Derbyshire Rideout AKA The Devils Arse - names please

First topic message reminder :

Having just been to Castleton, we realised what an awesome place it would be for a rideout.

The roads around (if you find the right ones) are superb and of course the views stunning.

There are 6 pubs, all with accommodation, great beer and food.

There are B&B's, YHA, and camping nearby.

It's very much like Bishops Castle.

Just a feeler really, maybe mid September or could wait till next year? I think it's less heavily policed in this area and a great place for a pub crawl.

Give me your thoughts peeps, I've never lead a rideout before so please be gentle with me.

Ellie


Nick & Ellie both nights & food.

Cheep accommadation would have to be the order of the day or i'll ride up and back in the same day.

Found a potential clash - 05/06/07 is BSB at Donington.   

I am in Germany 4-7 September, so looks like I'm out for this year.

We'll all just have to camp in the back of your Mansion and start the rideout from there.

Crackin' idea John . . . You know . . . I think I've got an old Army 18' x 24' somewhere
 

I'd be up for the ride out only if it's this year, buggered holiday wise and got too much else on this year now (family hol, TOL, build new workshop, populate new workshop, resto RGV).

Am a definite yes though in some respect.

Same here if bikes in a rideable state which I think it will be, ill be up for the ride out if its this year, perhaps the sleep over next year.

Right -

Fri/Sat 26th/27th September there are 3 x 6 bedded rooms available at the YHA in Castleton which is £129 a night for each room, on top of that they do Breakfast for £4.95 each.

Its a gorgeous YHA, recently renovated with sitting areas and ample parking, and within easy walking distance of the pubs in Castelton.

Only downside is that I cant reserve them, you pay when you book. If you want to book the YHA please go ahead ASAP.

There are also other smaller rooms available for friday night only.

There are Ample B&B's in Castleton and the Cheshire Mews (today) has availabilty for 14, over the road from the pub and ample off road parking.

Could I please have definite names (as soon as possible) so I can let you know exactly the plan, how much to pay etc, and get booked.

Accomodation in Castelton gets snapped up so If I dont get it booked I may have to rearrange for next year.

I will have to do a feasibility study to see whether I can make this........

Big fat maybe from me, should be at home but Katie will be 8 mths by then so might not get a pass out.....

8 months, be fine, she's still got 4 weeks to go....  

Please can I put my name down for this weekend. Meals and accommodation required. Thank you.

We shall be there for the ride out and the meal on Saturday. Not need any accommodation as we will be having the boy from the evening onwards so need to be back at home for the night.

Rideout only for me please Ellie

I'm hoping to be a big maybe for this, no I'm missing ToL.
Will depend on cost of accommodation really for me

Oki Doki . . . Stick me down for the festivities (Fri & Sat), and one 'O' thay YHA bunk bed spaces please   
Although the "Y" is stretching it a bit in my case  
If you need dosh for the booking of room/bunk space, please PM me a PayPal account to transfer the groats to

Double up with Mark pal, he isn't as bad as his wife makes out ya knows!

Right lovely people....

Accomodation is first come, first served.

PLEASE BOOK YOUR OWN

Nick & I are booked in at the Cheshire Mews, and its £65 a night, They also have 2 further rooms available which can sleep 3-5 people with sofa beds etc, so would spread the cost.

If you ring Ken on 07977998881, tell them your part of Ellies bike group, he'll book you in, He only took a card swipe from me and he said we can pay when we get there.
