[joe]

I am delighted to announce

BMW 09

Hosted by JUST

The first of this years British Muni Weekends will be held on

Friday 27th February to Sunday 1st March

Hamsterley Forest, County Durham.

Location:
Hamsterley Forest is a Forestry Commission Forest with 2000 hectares of mixed woodland lying between the Wear and Tees valleys on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Riding:
The forest boast some of the best riding in the region with a mixture of gentle trails and exciting single track which will stretch the best of Muni riders. There is also a MTB training loop which is VERY entertaining.

How to get there:
Hamsterley is easily accessible by car and is sign posted from the A68.
If you’re travelling by train, the closest station is Darlington.
For those flying in, either Newcastle or Durham Tees airport would be the best option.
There is also a ferry route which runs from Amsterdam to Newcastle. The port is 44 miles from Hamsterley forest.
Please contact me if you require picking up from train stations or airports.

Awesome! I'll be there Joe.

[lowlight]

BRILLIANT! sounds ace, i'll be there too

[cathwood]

I'd really like too, although I'm rubbish at Muni.

[1-wheeled-grape]

that sounds pretty cool... I doubt I'll have the money, time or parents to allow me to go though

[SamGoodburn]

Thats at the very north of England, I live at the very.. very south.. long way travel!

[redwelly]

Woo, yes please.

[rob.northcott]

Cool. I haven't made it to any of the north-east meetings yet - have to make an effort to get to this one. Hamsterley sounds like a good place, although a bit rodentish. We'll have to organise some south-west meets in Rattery, Mousehole or Ottery to balance things out

I'll look foward to it

[MrBoogiejuice]

Looks top banana.

Shall be in attendance!

[joe]

With a BMW in the North, followed by a BUC in the South, I'm sure the distances will even out no matter where you live

I'm pleased so many people have already announced their attendance. I'm sure it will be a great weekend.

Joe,

Oh, so we're only allowed to use real words on the forum now?
Surely you've heard of rodents in your part of the world?

[semach.the.monkey]

Sounds fandibulous, I'll be there.

And, yes, fandibulous is a real word. It says so in my spelographers lexiplaph
