Yeah, we can do. Which way do you come up? That junction takes us off route. It might be easier to meet around Tamworth way is north of Birmingham and on the route

Didn't realise it would be off route. I can meet anywhere really Kwacky but I don't know the area, all I'd need is a postcode really

Put me down for this one, I've had to ask Jase to work the Saturday for me but he's on holiday in lanzarote and I didn't want to hassle him while he's away but he owes me a few favours.
I get knocked down but i get up again.

How long will it take you to get there? Just wondering as you've got a decent journey before you get to Buxton. It'a about an hour and a half from Tamworth to Buxton.

Yep, I realise that but we've got a couple of local guides. I'm hoping people will move their caravans and the like on the Friday.

I'm still considering doing the Ducati trackday on the Tuesday afterwards and will probably be at WSBK sometime over the weekend so it depends on other things at the moment.

Kwacky to get to that post code it will take around 2 hours so I would be leaving around 7 to get to you for around 9. Would a 9 am meet be ok or is that too late?

Identical bike with an older rider. You'll be quicker than me by the end of the day.

It's an easy run to the meeting point from Tamworth.

If anyone is arriving early for breakfast let me know and I'll point you in the right direction. There's a couple of good cafes a few minutes walk from the Crescent.
