Hi. Can you put me down for the campsite.
Will stick to the roads to Barrow though.

Will probably be a case of all just booking themselves into the campsite Friday night. But will give them a call when I get back in 2 weeks and post up here.

And can definitely recommend the hardnot and wynrose pass en route to barrow. They start near the campsite.

I might do this as well, still not sure whether or not I'm coming on the TDM or the XR. Although I know if I come on the TDM then I'll be jealously sulking when you guys set off for the trails.......

That's not THE xr is it jimmy? Or have you upgraded to something with a decent start?

Trail are great in the lakes. One or two tough ones though. Bring your armour.

That's the one, still going strong. Everytime I think about swapping it, I have one more go and change my mind again. Choice of bike depends how I feel after getting back from the Dambusters run (and when)

There's a couple very steep rocky trails. Do able on big bikes, 950 etc, but I wouldn't fancy stalling on them and having to kick that tank jimmy. Easy solution, don't stall. Or fall.
