cut and paste from that site


hi all
don't know if any of you read the motor cycle news but their having a big meet in protest at the way the north wales police are treating bikers
from what the mcn says they are stopping around 400 bikes a weekend
just to #### us of and drive us out of wales,other police forces have said that this is a bit heavy handed,they only stop 1000 a year, some police riders have said they will be joining the meet
MCN are urging all bike riders to invade north wales on the 12 sept.
they want every one to meet up at the ponderosa cafe at the top of the horseshoe pass at 12 noon.
then there's a mass ride to the national park later
this is open to all bikers what ever you ride,so make the time to go and let the north wales police we won't be treated like this.


it'll be nice to put a face to some of the regular names and have a chinwag about our cats/aces(i'll be on a red/black 98 cat with a red yamaha jacket on)
see ya there

incase anyone is planning on going on this its on the 13 not the 12 of September

ramblers get everywhere, its thier right

Rambling in the dales is a different thing from climbing a mountain, they seem to forget that sometimes.

It's not possible to climb Ben Nevis in the winter with only a wooly jumper and a thermos flask of tea as added protection, but some of them try...

news papers have a lot to answer for, anything for a headline.

TBH, the teams away from the honeypot areas like Llanberis or Ogwen spend as much time doing Police missing person jobs now. Mainly because we do it a lot better than the police ever can...

Ramblers have kind of shot themselves in the foot with the image they have let grow around themselves. There are plenty of mountaineers who also ramble around the Dales. There are also a few who go laning! But the red-sock brigade shout loudest etc...

But the teams are getting busier, this winter Snowdon took way more than it's usual share of lives...
