    Ok only thinking this and not always good for eveyone (up in Scotland, and the southern poofs the other side of London) ;)

    But thinking meet in the middle, say June/July? good weather so not if it's peeing down.

    Anyone know the area that can recommend a place for food and easy to find with enough room for a few bikers?

    Just thinking of trying to get people together to meet and put faces to tags etc...

    Thoughts?

    it's about 120 miles from me . just thinking of a Sat or sun to meet

    Any suggestions or thoughts?
    If we get more interest from people say from the south East we could have a meet lower down. Same goes if we get more intrested from the South west etc....

    Not far at all from me I'd attend but I don't know Leicester very well!

    Loads of the lads when doing a midland meet use Staffordshire or sometimes bassets pole!

    it's just a suggestion at the moment. a Good start would be having a recommended place to meet up, get food and catch up

    1 of my favourite roads Bats. Love it, that and the road from penrith to ambleside. Can't remember the name of the pass, but the views are pretty damn good

    That's the 1 mate, spot on. A bit nadgery at bits but the scenery makes up for it. Going from ambleside up that pass and then onto the hartside pass is a proper good ride out.

    There's also a Pass further into the lakes, that I'm sure is the steepest road in Britain. I was going to do this last year in the car but decided to leave it till I had a chance on the bike.
