Taste of Lincolnshire 2021 - SIGN UP - August 27th - 29th Grimblethorpe Hall

Taste of Lincolnshire
ToL 18
27 - 29 August 2021

Here are details of this years Taste of Lincolnshire ride-out.

We are returning to Grimblethorpe Hall, but a week earlier than normal. This is the August Bank Holiday weekend so, in England, Monday is a holiday too although the weekend is still Friday to Sunday. I think everyone who was able to attend last year enjoyed the venue and location. I hope you do again and the weather and Covid are kind to us.

As per last year it will be self catering. Rooms are a mixture of doubles, twins and a family room. Sorry, but no singles unless there's a low turn out. I've listed the options below. Beds are on a first come first served basis. If you want to secure a bed/room please update the list below by putting your name(s) against the bed(s) you want and forward a £30 per person non-returnable deposit to me asap. PM me for payment details. The total cost per person will be around £150 for 2 nights accommodation including breakfast & dinner, but not alcoholic drinks. An order for those will be sorted nearer the time. Final outstanding payment will be needed by 9th July.

Grimblethorpe Hall

The accommodation is spacious and high quality and includes towels, but not toiletries. It's quiet, very rural and right in the middle of the Lincolnshire Wolds with great roads in all directions. It even includes undercover parking for bikes. The owner has asked for a single point of contact so please raise any questions here and I'll answer as soon as I can. If anyone wants to longer in Lincolnshire than 2 nights then the Thursday night is also available, just let me know.

More accommodation may be available on site, but that is yet to be confirmed. Otherwise there is ample accommodation in Louth or Market Rasen if alternatives are needed.

As usual we will be exploring some of the best roads and finest food Lincolnshire has to offer.
The start and ending point for the ride-out will be the hall, however pick-up points can be arranged once the route has been planned. There will be coffee, lunch and afternoon tea stops as usual. The route will be about 200 miles on the Saturday. The nearest filling stations are at Louth, Market Rasen or Horncastle. We will visit one of these first thing on the Saturday so just make sure you have at least 10-15 miles in the tank when you arrive.

I look forward to seeing you in August.

Regards,
Chris

Woohoo.

Thanks for organising Chris.
This is a great venue and I thoroughly enjoyed it last year.
Come on folks get signing up.

Cheers
Rosco

Hi Chris,
You can put me down, turns out the misses Steam Punk festival is on at the same time in the same location. We’ve booked our own place.

Sure, no problem. Will add you to the list and look forward to seeing you. More details nearer the time. Whereabouts are you staying?

Hi Everyone,

Less than two weeks to! Really looking forward to seeing you all.
Hope you're planning your route and the weather is kind to us.

The venue is available from 4pm on Friday. Mechy and I should be there from then.
Here's the postcode LN11 0RB.
On arrival ride up the driveway and bear left then right up to the cottages.
Rooms will be assigned on arrival.

Depending on your route the nearest fuel is available in Market Rasen, Horncastle or Louth.
If you can fill up on your way in that would be great.

The route is planned and tested. Approximately 200 miles around the north of Lincolnshire.

Coffee stop will be at The Courtyard Tea Room at Newton on Trent around 11:00.

Lunch will be at The Percy Arms at Airmyn around 13:45

We need to pre-order our lunch.
Please choose from either the LiteBites menu or the Garden menu and let me know your choices ASAP.

If anyone doesn't already have my contact details let me know and I can message you with them.
If you're arriving by car let me know so I can sort out parking.
If you have any special dietary requirements please let me know - reasonable requests only!  
I've received no requests for drink orders so far. Let me know if you want me to order you anything. Settle up over the weekend.

Have a safe ride in.

Cheers,
Chris
