1 place left....

Only a week to go so some final pieces of info from me.

I wont be arriving until late Friday night so if I dont see anyone then let arrange to meet at the campsite entrace for an 0845 depart Saturday morning.

Like Ive previously posted there will be no fuel on the route (we didnt pass any open fuel stations last time) so make sure you have plenty of fuel. Lets say min 100 miles for the ride plus whatever you will need to get to a fuel station on the way home. There is fuel in Pickering and Whitby. No idea where else though.

Take plenty of fluid, again no idea where there are shops although they will be easier to find in villages than fuel.

We will aim to stop "somewhere" for lunch, cafe, pub or shop. Whatever we can find en route. But Ill be taking grub just incase. This is the wilds of Yorkshire after all......and as the planned muddy bits will be in the morning we may be a while getting through these sections.

Looking forward to it.

No worries Stu, thanks for letting me know. Timcat has now taken your place.

Have fun at the beach racing and let us know how your son gets on.
