = 29thJune - 1st July
This date fitted around a few people that put forward dates that they couldn't come at the beginning of this thread. I've not reviewed the dates that other people have said they can't come so apologize if it clashes.
:wheel
It looks like we might be having to book Guest houses all over the place. So I was wondering if Whitby allows motorcycles to park on the pavement opposite the Wetherspoons as it would be an excellent place to congregate for breakfast.
Sounds good to me, will probably gate crash this one. :thumbsup

The station carpark and Whistlestop café are 50 yds over the road from Wetherspoons.

Just booked in for me and the wife for Friday 29th June to Sunday 1st July so I'm good to go. I'll cobble a ride together from other people's routes that I've found online and post it to get your thoughts.
