It was a misty murky day on the Plain ............

Having met Nick Sanders on a number of occasions & really like his ‘devil may care’ philosophy, it seemed appropriate to join one of his tours - I’d promised my Africa Twin that one day we would go to Africa. 6 of us from Gwent Police Motorcycle...
Popped through to Aviemore to see thunder in the Glens - a major Harley event which takes place every year.
Around 3000 bikes on the ride out, pish weather but soon brightened up in time for my wee blast.

We'll start with a map of the route -...

A loverly hill en-route, Bein Eighe from the Torridon to...
