BON Summer Camping Trip - Anyone interested

Just throwing a few ideas around at the moment but thought it might be a laugh if we sort out camping trip somewhere this summer.

Anyone interested?

Doesn't have to be a regular hosted event such as Storming the Castle or Farmyard. Could be one we've arranged ourselves or a more lower key event. I know my dad (veteran biker extraordinaire) goes on camps all the time - ok so one of them is in the middle of Wales in February, I'll pass on sleeping out in THAT! There are loads of events all over the place though we could tap into or simply organise and start our own.

We can arrange dates, places etc once we have enough interest, so... copy and paste the names below and add yours to the ever growing list of who's up for it.

Dont do camping i like these, and these

I do it one weekend per year, but thinking of trying to find a B&B this year instead - fook all room on teh back of a StripleR for camping gear.

That thought had crossed my mind tbh. Strapping my shit to the back of my new baby ain't drawing pretty pics. Was a lot easier on the Bandit

Some of us went camping at Dent Music Festival last May - it was a bit wet and just a trifle muddy

Not my idea of fun, lol.

Not mine either Ade - small tent, muddy field, wet clothes and gear. However, the company was fab and we made the best out of the bad weather. See the pics here:

Dent pitcures June 2011

PS - can ya spot Bubbaz

Looks like my idea of hell, tbh. I was there for half an hour when the YBF lot camped there, but it was hot and sunny then. I nearly crashed my car into an ambulance on the single track road into Dent, captured on video from the camera on my bonnet, lol.

That was a great weekend, apart from the mud & rain, would love to do it again sometime

Thats the thing with camping - if the weather is good its ace. If it rains its living hell.

t**ts!

I'd go camping but only to a place where there won't be 5,000 beardy folk fans with undisciplined children and will be showers and a phone signal.

Some folks I know are going here in June. http://www.dalesbridge.co.uk/
You can camp or use a bunk house. I'm just deciding whether I'm going or not at the mo.

There WERE showers Bubbz and I'll have ya know I shave my beard every morning

Camping might be the only jollies we'll get this year cos we've two weddings (my daughter next week and Yorkie's son in June) which have taken all the pennies.

Are they going for anything in particular Bubbaz or just as a base for some biking adventures?

A camping trip would be good again this year

They're some from the bandit owners club I used to be in. It's the Yorkshire section. They're ok and I think some of the Scottish lot might go too who're a sound bunch. Down side, there may be the odd southern whinging tart.

I'll find out a bit more soon.

Looks good. We've camped a few times here. http://www.comriecroft.com/
Only trouble is, no pub nearby but alright for camping, fires and roads.

Looks great, I'd be up for another camping trip

Scotland looks great.We took in some lovely roads & scenery when we went to see Delboy .I would be up for it.Cannot remember the name of the twisty road we took up the mountain but it sure was a laugh.

Delboy - pmsl. I remember him. I bought some renthal sprockets off him for my bandit. Nice guy. Does anyone still speak to him?

Yup. Sold him a chain tool just last week.

PMSL - read that response then realised it was inanswer to MY quote and NOT Helen's.

That could'a been so wrong

Or a fat one hahaha,thats why i dont do camping when u have riden all day u need somewhere warm dry and comfy to rest

Once a year's enough for me. Different in a car where you can throw everything and the kitchen sink into the cavernous boot (and just chuck it all back in at the end without having to repack tents, sleping bag etc), but just a pain in the arse trying to get all that gear on a bike, even if the weather is kind. Wouldn't work at all on Striple, bugger all space and nothing to fasten anything to.

That's all part of the fun tho

If you say so.

I enjoy camping so much, I'm going to go tomorrow for a couple of days.

This is proper camping. Mini Bubbz and me camping in Aviemore 2010. The blue tent on the left.

I wana shake the hand of who ever cleared the snow and slept under the picnic bench

Are there any bears in Aviemore?

Mate im up for camping. Dont care if its dry, wet, warm or cold. We can huddle together for warmth! I wont tell anyone!
Its all the same to me.
North west of Scotland is amazing. And i grew up near Aviemore.

You can camp or use a bunk house.

They're going on the weekend of the 8th-10th June and stopping on the 8th and 9th. Rideout on the Saturday.
If you're interested in a bunkhouse, camping or caravanning, use the dalesbridge link HERE to book yourself in. We're camping it but some are bunking and one is taking a caravan.

To close to home i could be home in my own bed within the hour

having just been to Into the Valley and suffered a -5C overnoight temperature, woke up at 6am to find an inch of frosy on the tent I can safely say I will not be camping again until the weather gets a tad warmer.

Got Scotland in 6 weeks but in bunkhouses so should have some level of comfort at least, of course theres always the rain getting there......

Is anyone camping at squires tomoz?

no,haha

I didnt think you would be matey. Remember you saying its not your thing. I see your bike is ready to roll again. Good stuff!
