i would be up for it, depending on date and baby....

oh - what we going to do camp or hotel b and b?

if latter, then the place i stayed last week end may well be right as it has secured parking etc

From the dates people have given July is out of it. So it will be next week or middle of August

Shall we set a date for August.

Dates that no one has mentioned yet are the weekends of

11th/12th
18th/19th
25th/26th

I will be doing B&B. As for the rideout coulld someone decide on a good run out because I don't know anywhere in the area.
I could pick out a route off the map but who knows what (or where) we would end up

Count me in... Work/wife/baby permitting.

18th of August would be nice... Or the end of July.

...and now you get the 'democracy' problem. Dictate, man, Dictate. You'll never find a date that suits everyone. Pick a date and stick to it.

...and I can't do August.

(...but don't let that stop you

maybe make a poll and then pick the weekend with the most votes?

11/12th August is BSB Croft.

Was planning on doing this but it's my sister's 40th on Saturday so it just might not happen.

Following week is cool fer me tho.

Sounds like a great idea... sorry I missed the North Wales ride out a couple of weeks ago. The only weekend I can make it is the 18th/19th August (the following weekend is a Bank Holiday so accomodation will be expensive/impossible).
As the general concensus is for Midlands, any of us Midlanders got any ideas? Derbyshire is good for roads but bad for the plod. Good routes through north Derbyshire and into Yorkshire though, and roads up to Settle are great for bikes.

I should also be good fer the 18th/19th weekend. Could maybe link up on the way down if any of you other Northerners/Scots/Shetlanders(?) are goin...

Is Yorkshire classed as the Midlands these days?! I think that may be a bit far for me

.... you lucky chap .... the meet-up sounds good but a continental tour much better!

I'm definately jealous of you lot! As I'm selling my business later this year, I doubt we will get away until maybe October, and then it will be a fly-drive (99p flights from Liverpool - Ancona!)
