TT rideout 2013

So now FS is back how about bringing back the TT ride out meet and nosh afterwards?
What does everyone think?
Should we have it?should we keep it to Friday practice week for 11am (ish) or set a new time/day?

Fine by me GT , at the Grandsand is that ?

Yep can be!could meet anywhere tbh!
Next question is do we want a lap of the course or bimble off the track/ride around island

What ever , go with the flow see how many are up for it , no pancakes though sorry not that many made it last time Ha Ha Ha

As a non-rider I won't be riding, but a meet-up would be grand and I'm always up for the food element.

Not coming this year *weeps* ... However, planning on >three weeks in 2014

We have been doing three weeks now for TT and the same for the Manx for the last couple of years to take advantage of the cheap ferry's and love it the time before and after to chill out and just enjoy the beautiful place the Island is parking the Bugilow where ever the mood takes us

Ooh, nice. We're bringing Mega Bus next year. You can all consider yourselves invited round for dinner & beer. x

p.s. nice photo, Eddy. Where is it (looking for spots to park and/or wildcamp)?

That is the car park just before Peel castle, you can also park on the wall after the Castle cafe and there are loads of places Laxey Ramsey Port Erin Brandywell the Bungalow Langnes and the list goes on there are places to get water and empty your wast , it is a great way of doing it we go for three weeks at TT and same at Manx for the last couple of years and it has been the best times we have had in nearly 20 years and wild camp all the time we use the Sulby Claddaughs that you need a permit for , thats free then there is the Moora park at Ramsey that you get a permit from the Town hall for think it was £10 for the year but we parked along the front neer the Swimming pool and you dont need any thing there, Tell you what if you want to send me a OS map and I will mark it up for you with all the places we have used and where to get water and suchlike

Yay! That would be fantastic, thanks. x

Will PM you my address

I'm up for the rideout, best kept to the same time as before, to avoid confusion (I'm easily confused!)

Cant be having you all full of Confucius MrG that would never do

Confusion=normal state for some of us lol

Gonna. Miss it this year but looking forward to keeping in touch with you all.

So when will you next be home then mate?

Back to Aberdeen in July for 2 weeks to see kids then possibly November. Might try for TT 14 trip. Would have liked to do Manx this year as good friend is novice. But looks like that will not happen

Is your offer still open, Eddy? I've a map I could post to you. No rush, though as the trip won't be this year

sure is hun post it up you have the ad and I will mark it up with a number on each place and attach a note telling you what is relevant to each number just put a note with your map telling me how big a van you have , if it is van conversion or coach built , as there is some places that are a bit narrow and dont want to get you stuck , when were you going over next ? you may have told us but with a memory like mine ?? or is that lack of , ha ha

Will do, though your address seems to have disappeared into the ether. Could you let me have it again, please. Or you could always email it to me (katedotcoullingatgmaildotcom)). I'll certain include the measurements, whilst it's not in John McG's league, I don't call it Mega Bus for nowt.

I'll get the map in the post next week, just about to set off in Mega Bus for a few days over the other side of the Pennines (do I need my passport, do you reckon?).

Decided very reluctantly not to go over the water this year and save up for next year's ferry, as Mega Bus is 7.4 m (24 feet in proper money) long, the Steam Racket want a fortune to bring us over.

Email sent hun and just be on your best behavior at this side of yonder hills dont want the Sheriff of Hutton locking you up or clamping you in the stocks , I am heading the other way over yonder hills to Oulton Park for the BSB

I'm not going to be there this year

So what's the concensus for rideout?this is if I get my bike going again...think am going to need nobles ccu when I get bill for it!

I'll be at the grandstand at 11am, friday morning. If nobody turns up, I'll wander down to John's church, or round the paddock.
