HI All,

and when you zoom into the map it looks pretty big.
I've pestered my husband ian to take me as i've never been on a rally before Sad

( yes sad I know ) plus it will be our 1st wedding anniversery so I'm hoping it will be a good do. Wink

See you all there
Laura

The new site is alongside the A688 at Streatlam
between Staindrop and Barnard Castle.

One part of that site tells me 'no tickets - no entry' another part of the site says tickets on gate for bikes or trikes only. So which is it?

Hi, it means you can't buy tickets on the gate unless you are riding a bike/trike as no pedestrians are allowed in on foot.

Right OK. Didn't want to turn up and have to turn around because I didn't have tickets.

I'll be there, unfortunately not on the slabby as it is still in bits (one bloody hitch after another Mad

)

So I'll be on this...

Should be an 'emotional' ride up the A1 - two up!! Laughing

Can't wait, it'll be the biggest rally I've been to this year where I'm not working and missing most of the fun Thumbs Up

What a bastard. Fucking roads are hideous, took me 35 mins to commute the 10 mins home. My lass has covered 5 mins of M1 in 45 mins, so will no way get here for a reasonable time for us to set off Mad

Gonna try to get up there tomorrow morning instead, weather will still be wank but at least there will be fewer agitated, tired, impatient drivers all trying to get home...

I wanted to see the Thin Lizzy tribute too Crying or Very sad

They shut the rally down at about 10.30 on the saturday morning. I think it was something to do with the medics lost their clean/safe working conditions due to the mud/rain and were unable to resolve sorting somewhere clean to work.
Judging by the photos I've seen, I can understand why. There's quite an active thread going on at the 100% Biker magazine forums on this.
