The ride will end around Chester Le Street, to allow people to peel off homewards. Sat nav file is now available from Keith Pattison via email. keithpattison_485@hotmail.com or this link: – Tan Hill Run.
Hello all, those already booked and those still mulling it over.
There is one double room available in the Hall for Friday and Saturday nights of the August bank holiday weekend. Plenty of camping space. Lou Ross band confirmed for the Saturday evening when we will be having a hog roast and a pint after a medium sized ride in the Northumberland countryside.
On the Sunday we will go for a longer ride before returning for a Chili and some mystery activity in the Crypt of the hall. Please let us know if any special dietary requirements.
There will be some awards for planned and random things occurring, no doubt. The garage/ shop at Thropton a few miles away is now open which is superb news for campers and those with big appetites and small fuel tanks.
Will see many of you this weekend at the Dapper Social / Distinguished Gentlemans Ride / Tyne Bank Brewery. Still time for that too – eventbrite for tickets. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to help set up and marshall – great effort on this new venture
