   And I'd call Thrunton off.

   http://www.northumbria.police.uk/details.asp?id=29205

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

   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).

    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.

    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.

    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?

24. toons - Member

    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

    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.

    Posted 1 year ago #
28. Stumpi - Member

    Wheels or knickers. Oh how true.

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

    Hi Guys,

    I've been to Thrunton a few time now and have found some really good trails by rummaging around but don't know where the famous crag trails are. Could anyone give me a name on the map, pointer and/or a grid reference please? I can't really get out for group rides as I work random hours/days so help for solo navigation much appreciated!

    Ta,

    P
