Just got back from Dent after a thoroughly good weekend.
Put some cheap handlebar muffs on the SRX as the DR is not working yet. Also made a bracket for the GPS, so with the harness for the heated jacket already on I was 'Toasty' warm and dry as I used my Goretex jacket instead of the Leather one.
Got to Dent about six-ish in the dry and met up with a couple from Huddersfield MAG! whom I did recognise as I have been to a couple of their meets up here in a local pub. Tent up and down to the pub for an evening meal and lashings of beer. Another couple pitched up later on that evening, (I knew the young woman as she owns an SRX as well!)and a good time was had by all.
Up to Mick and Wendy's farmhouse in the morning (Sat') for brekkie but he had not got provisiions in so a bacon buttie and a mug of tea had to suffice.
Had a nice ride over to Sedburgh for some beer tokens then over to Hawes for lunch then over to Devils bridge and back to the site in mainly rain but very quiet roads and very few bikes out.
More of the MAG group arrived in the late afternoon, some of them I also recognised, small world innit!, to swell their ranks to about 12. We all headed up to the pubs for an evening meal and a right good evening, did I mention loads of beer?
Sat night was a Gale with heavy rain and two of their contingent got very wet overnight, but Wendy let them use her Hanging frame to try and dry their gear out.
Sunday morn we all shoehorned into the Farmhouse kitchen for a full breakfast and lashings of tea. Rain in the morning as I packed up but set off in the dry and got home late afternoon.
A good time was had by all, made some new acquantances.
I have spoken to Wendy and will be booking the site this next week, will keep you all posted.

PS I also hope to go back to Dent again before the end of the year.
Anyone else doing any meets in the near future?
