Quote: GSRalley Izzy is coming to the Barmouth camp why not ride down with her and meet a few of the strange folk from down south...
I'll actually be down south Wales the weekend before that with my MCC, so probably not a trip I'll be doing twice in a week sadly.

The meets/rideouts/camps can be arranged by any member in any area.
It's easy, pick a date & time, a destination, and advertise it in the forums, get it added to the events calendar and then sit back and watch. Members will stick their names on the event and comment on the forum. Arrange a rendezvous point if you want to travel together, if not, give a rough idea of time to meet at the destination. It's easy believe me, I've done it.
Speak to izzyhill she's in Hamilton and has arranged stuff before, I'm sure she can give you some pointers too.
Give it a whirl, what you got to lose?
Fair, but my comment was a genuine question. Not all of the events on the events page are organised by BM members as far as I can tell. There are a number of events hosted by the wider motorcycle industry, MCCs, etc., that BM members just happen to be involved with / go to? I've never been to a rally of any variety, the entire idea of them is somewhat terrifying when the only image you've ever seen of them is a bunch of drunk 50 year old blokes (no offense to the drunk 50 year old blokes, have at it!). I'm clearly not gonna travel 200, 400, whatever miles to be stranded at a potentially horrific experience of an event :P So genuinely, does nothing (regardless of BM affiliation) ever happen in the north? There's obviously TITG and the MCN Show at Ingleston, but legit never been aware of anything else? As it's "not my scene" that's maybe to be expected. I'd far rather dip my toe into a known, established event, properly organised by someone who knows what they're doing. If I just want out for a jolly, I can do that with my MCC :P
Going from the Fens and up the coast of the Wash I expect that the wind plays a part for the poor crow. 🐦 I couldn't find a black one so here is the lesser spotted Blue Crow

I can vouch for ya Jinx, stargazing, JD in hand, when I got up in the early hours to make use of the facilities at Barmouth camp. Although you weren't much help when I got lost on my way back to my tent! I thought you were The Night Watch.
Hi Hkeri08. New on the website also and having fun learning how to get around the site successfully without screwing up to many times. Getting fed up with all the rain showers this week and cheating by using four wheels some of the time to bike meetings in my area of Norfolk. The flatlands around here can be fun with dodgy roads and canals on both sides to fall into. Enjoy yourself.
