Manchester and North West 2021

Morning folks,

So Pete did the reccy mid week and we confirm it’s Two Hoots cafe,11:30.

Setting off at 09:00 , meet at the BP garage,south of Chester on the A483, post code CH4 9DQ.

Weather forecast is changing almost hourly, looks fair at the moment but waterproofs maybe the option methinks

Update on the Lockgate is promising, Laura now awaiting the kitchen fit out,seems the structural stuff is done, maybe October ?

Those of us who took a chance on the weather this morning were rewarded with a great run down to two hoots, no rain but some stretches of wet road, worth the punt for sure.

Thanks to Col,Chris and Pete for your company once again, nice to see another of Peter’s collection, this time the Royal Enfield interceptor . In Petes words “ a new,old bike “

Until next time folks

Excellent run out, bang on 300 miles for the round trip. Thanks to Mike and Colin for an enjoyable day and to Peter for finding another good watering hole

Well, after deliberation and influenced by fuel availability and a bad weather forecast October’s meet will be the second Sunday of October in the hope both situations will improve!

Pete is reserving a table at the Bickerton poacher,10:00 am Sunday 10th.

The lock gate remains closed,poor Laura has issues with completing the refit and all her original staff have found alternative employment !, she says recruitment is going well and hopes to open by the end of this month…..not been a good year for her.

Keep smiling…….

As our permanent home is not re opening until 8th November , well done Laura,it’s been a long road!, we are once again spreading our custom around the North West

Tomorrow we meet at the Brandreth Barn tea room before heading off into the trough of Bowland.

Weather is “ish” for the time of year, suspect thermals maybe a wise choice, meeting at ten, see any brave souls there,
