Sunday 30th June

Could be up for this Simon, where exactly is Hartside ?

It's sought of towards Weardale then head west. You get very high up in the mountains! By the time you get down the other side you're not far from Penrith. A stop at the bottom is essential to cool the brakes. I went up there for the first time in January and have to say its the best road I have ever driven on. It is awesome Jonny!

Nobody fancy this? Be a great day, awesome roads.

Only me then ! I'll meet up with you somewhere to travel to Darlo

Could fancy this too! I'm off that weekend, depends on weather though :lol:

Yes! I agree with that Nick. Weather is key, not going if its pouring down. After the last visit earlier this year I cannot wait to get up there again. I'll try not to cook my brakes again mind!

Yep, that would be great Jonny!

Getting a good crowd on 197.net attending now. I think there is a guy staying in Darlington the night before with a 250 too!

Staying in Darlo ? Where's he coming from ?!?!

Middlesex I think.

Hey guys are newbies welcome?

Hey guys are news welcome?

He's keen!!!

I thought that too!

He's booked the hotel! Now there's commitment!

You say it's not far from Penrith? On a 20 min ride out for me! Could be interested in this.

About 15 miles Ric. Once you've been, you'll want to keep going back, just fun fun and more fun!
