Thanks David. Will PM you my email for route - but will be interested in having a go at the Sat Nav transfer on the day. Have you done this before.

Yes, BeeJay showed me how to transfer routes when we were in Haltwhistle last year. We both had Garmin Zumo 660's.

Out with one of my main riding buddies on the mountain bikes today. He expressed an interest in joining our ride next Saturday. Thing is, he rides an FJR 1300. I said I didn't think there'd be a problem but I'd ask the question.

If anyone would like a stop on the return route between Castleton & NCMM, the Bank View Café on the A616 in Langsett looks an ideal halfway point.

Should be easy to spot on route.

Looks like us Northern Monkeys could have some serious tea drinking to do.

Blame the French, "we turned polka dot in 2014 to celebrate the Tour de France coming past our front door."

But then again, thank them for the decent road surface on the Strines.

Is there really people who would have a problem with something like this?  :(
