Morning Weekenders !

OK so now we are "Game on" and things can start moving towards a great and healthy weekender.

I could not reach Donna yesterday, she has just been telling me about the abuse she was getting when trying to explain the restrictions still in place to wedding parties who couldnt understand they could have more than 30 guests but still cant dance together !!!!!

No such problems with us ....I hope !!

She is playing a blinder and has already got a plan for the BBQ on Sunday and arranged the alfresco outside area for sunday too, fair play.

I have agreed with her that we only need to pay 50% of your room now and 50% on departure, hope thats ok with everyone. Feel free to pay the full amount if you want to !!
When you call the Hotel ask for Rebecca and quote "payment for Ducati Weekend, arranged with Donna ",

Hotel Phone number is 01229 838282

As we know this will be a little bit different from previous weekenders but I am sure we will do our best !

Plan for Saturday is to have a ride out across some cracking roads taking in Cumbria and West Yorkshire along the way.

The focal point will be the wensleydale creamery at Hawes, there is a café on site and we can arrange a visit to see the cheese being made (subject to restrictions). They are not taking bookings at the moment so I suspect this will be an "on the day" thing.

We will leave the Hotel and head for Devils Bridge, a well know Bikers meeting spot. From there to Hawes, do a bit of cheese appreciation (cheese gromit!

) then onto Kirkby stephen ,Tebay, Kendall and back to the Hotel .

All of which we will discuss with you all on the Friday !

more to follow soon, stay safe folks.

Yesterday I received the mail I had been waiting for confirming that we are good to visit the Ravenglass to Eskdale miniature railway.

This was a suggestion made by Dacs and I am pleased to confirm it’s our Sunday destination, plan is to have a tour of the engine shed then a trip on the train to Eskdale and back.

Phew, nearly there, COVID eh !

Not sure how long, if at all, you would be stopping in Kendall, but it has (had?) a crackin' Italian restaurant that I could probably find again.
The Castle is worth a look, it's a nice high open space overlooking the town with stunning views with a fair bit of the castle still remaining.

Inspiring video of a funeral cortege here, which ends up in Kendal. Gives you an idea of the countryside. Nothing like it for bringing folk together, but I don't mind if I don't ride another anytime soon!

Morning Gaz, to be honest the thought of leading a posse of Ducati through Kendal town centre on a Saturday afternoon didn’t appeal!

We will be avoiding The town centre mate, you will have to buy some famous mint cake at a gift shop

Mr Gazza · 20-06-2021, 11:43 AM

Ha ha. No worries, you should try riding across London on a hot gridlocked midsummer's Saturday night in a posse of Ducatis..

Out of interest, what's the furthest any attendee has to travel to Barrow?

Definitely not me @ 150 miles!

Nice one Duncan, I got a new front on Saturday, what did you go for ? I am on Michelin power rs but they are phasing them out so have to change next time around!
