BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

BaseCamp routes transferred to Zumo 660, weather permitting, looking forward to Saturday 13th.

Just a thought, if anyone would like to meet up with us in Castleton, I guess our ETA at the car park (N53.34377° W1.77768°) to be around 12:30.

Likewise, if wishing to "bail out" early, the Bank View Café at Langsett (N53.50060° W1.68070°) isn't far (10 miles) from the M1.

The weathers looking favourable for Saturday 

Perhaps attendees could post their location and what the weather is doing "live" where they are on Saturday morning, "RT Weather Watchers".

Looking forward to the 'Meet Up' tomorrow. Forecast  reasonable, patchy rain in the morning. Let's hope the patches miss us.

The forecast looks very changeable for tomorrow.
I'll open the curtains and see what it's doing in the morning, if other folks could do the same, that would be a great help, thanks.
As above, please post some "live" casts from your location.

If we get to the NCMM for the meet up at 10:30, depending on what the weather throws at us, we could always do plan B, whatever that may be.
From the NCMM, we could head North, South, East or West, whichever is best.

Will post my intentions before 09:00 in the morning.

Good morning, it's currently dry and 12.1 degC here at Ingleby Barwick, http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ts17

What's it doing where you are?

Morning all.

Sun shining with plenty of light, high cloud and cool breeze. 12 Celcius and dry. Perfect biking weather. Probably similar in Castleton which is 21 miles to the NW as the crow flies.

Still dry with light cloud here at IB, the temperature is going up, now 13.0 degC with a slight breeze.

The NCMM opens at 10:00 (more time to drink tea & talk),  was thinking of taking a scenic (non-motorway) route, will post before I set off.

The scenic option for me would be duplicating our route so it'll be a quick 60 minute squirt up the M1.

Looks like the café is open from 09:00, https://www.ncm.org.uk/visitors/cafe-shop-and-picnic, that's breakfast sorted.

For anyone wishing to join us, we will be leaving the NCMM at 11:00.

Might have to do it the 'Hobbit' way and have 2 breakfasts. Off to have the first one and then take the dog a walk. See you later.

I'll be setting off around 08:00, with an ETA at the NCMM of 10:00 to 10:30, see you there.

My bike was clean when I set off, honest.

Good morning, Wet and windy here, as per usual on the edge of the Pennines! see you there at 10:30 

Have business in Sheffield this morning but may make a meet up at Castleton for 12.30 ish for a chat and brew. Have a good ride out!
