or somewhere else to somewhere else?

I tried Google maps to find out where you were referring to but it wasn't very clear

Sounds like a plan dale perhaps meet up at petrol station just inside the town.
Flatlander is on about coming over nearer to the end of feb for a bit of work done on his falco so we could possibly tie it in then...
It is looking like the 25th so....
I will pm my phone number :smt002

Any reason for starting at Caister? Are you going up the Ashby Road, over Loughborough to Melton?

If it's fine, I get a pass and I'm in Hinckley that weekend then i'll come along for the first 1/3 (ish)

Its Horncastle by Cadwell park in Lincs
http://g.co/maps/n2xqv

Thats a route if its Caister in Tamworth


Though I suspect this may be closer if not altogether accurate

That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I think Blinkey means Caistor, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire - Horncastle,

The B1225 just north of Horncastle is an ok road :smt023

I thought thats what I put LOL I know it goes through willingham and by cadwell and I guessed he didn't want to ride to webfoot territory to start :smt003 unless he is after a tractor? :smt017

Webfoot territory has a Caister and a Caistor ... sounds as though you don't know what you have. :smt020
