Yorkshire Dales September 2022

[Bonnielad]

I am pleased to tell you that I have put dates in the diary for another weekends trail riding in the glorious Yorkshire Dales.
September 9th & 10th.
Our original campsite has gone 'upmarket' and no longer accepts tents (riff-raff). This seems to be a trend through the dales and it wasn't easy to find one that will accommodate us. But we got there in the end. It's not cheap, but it does have a great pub, as well as shower and washing facilities.
If you would like to join me, book direct with the campsite and mention the MT Riders Club in the application. I have just booked for a basic small tent for two nights on a sloping field but it's still cost £22 per night.
I think we will need to sort our own breakfasts but the pub food at night is excellent - some of us have eaten there before on one of our ride outs.
Street Head Caravan Park has space for tents and motorhomes. It is near West Burton, just a couple of miles off the main A684 Wensleydale road.

Please let me know who's coming.
Hope to see you there.
Steve.

Not sloping, it's a bit steep.

Count me in Steve! Can't beat a weekend in the Dales even if it's pouring with rain!

[Minter]

Booked and paid for!

If anyone from the South or South East is traveling to this very picturesque location and wants to stop off on route at Sportax's new HQ be it Wed or Thur and then convoy North with me on the the Friday morning just let us know..

Is this still on as I haven’t seen any updates?
Cheers

[Bonnielad]

Sorry Dave, I've been away for a few days. Yes it's still on.

[Bonnielad]

Just bouncing this up the list now we're getting close. I will be planning a road route on a map for guidance to all the best roads while I lead a trail route. I don't mind if only a few turn up, I know we'll have a great day's riding, but if plenty turn up, I would like to split us into two groups: One clockwise and the other can do the same route in the opposite direction.

[lardmarc]

I know we'll have a great day's riding.

I hope you'll be stopping for cream teas.

both without electric hookup

UPDATE:
The Streethead camp website states that we must arrive by 7pm.
I have spoken to them. Melanie says that if you are likely to arrive after 7pm, please make it before 9 if possible and phone them first to advise that you are on your way.

She asked us to bear in mind that setting up is difficult in the dark - there is very little ambient light up there.
And they ask for quiet after 10.30 (unless you're in the pub I imagine).
