"As for the weather, I reckon Geoff (GJS) ought to comment, as before the weekend he regarded himself as a fair weather rider, whereas now, he is a fully fledged scubabiker "
Well as I'm still wet behind the ears ( from dent ) in so far as meets Go . I think you would be hard pressed to find a place to be as good as dent is for a meet. The over all location is fantastic . The Area you are in has wonderful sights. The Camp-site has everything you need ,shop, food close by toilets etc. The local village is on the door step with two very good pubs for food and accommodation for those who want it. Very friendly locals, other camper's and the site management (even thou some moaned about the owner more in jest I felt ) The Beer for those (bonnie included I think that post earlier was from an imposter ! cause the bonnie I saw was a bit of fish and there was plenty of fish there.) would be hard to follow. But the main reason is the rides out. You can't do better than around that area. That's what I went for and got . If the weather was dry you couldn't get better ones I feel . I for one would have stayed the Sunday morning and gone for a ride out before heading home. I did find the weather hard to ride in but feel that it was well worth it. But I have only gone the once so may feel different after a few years. As for the south I do think you might find it hard to get the full package that is at dent ( look at the photos that I took which show the full package) Unless you go deeper south from me. But as I said, not that great on bike meetings and rides .So they might be some more out there somewhere. I shall go to dent again next year or where ever the meet is hopefully. But the weather who can say, when and where it will be fine.

Just one thing I ask does anybody know where I can get a sound proof tent please.
