Grand meet-up in 2016.

Hahaha that is brilliant, my girl would buy me this in a jiffy...

 

Went and booked the Tiger 800 XC in for its service at Staffordshire Triumph today and went for a little ride.

I picked up the A53 and headed to Leek and on towards Buxton.

I turned right a few yards after the Winking Man pub and carried on through Longnor and ended up here.

HELP I KEEP LOOSING MY PICTURES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'LL POST THEM AGAIN





A couple of mile up the road looking back towards Longnor.

Sorry Ade no drinky drivey

But one things for sure the beer won't be flat and warm like southern beer

Seriously the pub looked well patronised when I stopped and looked respectable.

They'll probably not accept any more bookings from motorcyclists after mid August

Yes it's me to blame for lack of report on beers sorry had new boiler put in, not into me but in house not been on bike for a couple of weeks I will do it honest

 

I usually ride the Grand Meet Up area/roads 2-3 times a year and when I do the first port of call is to Yondermans Cafe at Wardlow for breakfast, about 10-15 mins ride from the Royal Oak.

Just to get your taste buds going

Yes big one it's a fine meal using locally sourced produce, the most important meal of the day is breakfast

My riding partner and I usually meet up about 08.15 and always go for breakfast first, we've become breakfast connoisseurs

The cost of that snack was £6 or £6.50, memories going now just thinking about food it puts you on until lunch time

Don't suppose any or many of the attendees will want to face a breakfast like that one after a night on the ale

To answer your prayers! I was working at Huddersfield last night and Warrington tonight so thought I'd take the scenic route so I'm at Royal Oak at the mo, having a coffee, on the way, or would be if this had sent. in car unfortunately, ! Loverly roads loverly weather let's hope it's the same in Aug!

To answer a question from earlier, Doombar is the regular beer and they have 3 guest beers. Coffee was good but a bit pricey didn't get the beer prices though.

 

Only live 55mins away so it's only a bimble

 

Yup they totally do tea!

 

Likewise it's only 50 miles from me so a bimble over for me too.
My plan is to pop over in the afternoon hopefully by then you lot are back from the ride out.

 

If anyone wants a meet up/bimble around the area prior to 'The Event' let me know, I'm up for a meet up.

Dave.

 

Oops note to self, must my wear glasses when posting on this forum, in fact I must wear my glasses all the time.

Dave

 

That would be the first thing I'd want!

 

Three pints? Stop showing off!
