19 May 20 - 04:44 AM (#4053526) Subject: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Dave the Gnome The sad passing of Micca set me thinking about past Mudgathers. When this virus crisis is over, how about one in Skipton, Yorkshire? Lovely place with good transport links and a short bus ride for me :-) Next spring/summer? Who would be up for it? |

19 May 20 - 05:39 AM (#4053540) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: GUEST,Susanne (skw) I'd love to go if it fits with my travel timetable. But I've no hopes to get to Britain this year. Thinking of all my friends there, though! |
19 May 20 - 05:43 AM (#4053544) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Doug Chadwick You can put me down as a definite maybe. DC |
19 May 20 - 05:55 AM (#4053547) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Eric the Viking Would that I could escape dialyysis. |
19 May 20 - 05:57 AM (#4053549) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Doug Chadwick Hi John and Suzanne. Hope this one will be as much fun as the gatherings at Invershin and Kiel. DC |
19 May 20 - 06:00 AM (#4053550) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Doug Chadwick Sorry Susanne .... with an 's', not a 'z'. |
19 May 20 - 06:06 AM (#4053552) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Dave Hanson Interested. Dave H |
19 May 20 - 06:10 AM (#4053554) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: GUEST,Linda Kelly Count me in |
19 May 20 - 06:18 AM (#4053557) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Joe G Possibly. Would Leeds be more central for people if we have anyone there who could arrange. I'm in York now so Skipton a bit of a trek but might be able to make it anyway if it was there |
19 May 20 - 11:43 AM (#4053650) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: cujimmy I would be interested, and Leeds would be very convenient, Skipton ok also. |
19 May 20 - 11:55 AM (#4053657) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Mr Red I have a friend in Keighley so I might take in a round trip. Long way from the west country. |
19 May 20 - 12:26 PM (#4053667) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Doug Chadwick I fancy Skipton more than Leeds but I would go with the flow. DC |
19 May 20 - 12:54 PM (#4053679) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: peteglasgow microwave Dave's restaurant - Brophy's - in the middle of Skipton? and woolly sheep/cock and bottle? |
19 May 20 - 01:41 PM (#4053699) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Mrs.Duck We'd certainly be interested. |
19 May 20 - 01:56 PM (#4053703) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Noreen Lovely idea Dave, count me in. We need to look forward to happy gatherings. |
19 May 20 - 02:01 PM (#4053706) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Dave the Gnome Brody's. The folk club is currenty at the Narrow Boat and it is a good room - I can ask if that could be used as the folk club is on Mondays. But let's not get too far ahead :-) |
19 May 20 - 02:09 PM (#4053710) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Dave the Gnome Oh, and Chez Gnome has 2 spare double beds and 3 singles. Plus I can pitch a tent on the front lawn. Mind you, I may have to do some smooth talking to Mrs G ;-) |
19 May 20 - 02:14 PM (#4053711) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Backwoodsman I could probably be persuaded! ;-) |
19 May 20 - 03:57 PM (#4053748) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: peteglasgow i have a friend who has a house in japan and one in skipton, by the royal shepherd. i have been there many times and, though in yorkshire, it is a pleasant town. the highlight for me is the Sound Bar - a 2nd hand vinyl shop and bar, very appealing to guys of a certain age. but who knows what entertainments will survive this government. We got married from jap dave's house at the registry office there 20 odd years back. i'm always more than a happy for an excuse to go there |
19 May 20 - 06:00 PM (#4053770) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Dave the Gnome The sound bar is great. A couple of good new micro pubs have opened recently too. |
20 May 20 - 06:30 AM (#4053857) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Bainbo As I was thinking about trips around the UK post-lockdown, it crossed my mind that I hadn’t been to Skipton Castle for years and I wouldn’t mind going back. Not immediately post-lockdown - I’ll still be practising social distancing. So, although I haven’t been a very active member of Mudcat for a while, I wouldn’t mind a sidle along. |

20 May 20 - 08:35 AM (#4053882) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Dave the Gnome Skipton castle is lovely. We have annual tickets that run out this month I think. I guess they will suspend them until the crisis is over. If not we may not renew them anyway. Our grandsons always wanted to go when they were with us but they have not asked for ages. |
20 May 20 - 09:04 AM (#4053889) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Eric the Viking The Yorkshire Dales railway at Embsay is just down the road. Steam ! |
20 May 20 - 10:16 AM (#4053914) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Richard Mellish Doug Chadwick said "You can put me down as a definite maybe." I'm a definite qualified maybe. |
20 May 20 - 11:31 AM (#4053931) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Dave the Gnome And the KWVR, Eric. We are well blessed with preserved railways :-) |
20 May 20 - 11:44 AM (#4053939) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: John MacKenzie I spy a camp site at top of town too. |

21 May 20 - 06:41 PM (#4054264) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: bradfordian Yes interested. It was at a Yorkshire Mudgather where I had the good fortune to meet Micca and many other wonderful ‘catters |
21 May 20 - 06:50 PM (#4054265) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: Joe G The Narrow Boat is a fine pub indeed with lots of excellent beer. |
22 May 20 - 05:44 AM (#4054306) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: JHW Agree Narrow Boat fine. Been to FC many a time, 70miles for me. Good FC at Keighley too. Depends on pub and club reopening one day. Never been to a mudgather. |
22 May 20 - 10:19 AM (#4054352) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: GUEST,Felipa possibly - I like the area, but it's a long trip for me |
22 May 20 - 03:43 PM (#4054432) Subject: RE: Yorkshire Mudgather From: JHW Just thought again, most folkies are trying to do things on line. Mudcat always was but here's mudcatters looking to meet off line! |
