Really sorry we missed this one,
We had a change of heart and had hoped to join you all on Saturday night.

Circumstances were that we needed to come home early though (450+ miles dash home from Inverness) so we just couldn't make it

Looking forward to seeing all of the pics and catching up next time

Some photos from me, we took an eclectic mix of bikes, a V4, a flat 6 and a V-twin and joined the next day by a parallel twin.

Stopped by a reservoir somewhere in Yorkshire

We rode up to the lake district to meet Deano where Stuart and I slept in a pod for the night

On Saturday we took a trip to Lindisfarne, we didn't ride over to the island as it looked like the tide was coming in but rode along the causeway to get some photos

and then we rode across the Otterburn ranges where we met Seb and his son coming the other way

On Saturday it was my 37th birthday :confused: so someone kindly decorated my bike while we were off for something to eat

Some photos from me . . . . . . .

Took our usual route south . . . . . over the Lecht and Glenshee . . . . .


Heading south at a gentle pace, we eventually found our destination . . . . . .


We made our introductions . . . . you know, the usual "And you can feck orf as well baldy". Set up camp and watched many other riders join the throng. Many well kent faces to be found round the camp fire . . . . . .








Some faces are more well known than others - I call this one Trouble Squared


"Call that a flame - I can fart bigger ones!"


The morning mist parts and reveals the slumbering canvas caves of the BT campers . . . . .


The Evidence, your Honour, of the nights bebauchery!!??


The Vaders leave their empties outside their palace, hoping that the "milkman" will leave full bottles :D


Some bikes . . . . . . all the other machines are hidden behind Stuarts HUGE ride :lol:


Mating Transalps - sweet


Just in case any visitors got lost and popped their tents up in the flower beds :rolleyes2:


TheJunction Pool on the river Tweed . . . . .




Kelso Abbey & War memorial




The Duke of Roxboroughs local home - Floors castle


Eldest & I did our own thing, ride wise, with Keilder Forest drive being our one "Must-Do" of the trip. Spotted this relic on route - Cessford castle




Did the obligatory stop on the border for this picture


And we make it - Keilder Forest Drive


After pausing on our ride over the forest drive to make a little "dust raising" videos :thumbsupanim: , we heard a rumbling and suspected a V-Twin was heading in our direction1 How wrong were we?

The rider had decided to take a short cut . . . . . over a dirt track, with his daugther hanging onto him like a monkey onto a fruit tree - poor child :eekicon: . And he still had about 5 more miles to get to the tar :eekicon:

A little detour on our way back to Kelso . . . . .




Bo Bo Nae Leg’s Birfday Bike :thumbsupanim:


And Bo Bo heading home, ballons still attached :thumbsup:


Great event in a great location, populated by great people.

Thanks again Andy - top job

Great pics folks, keep 'em coming. What camera are you packing Vader?, it's capturing some images that most camera's would struggle with.
