Great video, looks like you blokes had fun.What make/model of video camera did you use to take that footage?  The quality is fantastic.

I love the way some of the strommers still went round with full panniers on when they could have left them at the camp site. Just rubbing those scramblers' noses in it !

Camera is a HD Hero 2. It does the job. Bit bulky though. Great quality.

Hmmmm, ford and cobbles. Know the ford in Wellholme park, Mitch? Lost a Z650 on moss on those cobbles, one second I was riding carefully through, the next I was standing over the bike ankle deep in water and the points cover was all smashed in. Still, gave me an excuse to convert to Piranha ignition.  :)

Looks to have been a good weekend. I was in cloud,rain and drizzle in the Dales. Saw a loud red Vee/Wee heading in to Skipton from Settle around 12 ish. Matchless, maybe?

Yes, I am local to that area. Seen it carry away cars downstream when its in flood.
 Sundays affair was much more manageable. I thoroughly recommended the routes we did to anyone with a Strom.

That was on Sunday so a lot of people had packed up their tents and loaded their panniers. Couldn't leave them at camp as we wouldn't be going back there once we'd left. Bikes were a bit heavier, but the Stroms handle a bit of extra weight well :thumb:

Almost as wide as my Krausers, jab :)
