Re: Weekender - 10th-12th September
One cafe I can recommend is "The Nook" near Alston, it's at a Roman fort if you don't mind walking up a hill to see the old earthworks.

I am really sorry I can't make this one as I love the roads up there, reading the Ride guide earlier reminded me of it as it mentions Alston.

Not going to be accurate yet, but as a guide, it's not looking great weather-wise for next weekend.

Re: Weekender - 10th-12th September
Have you drawn straws on who is sharing with me yet? I don't want to worry you, but Cornish tried to suffocate me with a pillow after about 3 hours!

Re: Weekender - 10th-12th September
We have 4 rooms, two of which are doubles and two Twin rooms. . I think we should draw lots.

I would get more sleep riding home each day than sharing with a snorer.

Re: Weekender - 10th-12th September
Cookie and myself have agreed to share a room as neither of us are deviants and we both snore
The costs are £257 split between two for a twin room or £237 if you wish to take a double room for yourself. This includes breakfast on both days but not the evening meals.
Can i ask the rest of you to sort it out fairly amongst yourselves?

Re: Weekender - 10th-12th September
I'll take a double.
That way they'll be room for my life sized love doll.

Re: Weekender - 10th-12th September
Just got back, absolutely knackered, but what a cracking few days.
Great company, good food, amazing roads and only one “lack of talent” moment.
Best of all, nobody died!

I really enjoyed that. Thanks everyone. Especially Duke for organising and Monty for doing some leading.
