Well once everyone's at the Travelodge or wherever they're staying I thought we could have a little ride out to Llandudno along the promenade perhaps going to the top of the Great Orme or into Conwy, we could all rendezvous on the front down the road from your gaff Paul if you like or if you can suggest a good spot for the bikes to pull up :?: :?:

Remembering we're all booked into the Toad Inn for 7pm tho so the sooner we get out for a spin the better that is if people want to go out for a short ride it's not compulsory as some people may be tired from the ride up :?: :?: :?: :?:

sounds good, once a few turn up it will be obvious where to stop, along the prom in Rhos on Sea there is a huge mound of grass on your left (and a left turn) and there is a kiosk there directly on the sea front for tea etc. could be a good spot, tons of parking.
What sort of eta is everyone aiming for to arrive at hotel before bimble

Good question Martin, I reckon about 2pm, I don't think they're that strict about the check in but what do I know, hey ya can all call in at our gaff if ya like and we'll all go up together, there's a few who are on about going through the mountains along the A5 it takes a little bit longer but what the hell it ain't a race and we're not in a rush, we're open to suggestions so fire away.

@Sparks wrote:Is that Cayley Promenade off West Promenade :?:

Yes, The Cayley Prom is the road that goes over the mound of grass, gives great views all over the bay.

If the weather is good I might ride down to Broughton to join in early??

**pdn561** on Thu 20 Aug 2015, 22:13

Evening all,

I'm really flexible about route and timings on Saturday to get there and for an afternoon bimble. (As long as I can have a quick break every 90 mins or so... fat arse gets numb!)

Anybody heading over from t'Yorkshire? (I'm just off J31 M1 in South Yorkshire.)

Cheers,
Paul.

Guzzer on Sat 22 Aug 2015, 17:34

Still no clutch casing with window as yet!!!!!!!!!!

**Richy Y** on Sun 23 Aug 2015, 19:16

We will be leaving on the Friday and will find somewhere to stay Friday Night. I think we'll be coming down the A1, M62 and then find a place to stay (preferably near a pub). Saturday we'll ride to Dave's (Sparks) in the morning and travel on wards with him and Karen. If anyone would care to join us on any part of the journey your more than welcome to do so.

Richy & Allison

**IANTHAIN25** on Sun 23 Aug 2015, 19:46

Hi all, I'm gonna head up the A5 from my neck of the woods, could meet the Midlands lot on the McDonald's car park on the A5 at Wall island, then head up to the ponderosa on the way. Anybody up for it?

Don't know where you're planning on stopping but theres Lymm services and truckstop at the M6/M56 junction theres a Hotel Ibis, Maccy D's and truckstop restaurant and bar all on the same site. Sharron myself and maybe Mick will be passing around eleven'ish to meet up with Dave and crew

**Richy Y** on Sun 23 Aug 2015, 21:03

That sounds like a plan Martin, will PM you my mobile number.

**Sparks** on Mon 24 Aug 2015, 06:04

Ok looks like its A5/A483 Maccy Dee's junction then up the Ponderosa, Richy, Martin, Mick are you calling in our gaff or shall we meet you on the A5 junction coz either way works for us :?:

Zebedee on Mon 24 Aug 2015, 19:00

Will not be at this one as,
1) not got me ride yet
2) working
Next year

**Richy Y** on Tue 25 Aug 2015, 14:57

What would be easier Dave, coming to yours or just meeting at the Maccy D's??

HERE · **Mick** on Tue 25 Aug 2015, 15:03

Don't forget for anyone using the M56 this weekend that its also the "Creamfields" event
as well, so it might get a bit busy in or around the Lymm M6 / M56 junction.

**Sparks** on Tue 25 Aug 2015, 17:54

The choice is yours Richy we're only 2 mins off the A483 so if you want to drop by no probs but you can just carry on up the A483 and we'll see ya there, Ulsterman, Paul81272 and possibly Bamkats are calling at our's and we're going up to the A5 junction, oh and as Mick says it's Creamfields this weekend and we got stuck in it coming back from the Scotland meet last year.

**paul81272** on Wed 26 Aug 2015, 09:04

Guzzer on Wed 26 Aug 2015, 14:41

You've just gotta double glaze it, fill the void with clear oil & put a couple of plastic goldfish in there bud.

It'll look mental eyebrows

I purchased an extra clutch casing to have modified I didnt want to risk being bikeless for weeks so the original is still in place. Roll on Saturday and lets hope for good weather.

**Sparks** on Thu 27 Aug 2015, 17:24

Oh forgot to say for those who might be interested this weekend is the Rhyl Airshow so there's a possibility you'll spot some aircraft going over the mountains, The Vulcan bomber is doing a display there and it's the last time it's flying so keep yer eyes peeled.

**Richy Y** on Thu 27 Aug 2015, 17:56

We'll call at yours Dave as your not finishing work till late, and you need all the beauty sleep you can get!!!

**pdn561** on Sat 29 Aug 2015, 15:36

Afternoon all,

I don't have any contact details for anybody in my phone, just wanted to let you know I'm still coming to the meet this weekend! I had a call-out from work this morning. Just on my way home now to grab the bike and set off.

Should get there just in time for the food, hopefully be in the pub by 7.30pm. I've sent Paul a PM with my mobile, just wanted to make sure my food order doesn't get cancelled! ;)

I'm staying in a b&b on the promenade called the Colbourn Hotel, so not far from most you.

Cheers & see you all later!
