Ya big tart! You missed mine last year too.

I reckon Ton has been deported from Lancashire in the distant past and is never allowed to return... Probably for being in the possession of illicit Yarkshire credentials.

C'mon Ton theres 12 months in a year, so you're spending about a month apart most girls would love that much 'me time' so one more day won't hurt! Bet you're not that nice anyway ๐Ÿ˜‰

What do you reckon izakimak and lowey?

Ahem, seriously considering one of my mates suggestions.

Ride over to the meeting place (be an early start), ride with you guys to the Belmont Bull, then spend the rest of the day getting trashed on a Sunday Afternoon Sesh.

See how the ride pans out.

mm Dave now there is a surprise I will be walking the 6 foot from my moored boat to the meet you all may sail up to arrive in style as yet undecided.
I will do cakes and if people bring cups [and milk unless you want soya!] I can do brews for all. May even do a veggi chilli if I can really be bothered and enough interest Can heat up up a meat one if anyone wants to do one.
Nick I reckon it is better to meet over the other side at the Lock and Quay pub - now shut down - parking for 20-30 cars as Botany bay can be @rsey about people parking there.

Looking forward to this, some steep climbs there izakimak, glad to see there'll be some stuff I don't know and will be interesting to see how you link up the stuff I do know. Should dodge the sunday hoards that lowey loves so much too.

snowdon...7th...

Johnny you spoil us, cake and chilli i ain't to bothered wether it has meat in it or not just lots of chilli. I wasn't wasn't sure wether botany would get arsey about the parking it can be changed if need's. Sailing up is a grand idea cap'n.

Donk i would be surprised if you didn't know it all bar 1 short bit.

Right preston beer festival is calling bye.

i am Scottish so dont be mistaking me for one of them englanders despite the accent.
Chucky I am sailing there in my narrowboat so I dont need a lift - cant forget my bikes or essential parts and will have oddles of spare partst. Hence I can cook and things when we all get back. Cant moor near pub though so perhpas Botany is worth a chance???
Snowdon booked now when is the earliest train up?
