Right, the mystery tour is no longer a mystery.

Thursday 16th mid month run will be to The Tennant Arms, Kilnsey.

Just got back from a recce of the area (Yes it IS 2:30 AM )

Had a fantastic meal at the aforementioned pub, and the landlord said that they'd be more than happy to accomodate us.

Great food, reasonable prices, and some nice roads to boot. What more could anyone ask?

Can everyone who's going get their names down sharpish then we can give the pub advance notice of numbers.

Dave, I take it you'll lead the run, assuming you can make it, of course.

Suggested meeting points...

Holmfield Arms 7:00pm for 7:10 departure

Brickworks 7:30 for departue as soon as the Holmfield lot arrive.

With a possible additional meet point at that lay-by we usually use, Dave??? just before Ilkley, for any North Leeds folks.

Drive up to Kilnsey for meal / chat / shandy then either a blatt round the dales or home, depending on time and opinions.

Hope that's okay...

Gonna be 8:15 or so by the time we get around the edge of Leeds to the lay-by at Burley-in-Wharfedale, then 9-ish by the time we park at Kilnsey (I thought you'd like the food there ). Is the landlord OK with food orders that late, might be worth a call especially if we're delayed and it gets any later.

Gonna be a quiet one by the looks of things...

 

New girl Jo may be joining us at the Brickworks

Who's meeting where?

 

With just us 3 then you may as well call by my house as it's en-route to The Dales. If anyone doesn't know where it is then we can still do the Brickworks meet at 7:30.

Anyone wanna make it earlier ?

 

Room for a littleun?

Not one to look at changing plans at a late stage but wouldn't it be easier to head Westish? **Cough** As getting North through Leeds will restrict our time at the pub and getting to the Brickworks any earlier than 7:30 is going to be tight for me.. wouldn't Saddleworth and that side be better from the Brickworks?

Just a thought..

 

Al, Hull is east, Saddleworth is north of Manchester which last time I looked was west of here We could head that way, but it takes 20-30 mins to get to J.22 where we will end up on unfamiliar roads. At least we know where we're going in The Dales, and it is still only 20-30 mins to Burley-in-Wharfedale where the fun roads begin.

 

Fairy snuff mate.. Just thought a Westward drive would be easier on time..

No issues, if you think North is better all round then North it is...

 

would like to join in but the car is having some things done to it for a while so ill be at home, unless......

 

Sorry guys,

As you all know mid week meets and runs are difficult for me to attend due to work.

In addition I have an up pipe problem at the mo' and again work stopping me geting it fixed till the weekend

Love that run out too

Have fun

 

Unfortunately, I'll have to give this one a miss - got rid of the chest cold only to pick it up again last couple of days so if I cough hard enough, I chunder

I guess I wouldn't be the most popular if I turned up...

Have a good run and noshing and don't scare off Jo if she goes.


Andy

PS My dad remembers being stripped off in the Tennant Arms as a youth on a Sunday School weekend but that's a story for another time

 

Just spied this one. Will pop along if thats ok

What time will you be at the layby near B in W.

Think I will bring the GF so I can have beer and she can drive back

The roads up round Kilnsey,Kettlewell and Burnsal used to be my playground on the bike years ago. They dont get much better

Ian

 

Al if your coming over this way could I blag a lift in that nice shiney motor of yours

I seem to be having some wheel balance/tracking/geometry probs which if I can't get it sorted out tomorrow I won't be able to attend the car does not feel stable at speeds of 70+mph so I'm not too keen on blatting around roads I don't know in the dark and also possibly wet

Again

I'll buy you a pint

 

Got your PM too.. Pincer movement eh?

Mate.. if work doesn't get in the way then I'll be at your gaff around about 7.... I'll call ya as I'm not sure how tomorrow is going to pan out...

 

Nice one mate

Hopefully see you then

 

I do know how tomorrow is going to pan out, and I'm not gonna be able to make this

Blame it on...
a broken digital printer, needed a £15 ribbon cable and a £275 / hour techie to fit, but meant that no work was done Monday...
a broken laminator, needed a couple of screws removing from a side panel and the drive chain re-fitting. Blame it on a dumb singwriter thinking it must be something really serious and panicking...
a now fixed digital printer that seems to be having problems aligning printing and cutting on days which contain the letter 'Y'. Blame it on the fact that it's very probably female.

As a result, whilst you guys are blatting round the Dales and doing a spot of Sheep worrying I'll be at work / asleep / having a nervous breakdown / suicidal Delete where applicable.

 

Sticky have you pinched some of my stuff, must have been you that I saw?

 

After a 7 hour drive am very exhausted, busy tomorrow too. = give it a miss, have fun,,

 

Hope you get it all sorted If you need extra manpower I could spare you some time next week. Call me

If everyone else is OK then it's still Al (with Daz ) meeting me and possibly Jo (Miss Speedy) at The Brickworks, and then on to B-in-W to meet Ian. Not the best turnout, but after the confusion about dates and the short notice it will still be fun. I'm definately up for it as I won't be at the main meet this month.

 

Car feels unstable at speed 70+mph so how would I be able to keep up with you, Mr Warp Drive

 

What time will you be at B in W .

 

I would guess 8-8.15

 

As an aside Ian is it your car that I used to see practically every morning on my way to work? We'd always cross paths near St.Ives (you travelling towards Bingley) Had the black sti with graphics but now removed them so now just ermmmm plain black.

We'd always have a wave but haven't see you for a while

Rob

 

David..

I've just had a call from Dave Carter. He's having probs logging in to SNET, But he'll be at the Brickworks at 7:15.

I won't know for sure until a little later how things turn out here at work... so no full confirmation from me just yet

Daz, can you get to the Brickworks or do you need picking up?

 

That will have been me in the blue Bugeye Wagon.
The kids have changed schools now from Myrtle park to Crossflats. They dont need to be there till 8.45 so I can have an extra 10 mins lie in and set off a bit later now

Ian

 

Dave.. Can't make it mate.. Gutted. Have some work to do tonight or I'll be way too far behind with some important work..

Drive or career... drive or career...

Career. The money pays for the driving..

Enjoy all... Stay safe.

 

I don't know where that is so a pickup would be great if you can



Edited to say: When I posted this, Al's last post was not on the screen, that's why it doesn't make sense.

It looks like I'll be giving it a miss then unfortunately

Al, you don't need a job just sell some of your lasses shoes on ebay, if she's owt like mine she won't miss a few hundred pairs

 

A bit of a damp squib

Oh well, got myself psych'd up for a meal out so may as well meet those who can be bothered

To re-cap,

Me (BW)
Dave Carter (BW)
Ian (B-in-W)
Daz (possibly cadging a lift )
Miss Speedy ? (BW)
