Deleted User Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Don't you mean the old service station at Byrness?Wasn't aware of any place in Otterburn village other than Snaith's coach depot.Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Blimey, do you know every place in the north of Enland and Scotland!No reply as yet to my letter, if this establishment is unwilling to help then I will not seek a stop between Blyth and Ed. Airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Oh, I see Reading isn't on my Order.Now who do I know from round there? :)Are we still going to Badgers Holt?Bit of tight squeeze time wise if we do.Jim.PS And Tim, the answer is yes!

Tim Bancroft Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 1. Don't worry about Badgers Holt!2. Good man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Who's worried about Badgers Holt?It's the prospect of no pies at Stirling, a Scottish delicacy that gives us chronic heart disease but which you Englanders seem to love, that I'm concerned about.Come to think of it, I could make a fortune, exporting chronic heart disease south of the border!If you don't use Morrison's, my house is just a few miles down the road.The wife will be overcome with emotion when 100+ Triumphs turn up. :)She's a great cook and a few hundred Scotch pies and bridies would be no problem!I'll break the good news to her tonight. :)Jim.

Deleted User Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Sorry chaps, no pies.I have now moved my address to the garage for the forseeable future. :'(Where did I go wrong?Jim.PS It's not easy sleeping in a GT6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yes, I felt guilty that you spent all that time looking for that annoying noise in the GT6, when it was me snoring!It's so cosy and intimate in your GT6 on the 10CR, that sleeping beside you has somehow strengthened the bond between us! :K)Jim.

Goody Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 As for the Pie's, back in 06 the oversize one's got their first and I did not get any. Last time I managed to get 1!. While they are OK not something I would rush to get. I don't think I could get 100+ Triumph's in my driveway, 50 maby but not 100, no matter what some think. The wife would make sure everyone got something to eat. She would just call in a order to our local store that does platters. She is good about that and spending my money. Thankfully my garage fridge does not hold that much BEER but than you can't drink and drive anyway. Of course their is no way the RBRR could came here without a boat. You would be welcome though. I assume you don't really burn Otter's or yell Holt to Badgers. Sleeping in the garage? Problem? You just have to let the sheep out once in a while, or you are knee deep in IT! I trust Tim and his gang will work everything out and all will be fine. Thanks for the offer but I don't need heart deisease as I have allready had a massive heart attack and six by-pass'es.

Deleted User Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 I have been going through the route, Were is Otterburn Services, A65? Google places it off the route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Slight bit of modification needed, if I get permission!A real pain attempting to find anywhere that is open at midnight on a Friday in Co Durham or Northumberland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 More likely to be on the A68 at Byrness.About a mile out of the village is an old filling station and cafe with a large parking area.Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnerboy Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi McJim, I have used that garage before on my way back from the land of the Jaggy Thistle but I seem to think that on the last RBRR it was closed when we passsed it? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 You're right Burnerboy.It isn't on my list of late night opening garages between Scotch Corner on the A1 and John O'Groats.Closer to the event, I'll post all the details of the open garages along that stretch of the route for all you southern tourists.Jim.PS How were the ladyboys?

Goody Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 In 06 I seem to remember Ashley Mills knew of a all night station just off the A9 south of Alness. We were in the front of the pack and quite a few also knew of this stop. At least that's how I remember it. Last time we came accross a small mom and pop station that just opened for the day around Dunbeath just as it was getting light. DollyRoo will go more than 350 miles on a tank but Ash's Acclaim does not have that much safe range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
