Op Storm Bonny Scotland 16-18th August 2013

[Virt]

Doubtful I'd be able to make it. And I'm worried about how much time I'll be able to survive around all the beautiful bikes except the yellow, red and blue ones mind I need to save money for the firestorm closer to that end of this year so it's a no

Ok this will have to be August and my wife has rented the holiday house out most weeks, so I am camping too

Need to workaround any track day session that ziggy is planning but I am thinking
Aug, 16, 17, 18
Or 23, 24, 25

[grumpyfrog]

Both weekends are good with me, so I'm in. (must get some more practice in)
Having to take holidays from 6th to 21st July, not planning to do anything at the weekends, so if anyone has any other rideouts planned for then let me know, otherwise billy no mates will be out alone.

First weekend might be best al ,Wales trip early September bit close to later dates ,but can't wait to be back in Scotland so either dates will be ok.cheerz ady f.

[grumpyfrog]

Got roped into something else on the last weekend so first date works with me.

[AMCQ46]

That first weekend. The 16,17&18th aug is looking best for me, so if we can get at least 4 people interested we can do a mini op storm this year and sound it out for next yr.

[Miztaziggy]

Yeah I am interested. Count me in.

I'll be up for meeting up with you guys at some point over that weekend - I can get another couple of storms from ayrshire to pop along as well.

Probably would just be for the day mind, I can't be arsed camping if I know my bed is within range!!

[dragonback]

Has to be camping as my Wife has rented the house of over those 2 weeks [we change over on Saturday, so she would rather have £900 rent from 2 lettings than let us have the house for 2 nights............I have taught her well ].

friday will ride up taking in the lake district side of the M6, When we know who is coming from the south, I will try and map a route with meetup points

Saturday we will do 300 to 400 miles in SW scotland

Mattster as a day triper,

Ady, as you started this thread can you change the title to show the date and put this stuff on the first post as well?

[Miztaziggy]

Ill be setting off from home which is east of the M6, ill probably go up through Dales, via Hawes, Sedbergh, Kendal so maybe could meet you there?

Just put the 16th day on the calendar in the office so I have it off now anyway.
