WRT original weekend (Fri 8th & Sat 9th May) back garden camp out

[Sussex Paul]

I hadn't signed up for WRT this year, but this sounds like a great idea. Anyone looking for someone to partner up with to pick GRs? I'm in Haslemere, Surrey

No 1 hour limit

I ride along past point 3 (SP 382388) yesterday! Great fast gravel track.
Can’t imagine what caught your eye at point 2 (SP 344382)

good mix of the familiar and the un then hopefully

nice steep downhill, a spring to refill from and a bonus hydraulic ram

Hmmm... yeh, I can't find what I was looking for, this gives more guidance, but doesn't stipulate it either... https://www.gov.scot/publications/minis ... -covid-19/

EDIT:
Here on Scot Gov wrt quote by Prof Leitch https://www.gov.scot/news/public-urged-to-stay-at-home/

But it's not my intention to derail this thread, so as above #Rule1

Aye. The guy that said we shouldn't be mountain biking.

There's personal opinion and official guidance. I'm going with the latter.

Now - time for me to go back to the top of this thread to understand what's going on....

[RIP]

Remember I'm technologically-challenged John, so I've just asked Bob to simply list me a load of GR's within 6 miles of my gaff with no restrictions (except RoW) and then I'll find and plot them. Obv people can use gmaps etc too but if I'm forced to I'll just have a girly faint . For normal WRT we'd have to find/plot - 'tis part of the fun.

Also remember peeps this is WRT so you don't have to go to any of them! Admittedly it would be very spoilsporty if you didn't for John's event though of course .

PS. Bob, having said no restrictions on mine, remember to stick one in the middle of the canal or quarry lake or it wouldn't be a proper set of WRT GR's .

I reckon S8 7BD with a radius of 5 miles should be good for me if anyone fancies sending me on a domesticated-goose-chase. Happy to use the lockdown rules of "on foot" to open up footpaths...

Anyone else want to sign up and look for a partner?

It's free, no prizes, no cake, you don't have do all or any of the grid refs.

TBH, I'l be out early and home for 11am before the Bank Holiday cyclists hit the trails after their breakfasts

[Bearlegged]

no cake

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????????

[RIP]

to understand what's going on....

That's very optimistic Colin, this is BBB .

Of course there's got to be cake!! That's not a John rule is it surely? I'm bloody well having [DF]LDC or I'm not playing! This is WRT for goodness sake .

[JohnClimber]

I hope Stuart joins in....

We'd have some fun picking his bloody Grid Refs

Yeah, we're a couple

[Taylor]

Too many rules john.
Could have just used, "Don't be a dick".

[JohnClimber]

Great idea!

We are close to Lothersdale which is to the SW of Skipton if anyone wants to come up with some Grid Refs for us. Don't know of any dubious spots (ahem) other than Keighley which is best avoided anyway

I've dropped you a message to do your's and I'm on with it, I
'll message you with your 10 Grid Ref's this evening.
What sort of radius do you want to travel out from home please?

[JohnClimber]

Too many rules john.

Ok i'll edit it

It never occurred to me I could go down it

No partner yet, open to offers.

Never forget he picks the refs for WRT, BB200 and winter event

[Moder-dye]

Billy-no-mates here doesn't have a partner, that's why I posted my address ZE1 0TT and plan as a hint for anyone to take up...

Me?

Me?

Go on then, I assume you don’t have a pack raft?

No and we've already had a couple of people had the Coast Guard called out on them for no reason here by people wanting to cause bother

Ping me your location and working radius and I'll do my worst

Cheers, Kevin

[JohnClimber]

Just waiting for Reg to send me back my grid refs

Just emailed Whitestone his 10 Grid Ref's with a bonus one out off Flambrough Head

Anyone else what to join up?

[Moder-dye]

I've decided I'm not going to be doing my ride fully loaded as I'll stand out here, and people will get the wrong idea thinking I'm out touring. I'll leave the camp gear at home.

Hopefully that doesn't exclude me, but I'll do the ride and get some pics and video of the locations any way.

Anyone else what to join up?

I hadn't entered the WRT as I should have been in Scotland. So as I'm not going there am I allowed to not go to Wales instead?

I'll need a grid ref buddy if anybody has yet to pair up?

[Sussex Paul]

Sussex Paul and Landslide please can you message each other to sort out both of your grid refs or dots on you maps?

Sounds good to me
