Don't ask me why I do this because I really don't know but it's been playing on my mind for a while now. Also, that GIT Sojournermike posted
A Grand Day Out which set me thinking even more.
On top of this I really do expect 2018 to be my soloist swansong and would like to get a few miles in before hanging up my spd's and letting down my tyres!
I'm offering a comprehensive programme of three, yes three cycle camping weekends in 2018.
Friday 11th to Sunday 13th May: Long Itchington.
This weekend falls a month or so after YACF celebrates ten years in existence I believe. Further, that Velomancer Torslanda has been pedaling his alternative path for five years now, and, as I said above, Sojournermike is clearly looking for A Grand Day Out.
My plan is to have a 60 miler on the Saturday covering many of those wonderful country lanes in the film and, if all goes to plan, a very special lunch stop in Naseby. I'm not asking for a skillshare, just a mammoth gathering to celebrate 10 years of YACF, 5 years of Velomancering and a really good bike ride. If anybody wants to do a skillshare though, please let me know.
Friday July 6th to Sunday July 8th and Friday 7th September to Sunday 9th September:
A weekend in Wing, Rutland and a weekend in Silverdale, Lancashire. I'm erring on the Silverdale weekend in September after the summer rush and hopefully in grand late summer weather. Both weekends will be free format so bring a bike and ride if you want to.
I will need early notice of the Silverdale weekend in particular and if we have enough takers we might be able to get the separate groups field.
So, bung down your thoughts and I'll drop by on a regular basis to see what interest there is.
