I'm now worried that I embarrass myself with my riding and never get asked back.
The car park is a bit remote!! Driving in last week, there was a bloke sat in his car, he looked like he was going top himself and then I stepped out the car and nearly stood on a condom, nice!
Don't worry Quirrel, I'll be crashing all over the place (nothing new!), kids had me up at 1, 2:30 & 5:30!!!
Won't get tonight for sure just finished nights an hour ago, have the youngest all day and then eldest swimming lessons at Amble at 5.30, back here for 6ish then have a dog to walk by then I'll be a walking zombie.
Christ that's hardcore!
Agh hope we can get there - on BBC Newcastle saying exclusion zone around Rothbury about that nutter with the gun.
He best not go to Thrunton and mess the trails up!
Nowt on Beeb website.
If he does go to Thrunton he best not tell his mates or some on here will be upset.
bbc radio newc and sky news twitter - some of your mates in village centre apparently in fast response ambulances etc as they have set up an incident room in village centre.
Ooh interesting it'll be the new HART team chaps.
Oh yeah Sky news mentions it and says Police have asked people to avoid the area but fails to say where.
DOH! Now it does.
Ooh there's goes the Police chopper.
/waves.
Edit: Oooh it's hovering near by.
/puts little one back in house.
he had 2 hostages - they were found with his car in Rithbury but he is still missing - MAD!
If he does go to Thrunton he best not tell his mates or some on here will be upset.
If he does turn up at Thrunton it's obviously because of all you gobshytes banging on about it on here. Now the place is going to get blown up and shot at, then probably burned down. Well done; I hope you're all very pleased with yourselves.
Do you think he will bring hardtail or full fuss, he will be on here next - what tyres for a Thrunton getaway!
I wonder if he'll ride the new trails or the old ones?
Hope he gets permission from the trail builders...only joking Three_Fish...... 🙂
Whose bringing the bombers to own him with? I've only got Fox and they will never do against such a man.
I'll drop my spares off on my way to swimming lessons if you want. One careful Owner! 😆
I thought he was up in Hexam yesterday after the police went flying up the A69 in the morning and the A68 was blocked.
Going to have a word with the fella if he stops my first excursion out to Thrunton tonight.
"Oi! You! Beefcake! Will you please stop running and have the final showdown. One wants to go for a ride tonight and you are causing roadblocks."
BBC New Cam is right along the old line now they police are searching an abandoned farm. The lives pics are taking me back to the SAS siege on the Iranian Embassy.
Looks like he went to Cragside for the day?
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 .
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?

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.
