Hi guys!
As Trip said(we've been back and forth w/ e-mails), we plan a UK visit from the 14th of Feb, to the 2nd of March.
We figured since the 15th is a Friday eve, we should meet up. Do you guys get Saturdays off over there? Anyway, Ramada at N. Acton as he said, and if it's as Fuity says, I'll feel right at home!!LOL
We can't wait. First few day in London, then off to Brighton to see relitives, then to Wales, then ferry over to Dublin, back to Wales, and a few more days in London w/ daytrips to Stonehenge and Bath area(maybe) or the cliffs at Dover(haven't locked in yet).
I will say we will have ANOTHER weekend date in London on Friday the 29th, Saturday the 1st if anyone wants to meet up then!!
But we'll defineitly plan to meet Friday the 15th. I have Mr. Trip's cell phone number and will buzz him then.
Please e-mail me with tips and things to do!!!

Look for 'Stonebridge Park' underground on Bakerloo line (the bit that runs up to Harrow and Wealdstone) - or multimap / streetmap ... North Squircular Road
http://www.streetmap.co.u.....p=newsearch.srf
The Ace is just south of the station where all the yellow side roads run alongside the North Circ, just below the railway lines.
Or google ACE CAFE LONDON site

I'll check the dates for Brighton. We'll be there 21st and 22nd of Feb, but not 100% on that.

Aaron - when are you going to Dover?? Are you just going to see the white cliffs or the Castle??
If you want a castle with lots of history etc I would suggest also Leeds Castle near Maidstone:

I've filled the bike up, all my kit is ready.................................and.......................................................then my brother rings me to say that my Niece is doing her birthday thing TOMORROW the 15th and not the 16th (her birthday) as she is going away with friends. As she is basically the only living relative that I have got whom is younger than myself I tend to treat these things a bit special.
Bugger again.
Sorry Aaron, I was really gonna do this trip, perhaps I can do the Brighton meet instead?

Sorry I couldn't be there, Mark told me at the last minute Thursday night that we were going to Snowdonia, so that's where I was Friday morning until Sunday night.
If anyone's meeting up with Aaron somewhere else let me know and I'll see if I can get there, it's half term here this week so not tied.

Thanks for doing that Anne, oh yes it was lovely....bloody freeeeeeeeeeezing though lol Got all the routes planned.... oh, we will omit the running out of petrol bit though.
I ran out and just pulled the clutch in and glided for 3 miles.... thankfully it was all downhill, just as I stopped I saw a petrol garage to my left in Betwsy so Mark pushed me a few yards

Nice to mmeet Trip, Narna, Tonto, Jonnnie etc and put some faces to names and I think Aaron was impressed that we all came up obn bikes (oh except for Narna - but I understand that's par for the course).
