Always looking for some where to go on a weekend Bassets Pole was this weeks choice. I was led to understand that it was one of the countries top bike meets. Not today it wasn't about a dozen bikes a bit of a poor turnout even for February. I've been to Squires at Sherbourne in some crap weather and always seen more bikes than that.
Mind getting down to those southern softies type area.
Having said that it was a good run down. Starting in Sheffield across to Bakewell then to Ashbourne to Litchfield then to Bassets. Some nice roads and excellent scenery.
A round trip of 145 miles as we came back up the A38 and then on the A61. The coffee at Mac Donalds wasn't bad

Richard,
Bassett's Pole bike meet is on a Tuesday night... and it is huge, but it don't float my boat so I don't go.
Funnily enough me and my brother were on the A515 today heading North. I saw an XJR heading South at 2-2:30 ish... so....... was it you? I think it was black and yellow.

We came down the 515 but it would have been about 12.30 to one ish . My XJR is yellow and black with a Kappa top box and a small screen, as always two up.
We saw plenty of bikes on the way down.
We generally like the big meets just to watch the characters(not the idiots doing wheelies etc) and wlaking around looking at the bikes and taking the odd photo.

Fox's Diner in Berinsfield had plenty of bikes on Sunday. Home Counties Softy Southerners were out in force. They are doing a run down to the Ace Cafe Friday eve - leaving at 6:30pm. Too early for me though, work getting in the way :-(

Fox's was pretty busy on Saturday afternoon too - 50-60 bikes coming and going while I was there around lunch time. Great egg & bacon rolls too!
