I've spoken to Karen at the campsite today. She asks PLEASE book in asap. We don't want a repeat of last year's confusion. So far she's only got Minter & me.
I've also spoken to Jackie at the Wensleydale Pantry and confirmed the restaurant as last year. Saturday breakfast and evening meal (that's booked for 7pm). Friday evening and Sunday's breakfast are available if we want them.

I had really wanted to come along again as I really enjoyed last year in spite of the naff weather and my fork seal popping. But I've got so much going on I can't put aside the time, plus the bike is off road anyway. I finally got time to do some work on her to put her on the road again and found the oil level was low, while looking round it I thought the copper washer where the crank locking bolt goes might have been shot as I saw a drip forming there.
I replaced it, went to tighten and it went all spongy and that's all she wrote. Now waiting on a helicoil kit to try and repair :(

Good luck with your repair. Have you changed the seals + spring on the valve underneath the oil filter ?

That's a shame.. use a time sert not a Helicoil as the tang is easy to lose in the engine. I've seen a few Helicoil disasters which ain't good for the motor..

Almost ready for the weekend with the prototype 3ph electrics and looms, unique key ignitions and fancy new Sportax seat covers! New tyres going on ready for MOT in the morning!

See you all at the weekend..

I'll have some of the club shop on the van but shout out if there is anything specific you'd like..

Nice one Dave, cheers. Your tyres should be good and gravel tracks and tarmac tho! I've got some new Michelin Enduro Mediums to fit! Best tyres in the world!
