  if a number of us do decide to visit,we must choose a pub and time to meet,

 the bikes are likely to be well scattered

That's a bit of a downer John. I'll be going on my trusty VFR, getting some more practice in for another IAM observed ride next week.

I passed to The IAM car test recently. It's well worth doing - I plan to move into the bike version next year.

If anybody's going, do you know of a rendezvous point to hook up? Im still up for it if others are. I dont mind going to spots on me own but it would be nice to see a few from the forum there?
I'll be on the tired VFR but flying the CB flag mentally ;D

Good idea Roo, I've never been there so unable to suggest somewhere but more than happy to meet up if someone who knows the area has any ideas.
