Where's yer tent ??? Looking good young man

 

[Steve T]

Its the same set up I used when we "did" Ireland in 2015- tent would be in the RH pannier along some tools, sleep stuff & cooker in LH, with food & water in top box. Simples - just like me

You expect me to remember 2015 ?? I can barely remember 2022

T'was a good trip though wasn't it ?
Often thought about going back to Doone, but don't suppose it would be the same with the bikes being there. Quite a lot of pubs in one street if I remember ( funny, seem to remember all things pertaining to drink, isn't that spooky ?? )

 

[Rubberchicken]

I certainly remember 2015... Man has it been that long though.

I was digging out my camping stuff for the Easter GS club meet. Last time I went camping was 2016, with you lot in Kelso. Life's been lifey. The Exped has a hole in it it turns out, didn't like being in its bag for 6 years I guess. I can't even remember where some of my camping stuff is, and then a week ago I finally got covid so I'm fucking knackered and that's that, yet more no camping. Meh.

 

[Rubberchicken]

Here's a picture... It's good to check your gear every now and then, especially if it hasn't been used in a while because life.

 

[Rubberchicken]

Don't you hate it when that happens?

 

[Steve T]

Well serves you right - you lot invented the bleeding thing in the first place

 

[Rubberchicken]

Yeah at least you lot have the decency to paint them yellow, and tend to have aspirational speed limits on the more interesting roads:

Twisty, grass and shit in the middle, 3m hedges on either side and never more than 50 meters sight, 40 mph? Go on then see if you can get it.
Would be half that over here, if you could find any that aren't closed off.

 

[Rubberchicken]

Aah that's better

A picture, well 3 actually from my wee 75 miler today round by St Mary's Loch, Megget and Tala reservoirs on what was a nice sunny day but with a brisk wind keeping the temp down.

A nice little jaunt on the Scram and I am liking it more every time I ride it.

Andy.

 

[Alba]

St Mary's Loch is an excellent spot for a wee spin, cracking day and photo's

 

[Unicorn]

So many to choose from so here are a few from our holibob in Scotland so far

 

[outrunner]

Scott's view in the Borders.

And a better look without that Enfield in the way.

Andy.

 

[soho]

Good to see you back in the frame Andy ! (If that bench was 2ft longer I'd be happy to live on it)

 

[Steve T]

Just a few from yesterdays ride into the Highlands with LWR

A goodly number of campers . . . & flyfifer already heading south

Favourite brew stop

The “usual" view down toards Loch Broom & Ullapool

Loch Broom from an Ullapool perspective

Another “usual” picture taking spot as you climb up on the Strui road . . .

Please notice how horrid the weather was. Tis hard sometimes, riding in Scotland

And Finally . . . . SHOCK - HORROR - SHOCK AGAIN!!!!!

Young Jim (JimDidIt) frae Carlisle has only gon and got a bike that is less than 20 years old

I'll let him fill in the details as I'm still in shock

By the way Jim, thanks for bailing a day early due to the forecast - the Pod was reet comfy last night
