A night in the Dutch army bivvy instead of a tent.
After spending a night in a one man tent earlier in the year I figured a night without a tent might work out quite well. After checking the night time weather forecast, I booked a site and headed off.

Tuxford Day 2 : Ride to Yonderman's Cafe
zhlédnutí 296Před 14 hodinami
This is the bank holiday Sunday and we set off from Tuxford to head off to the Yonderman's cafe. Whenever I left Tuxford intending to call in at the Yonderman's, I'd always left Tuxford sorta near the town centre. Today though, we headed off Northwards and as usual, I didn't know where I was until I saw the sign for Baslow!
ZZR1200 at 2024 TT - The ride to the Bungalow.
zhlédnutí 620Před 14 dny
It's Wednesday and the weather is clear, which means the racing is on... but where should we go to? We'd already watched from Bradden Bridge a couple of times, but I felt that the Bungalow was my favourite option, particularly as it would involve a ride on a road in the middle of the circuit. The circuit round through Ramsey is an obvious, and appealing route, but I fancied riding a different r...

Today was a none race day, so we got a full tank of fuel and headed to Castletown, Port Erin and Peel. Found some good hill roads, couldn't find parking in Peel and landed in Kirk Michael for lunch.

ZZR1200 at Tuxford 24 - Part 1 to Willingham Woods
zhlédnutí 461Před měsícem
After arriving at the 'site', and got pitched and fed, the first group ride of the weekend got started. Today was going to add up to something like 170 miles, in three sections. This part took us to Willingham woods ( I repeatedly get the name of the woods wrong!). A proper meeting point for bikers even though I didn't pick up any food. 20% Drift Discount available simply quote DRIFTLOVE20 when...
ZZ1200 up the Hartside pass to Stop for 2nd breakfast at Nook Cafe Alston
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed měsícem
Time ter get out and do a full days ride. I chose to go to Alston Nook Cafe with Paul, via Penrith. I wasn't interested in 'pretty' ride as it happens, just the miles that came out at around 290 miles. You won't see Paul in this video, he was behind me and I'd not got rea view footage available. Paul has all the video files and will do the usual two way convo video later. 20% Drift Discount ava...

