That camera footage is surreal.

My wife works at Alnwick school and they have Rothbury kids there that wont be going home for a while unless they get him soon.

There was a window cleaner on radio at the Thrunton cross roads saying the moor road was closed but it sounded like the A697 was clear.

Not too sure about going into Thrunton later though.

Probably why he robbed the chippy.

Bloody National Trust are a bunch of robbers themselves

Drac

You fancy a ride tomorrow, I'm up for two days and should be able to make a fairly early one all things being equal, then down to Durham for an early Friday meeting.

Wheres good to ride there?

Looks like they are raiding a old farm on my bro's ex girl friends farm. They seemed to have took their time shutting everything down as everybody knew about it early in the morning.

The woman reported the car at 9 last night according to her on BBC news but nothing happened till this morning….odd.

Possibly Stumpi looking at sorting something with a friend who's in the area but not heard back yet.

GEDA yeah was trying to work out which one it was thought it along the line towards Pauperhaugh. Apparently it was one of the Arkle's who spotted his car this am and it next to their yard.

Just listened to the report, she didn't bother reporting it last night or rather didn't associate it.

Ah that makes more sense then.

It looks as though its more towards the Middle School and Brinkburn Priory area than towards the North or the village itself.

IMO hes headed the wrong way – should have gone west into Simonside and out towards Otterburn.

It's a farm SE on the road to The Gate iirc.

Found it .

Google Maps

And I'd call Thrunton off.

I know chances are slim but could cause hassle for already stressed Police.

that looks like the one Drac – i was looking at a one near the river a bit more NE of that one.

Is Thrunton off then?

Anybody fancy Chopwell instead?

If the A697 is still open, then let's ride?

Shall we postpone this till Thursday?

Fingers crossed they find Rambo by Thursday evening.

I'm ready to go now.

Not too worried about Rambo. Although with my day-glo orange jacket I will be the easiest target.

It'll be open but probably closed at moor house to traffic to Rothbury. Given thrunton covers the edge of their hunt do you really want to put extra pressure on the police by riding there. You could just wait or ride elsewhere.

I'm off around Chopwell then.

Before it pees down.

Any day is good for me otherwise.

Just driven down the A697 – spotted a couple of non police cars on the Thrunton access road, so would guess it would be still open. But might be worth avoiding the area – passed loads of police heading north.

Let me know if its rearranged – Lee (Orange Five in Clockwork colours).

Rode tonight and damn fine it was too.
Will be up again tomorrow eve and Hamsterly Thursday if anyone fancies it..

Great fun it was. Impressed with the riding and the company.

Sadly Rambo didn't make an appearance. I was half hoping for him to wrestle my bike from me and make off on it.

Still sorting new flat out, will be out riding more next week.. Tuesday or Thursday? and what time would suit?

Well I bloody loved that. Thrunton Rocks, Quality banter, Top Night 🙂

Quirrel, just like in the film when he takes that motorbike, lol

@leeph, you the chap that we bumped into at the top of Coe Crag with the helmet cam?

High Rez

Thanks

A nice side profile of my gut. Next time it's either going to be gone or I will cling film up before the ride.

lol

@toons. Yep thats me – you on a white five?

I bet he snook into you Camelbacks when you stopped.

Toons on a five! Lol, he'll have been on a 5 but an orange, never 😉

You guys up there thursday night?

leeph I'm on the White five. you emailed me the vid.

toons was with me that day we found you guys, he had silver 5spot.

nodrog – yep for thurs.

Going to try to make Thursday too.

That Orange 5 in retro colours looks quality.

Cannot make this Thursday – but up for a spin next Thursday?

Toons – loved the CB wheels – spoke to John about a set (LBS Hexham), yours seem solid now?

That was Ollie's bike! White 5 spot with CB wheels, he loves them.

Will let you know next week.

Nice pic Toons, it almost looks like I'm posing, which of course I'm not! 🙂

Anyone out tonight? Will be up there between 5 n 6 and will be on a carbon Stumpy if you wanna say hi.

Toons, reckon I'll do two laps of our ride last night, that should set me up for a good nights sleep

Nice pic Toons, it almost looks like I'm posing, which of course I'm not!

I thought you were. Obviously I am as well. The hardened biker at the top of the hill. Moobs on show.

Just coughed up for that FS frame. Now on the hunt for forks. and most likely a decent solicitor for the divorce.

Quirrel – anything with tyres or knickers is expensive to run.

Wheels or knickers. Oh how true. 🙂

The Toras will work for now on the Enduro. You won't regret that purchase Dave!

Stumpi how did you get on last night?

I can't make Thrunton tonight.

Anyone at Thrunton tonight for the great Moat hunt?
