    I've not been on the forum so much since I moved K side but looking at your meet up and it would be nice to perhaps take a ride up and meet some of you guys as I only live about an hour from your meet.
    Unfortunately I am working during the week when you there but could possibly ride over one evening and say hi (Even on a Kawasaki). I've camped at the Royal Oak Hurdlow and the meals there are fantactic.
    There are loads of interesting rides in the area and I highly recommend calling in at the Wetton Mill tea rooms for a brew and cake and also the Grindleford Railway cafe, Tor Cafe at Cromford or Costas cafe Matlock Bath.

    For anyone not familiar with the area here is a run from Wetton Mill tea rooms to Costas cafe Matlock Bath following the mrs on her Street Triple. That strange engine noise you can here is the sound of a proper 4 cylinder engine lol.

    I would be interested depending on work commitments/when/where; weekend camp sounds good; maybe it would be simpler to piggy back onto something already organised?

    As my traveling companion regularly says after he's dropped me in it, "it's far easy to ask for forgiveness!"
