One cafe I can recommend is "The Nook" near Alston, it's at a Roman fort if you don't mind walking up a hill to see the old earthworks.

I am really sorry I can't make this one as I love the roads up there, reading the Ride guide earlier reminded me of it as it mentions Alston.

Two hours south on motorways, I'm easy but not that easy.

Not going to be accurate yet, but as a guide, it's not looking great weather-wise for next weekend.

Sounds good to me, might help shift the hangover from Thursdays work drinks Image

Have you drawn straws on who is sharing with me yet? I don't want to worry you, but Cornish tried to suffocate me with a pillow after about 3 hours! :D

The double rooms cost a fair bit more than the twins. ;)

I would get more sleep riding home each day than sharing with a snorer.

Cookie and myself have agreed to share a room as neither of us are deviants and we both snore :D

The costs are £257 split between two for a twin room or £237 if you wish to take a double room for yourself. This includes breakfast on both days but not the evening meals.

Can i ask the rest of you to sort it out fairly amongst yourselves?

Just got back, absolutely knackered, but what a cracking few days.

Great company, good food, amazing roads and only one “lack of talent” moment.

Best of all, nobody died!

I really enjoyed that. Thanks everyone. Especially Duke for organising and Monty for doing some leading.
