studbuckle Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 How many is difficult to tell as most are saying depends on weather (see below) but definatley 4 of us for the Saturday and probably 6 for the Sunday. No doubt I'll get loads more just turning up as for the weather... Saturday for St Bees is Saturday for Harrogate is Sunday for Harrogate is and Sunday for Whitby is with themperatures at a minimum of 19 degrees during the day rising to 24 on the Sunday in Whitby.... sounds ideal to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chippie Dave Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Just got back from meeting up with everyone on Saturday, Had a fantastic time (apart from some throttle cable trouble). Anyone thinking about turning up for Sunday, dont just think about it do it! Just to say thank you very much Simon, for all the organisation you have put into this weekend and making it happen, Put me down for the full weekend next year (hopefully I will have come up with a better set up for my throttle cable by then) Cheers David & Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
