Caribbean Feb 2011
Just thought I'd pop a few snaps on the Blog from our Trip to the Caribbean in Feb2011. We had booked up Jan 2010 for the cruise on P&O Venture this was Basically our Honey moon as in 1985 we never got one, so we treated ourselves on our 25th Wedding anniversary.
We flew Manchester to Barbados then set sail for Bonaire, Aruba, Jamaica, Grand Turk, St Maarten, St Lucia, Antigua, Domonique then back to Barbados.
Honda Shadow on Bonaire.
Yes & we had rain but it soon dried up.
Me & the Tour Bus on Aruba.
Our little ship at Grand Turk, sorry Big Luxury Liner LOL.
The wife & I posing on the Beach, then not long after this shot, Yes it rained...again.

Woooosh I managed to get out !!!!!!!!
Well I would not have believed it, after it rained all night at home, we (Ashley & Me) managed to get out today and got wet only by the Spray from other cars on route.
Left home at 8.30am ish tank up then headed off to Squires Cafe again Via Selby.
I had not actually planned a lot of miles as I was supposed to be playing a round of Golf at 1pm with some mates but upon getting to Squires looked at my mobile to see a few missed calls (the Golf was cancelled) that's a shame coz then I had to spend all day on the Bike YAHOO...
So unleashed to the roads we set off for Kirkby Lonsdale again, but this time we went up the M1/A1(M) to Boroughbridge, The City Of Ripon & then along the back roads to Leynburn. Picked up the A684 (not the best road in the UK) for Hawes, stopped for some pic's the in to Sedburgh before the Dark Clouds caught up with us.
Once we got to Devils Bridge @ K'Lonsdale, just ordered a cuppa & the rain came, sheltered from the rain with the Bike and took some more pic's some of a Biker Group called 'Satans Slaves' England' make of that what u like.
The Sky still looked a bit Iffy so we decided to make a Dash for the A65 back East passing Skipton,Ilkley,Otley then back on the A1(M) at Wetherby to make a Dash for the Hein Gericke shop in Doncaster before they closed at 4pm, arrived just in the Nick of time to purchase my new Leather Trousers that I had ordered last week, O yes they fit & handed over the C/Card and then off home 234 miles approx today.
Roll on next Sunday, Me & my eldest son Gareth are going down to The Ace Cafe in that there London weather permitting.
Today's route can be seen at the bottom of this post.....

1.May.2011
And another nice day, April was brill so lets hope May & June are as good.
Met up with Phil again today on a Pre-France tip out, I ended up clocking 297.2 miles in total, you should be able to see the route on the map @ the bottom of this post. We had good weather all apart from the wind which seemed to get Stronger & Stronger as the day went on, I must admit I was glad to get back as the Wind was starting to make riding very uncomfortable.
Phil worked out that we had been in South Yorkshire,North Yorkshire,West Yorkshire,Cumbria,Lancashire,Cheshire,Derbyshire loads of different County's.
After we met up in my town of Doncaster, we headed up to Squires Cafe then on to Kirkby Lonsdale where we had breakfast & took some snaps.
Next we headed for Lancaster then shot down the A6 to Preston where we joined the M65/M61 which took us down towards Manchester on to the M60 ring Motorway then that led us over to Macclesfield and on to our final destination The Cat & Fiddle (a pub at the top of the world).
From here we rode down the big hill in to Buxton then Ashbourne, we separated there & Phil went back to his home in Burntwood near Cannock, I headed over to Derby, Mansfield and back home.
At the petrol station early Sunday morning.
Phil at Squires Cafe.
Phil in the back ground & another rider thought he'd get in on the shot LOL.
2 shots of from the The Old Bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale.
Spot the balded headed rider or the Bikes ?.
Well what can I say 'Triumph Rocket'.
At the 'Cat & Fiddle', or is it the top of the world ????
Phil pointing at ? whatever!!!!!
And me, well just posing...

Sun's out So it's Time to Play ( O yes)
My mate Phil had a wee trip out today from Burntwood where he lives, approx 90 miles he told he did today, we're planning a little trip in a few weeks to get some more miles under our Belt's before France.
Jill & I had a little Jolly Jaunt out on the Bike today, 1st time we've been out this year with out getting Wet !!.
We managed to clock 114.5 miles, we left home & headed towards Barnsley & then picked up the road for Holmfirth, passing Emily Moor Tv Transmitter on the way quite an impressive site. Got to Holmfirth & had a wander around & 2 Lattes, a chat to some other Bikers who were parked up.
Holmfirth is famous for the BBC series 'Last Of The Summ then back on the road for the Woodhead Pass to Glossop, Chapel-En Le-frith, Castleton in the Peak District then in to Sheffield & back down the M1/M18 back home.
We both got off the Bike feeling stiff !!!!!
Roll on next Sunday as I've got a longer route planned........