Ray (the Mears) Jones enjoying life under the stars👍
I did enjoy myself David. 🤣🤣
Bloody L Ray where you in the SAS in a previous life 🤔 anyway i've got to ask the Q on everyones lips,,,,,WHY,and the answer cant be ,,,WHY NOT 😜 Ride Safe Mr B 🤘
I fancied trying it Baza, but I needed the airbed cos I'm not a teenager anymore. 🤣🤣
Hi Ray, I can't see Paul where is he?
You may not be aware that we have each gone our separate ways by mutual agreement. As a result you'll no longer see him in my videos nor me in his. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@rayjones4115 Thanks for the explanation. What a shame!
Yondermans in the dry…makes a change😉👍
A nice reminder.....lets hope for more of the same at NewBroom🙂. Cheers Dave
It'll be a good weekend David... can't rain twice in a row can it? 🤣🤣
A really nice ride Ray, I’m a great believer in going at your own pace whenever possible, and just taking in the countryside. And an all day breakfast at the Yondermann sounds perfect..👍
I still like blast on a good road.. but I do dawdle a lot more these days. 🤣🤣
(TT) and 2 from Hull 🤣
@@TheGilb70important not ter forget the 2 from Hull..😂😂
Hi Ray, I enjoyed the video mate, being a Lancashire lad been around there a few times. Glad you’re on the mend.
Surprising where you can find some good roads innit? Thanks for watching. 👍
Great vid Ray,glad you all had a great time mate,love the Hoodie,,reckon your Mrs let you have it when you got home 🤣 you should of put a hat out when you went crashed out folk would've put money in it 😉 Ride Safe Mr B 🤘 PS Whats with The Halton Rider,have you gibbed Mr G off🤔🤣👍
The Mrs was a bit taken aback that I'd paid so much for it.. but then she saw the quality. The new channel name came about cos I post a lot of videos now, an I felt I needed a name. It's taken me a year ter come up with something cos I'm slow sometimes. Thanks for watching. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know this route, did it last year 🙂
It's the A14 from sulby church. It's actually a decent ride innit? 🤔
It was certainly a bit fresh 😂
I'm glad I took me winter hat an thermal gloves.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks like a good time was had by all Ray. You should have put Steve's 'John Smiths' cap down with the last photo....I reckon you could have made a few bob😏....soon be New Broom👍....Cheers Dave
Gotta be said.. it was a good week, with good people. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ray I am loving this style of videos you are doing .lovely listening to you muted tones my dear fellow
I find it means I just enjoy riding my bike... or, in this case watching the racing. 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching. 👍👍
Super vid Ray. Is a great trip for any biker to make. Was there 26 years ago and by the looks of it not a lot of change in that time, which is good. Love your polite but subtle comment about the Manx Bobbies vrs UK mainland police. Very diplomatic observation. Not like you at all. However the fact they have your registration number probably makes that diplomacy wise.
I'll be ruining my obnoxious reputation if I'm not careful. Thanks for watching... 😂😂😂
Great stuff Ray & a belter of a week. 🇮🇲👍
It was a cracking week Jason, right from the start, even if the weather was unfriendly at times and we got less racing than was planned.. 👍👍
Great week ray, very good documentary about the week ❤
Amazing how much stuff you can get with just a mobile phone innit? Would love ter do it again, but really can't make any plans till a lot closer to the time. 🤣🤣
Great account of your IOM adventure Ray. Made some great memories there too👍
It was a fantastic 6 days Dave. Superb racing and always something ter do on none racing days. Thanks for watching. 👍👍
Ray 😂 is that Dunlop 🤣
No, they were the first riders to arrive at the Bungalow.. 👍👍
Where is your pal Paul we miss that banter between you two hope he is ok but great vlog Ray thanks keep em coming you are a star
Paul is still around, but has changed personal circumstances that affect how he spends his time. He'll be back... no question.. in the meantime you're stuck with lil ole me. 🤣🤣🥰🥰
Nice vid Ray,still cant get over the Battered Black Pud 🤔🤮 and i like BP,i see your as excited as me when spotting a toilet 🤣 i reckon its an age thing 😳 Ride Safe Mr B 🤟
Can never be too far away from a urinal Baza...🤣🤣🤣🤣
100% with you on the fast flowing roads with sweeping bends Ray!, A fantastic day’s ride was that!, Love that part of the country!.👍🏴
They were bloody good roads Kevin. 🤔🤔
Nice vid Ray,180 is enough for any man surely in a day,i didnt notice Mr G in the group who where you riding with ??? Ride Safe Mr B 🤟
He's directly in front of me as we leave Wragby Mr B. 🤣🤣
Pauses the video........Battered black pudding and chips......my life would be complete. 😮
I was gonna have fish until I saw the black pudding option. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another great weekend and ride out. Big shout out to Paul and Jan for their hospitality and organisation. Roll on New Broom with hopefully better weather than last year. Cheers Dave
Cracking weekend ..
Alston is pronounced ``olstan``.
Cheers. 👍
Silver dot moving across the sky? I reckon that was Paul in his paraglider, checking you were safely tucked up in bed.
😂😂😂😂
You get on OK Ray.
I did Jon. Next time I should take something like mil-Tec Bivvi bag so my air bed stays under me. I could perhaps dispense with the groundsheet then. 😂😂😂
@@rayjones4115 trial n error. Long as you enjoyed it. I'd be scared to death of a moth gerrin mi 😂😂😂😂
I was wondering about rats. Heard one or two odd noises, otherwise nothin and nobody bothered me. Might be different in the middle of some woods somewhere.. 😂😂😂😂
How about taking a caravan
Good to see Laurel and Hardy are back, look forward to some more ride outs, mind you as you say Ray it could be sometime before we get to see them 😉
Easter's looking good Norrie.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eh up fella's top ride out,hope the arm held up Ray,btw do you use Basecamp when sorting out your ride oust or tours ;-) Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Arm's doing good thanks Baza. When I'm planning routes I use tyre to travel... I've never tried base camp yer know.. thanks for watching. 👍
Nice ride out makes me want to get out on my Zx7r ninja more other then to and from work in London Well done for the encouragement Ray Safe riding
Thanks for watching Graham. 👍👍
Appreciate that Ray 👍
I'd have been much more glowing if it weren't for the red bar telling me I was running out of time Paul. It was a great weekend and you an Jan went more than the extra mile. 👍

Almost sorted Baza, done 300 miles in a day now... an a multi day ride coming up... I reckon I'll cope.. an will be fully back on form. I just need ter not let it happen again. I liked the boating holidays too.. did the Norfolk broads twice an the river Thames. Thanks for watching. 👍👍
Traditionally,the typical Baguette is normally used in a meal being broken up by hand to mouth size pieces,it was never intended for sandwiches unless you have teeth like a big white Shark😬🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Decent road
Loved it.. thanks for watching.. 👍
Great Video & Innovative Theme to revisit ‘Teenage Lanes’ …❤ Fantastic idea …Really enjoyed it… Bike sounds great BTW🤝
They felt a bit different Paul... 🤣🤣
Did you actually acknowledge your fellow bikers in the opposite direction! You know the code
Good to see your getting bike fit, have you got a plan for route for 250 miles
Probably look at it tomorrow Chris. Thanks for watching. 👍
Cheers Ray, such an enjoyable video, and your ZZR sounds purrrrrfect.
It's a cracking bike. Thanks for watching. 👍👍
Agree
It,s got Mountains.
That's my conclusion too..
Are you sure you ONLY got a Masters in history...🤔
Absolutely. 😂😂😂
Very Helpful... Cheers
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching. 👍
That bike of yours is still looking good Ray .....👍
It's a bit of a beaut.. 🤣🤣
A bit stop and start the roads around Pendle, some nicer flowing ones not too far away, give me shout the next time you're this way? 😊
Next time I'm up there for more than a fleeting look David. 👍👍👍
