Well if this happens, Davina and I will be there although she will be on one of those slow yellow 675's

What does everybody want to do when we get to Newark?
I was thinking about a run out through Gainsborough and then to Willingham Woods, (just outside Market Raisen for those who don't know it). http://www.first4gear.com/bikemeets/willingham.html
I go there quite regularly and hardly ever see another Falco and there are always people noseying around mine, (some of 'em wondering what it is!), be great to roll up with 10 or 12 Falcos together!
Really depends how much time peolpe have got, but would be a shame not to have a bit of a run and you always get a fair number of bikes at Willingham.
What do the rest of you think?

just realised that Newark is fairly close to Nottingham, / beeston - where an ebay scammer that owes me the best part of 200 drinking vouchers lives..... I think I will definitly be attending this meet - and if any one asks i was with you all day... capische?

hardly ever see another Falco...

I'm a regular visitor to willingham Howard,...mostly wednesday eve...I spotted Loafersmate there last year.
if you time it right for a meet ...there are other regular bike nights in lincoln ....two venues in one night

here's a site for lincs bike nights (not yet updated for 2007 but you get the idea)

Two Falco's in my family means i'll be there

hope this bloody link works

Run to Willingham Woods sounds great. Never been there yet and it will be a great circular route back home for me...so it gets my vote.

Might be a wee bit far for me and I'' probably still be snowed in by then.

HowardQ · #23 Post by **HowardQ** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 10:32 pm

Got a nasty feeling we might be snowed in by then, but just in case we aren't, this is how to find the Castle Barge at Newark-on-Trent.
Just so anybody thinking of coming knows how to find it.
The first map link shows the general approach from the A1 / A46 / A617 / A17 etc..

The next link shows a close up of the area near the river.

As shown on the map, come over the bridge from the left and turn first left into the car park towards the barge.
The final link is to the Castle Barge Website, which has aerial views.

..... you obviously didn't join us on our last get-together !

I'm sure that some of us are still trying to dry things out.

Thing is with a smaller, single day meet up, we can always put it back if the weather looks like being crap, not as easy if people have booked rooms for a weekend away.
Although the obvious downside is that only relatively local people will be able to do it.

paddyz1 · #27 Post by **paddyz1** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 4:46 pm

For one day only the meet up will be fine. We dont have to go for a run (unless you really want to)
We could kick each others tyres and eat lots. From what you all say.. we are all a bunch
of fat fuckers anyway (me included)

. No beer though as we all are riding

Falken · #28 Post by **Falken** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 5:43 pm

What's this fat fuckers. I'm just short for my weight

DavShill · #29 Post by **DavShill** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 5:45 pm

Not really bothered as its a ride out to get there. Willingham woods does look good and there are enough of us within striking distance to meet up there fairly frequently I would have thought.

Anyway - not fussed either way.

If the weather is OK , count me in. Its about 60 miles to Newark for me, but I've heard about Willingham woods and want to check it out for some Weds night runs with my other mates.

But the weather will have to be good mind!! I don't do cold / wet / salty roads etc...
