Re: Piel Island 24th & 25th April
Sent my mate ( who is from Barovia a link to this thread)
see his reply below, MODS whats the virus thingie!!!!
but Ian confirms the sand is fine for the bikes, but watch the tide..
( he has a 1200 GS so no bullying please
)
""" That link just installed a virus on my machine. I think the anti-virus software has sorted it.
I used to go over to Piel in the boat and camp in the castle. They had paraffin lamps in the pub which the landlord used to pump up when it got too dark to find your pint. They've spoilt it now with mod cons like electricity!
The sand is quite firm and flat so no probs on the bike. The tide does come in quite quick though so don't leave it too late. I've seen quite a few vehicles disappear under the water over the years.
I might have a run down myself, it's been years since I did Rhinos and hardknott. """
