Unfortunately, my better half has just broke her ankle after walking Ben Lomond, medi-vac'd out by helicopter and everything.

Now in fresh plaster.

Probably not a good time to leave and come camping, but we'll see.

Not sure I'm going to be able to make it this year now.
My Wife Anna's Dad had a heart attack on Friday night so she has gone down to Wales to help look after her Mother who isn't to agile. Long story but she had Leukemia a few years ago and hasn't got much use of her left side and had a fall a couple of weeks ago and broke her right arm and shoulder so now struggles to walk as she uses a stick.

Martin if I am unable to make it I will square you up for the camping when I see you on Wednesday if you are still coming to pick up the parts.

Absolutely gutted if I can't make it but Family comes first.

Well i`m very happy to say i`ve got the whole day there as i`m riding over on Friday a/noon with my lad on pillion and staying at my bruv`s place Friday and Saturday night just over near Raf Coningsby.Got to incorporate the rear indicators into either side of the rear light so i can use the throwovers and my lad can still put his feet on the pegs.Always wanted to do that any way.
It`s looking to be a bloody good do this :thumbsup: :dance:
NOTE; bikes do not have air brakes,lofting the front wheel will have an effect on a bikes braking efficiency.
dont arf get the adrenalin pumpin tho!!!

I live a couple of miles away from Hebden Bridge, thankfully higher up the hill of the Calder Valley.....how much heavy rain do you fancy swapping Vass? Sure we could do a nice deal in some of your sunshine :)
