Post by AMCQ46 »

Provisional dates for next years trip to Scotland..........no passports or Euros required 8O

Location Kirkcudbright in SW Scotland http://goo.gl/maps/fPKDJ
Camping and and B&Bs available

plan to meet in Settle or Hawes at about noon on Friday, ride up the scenic routes , then set up camp and hit the pub
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

Great motorcycling local roads with no traffic and great views like these ones for Saturday http://goo.gl/maps/Ul8g7...[not sure if we need to vary the route to take in some new roads or if we cant improve on perfection :lol: ], ...perhaps a BBQ in the evening

More twisty roads to go home sunday.

who is interested?

everybody who has been once keeps coming back, that should be a clue about how good it is :D .... come on lads & lasses, time to cross the border, you still don't need a passport :thumbup: :lol:

all of you that were in Rhayader earlier this month.......its like the best road from there, but with less cars and every road is that good :D

Most will be camping, but B&B's available in the link here http://www.kirkcudbright.co.uk/bedbreak ... .asp?t=BBT

talking of baldrocks- we've talked about it often enough but if anyone fancies making it a longer trip, head north with me on the Sunday? If anyone's interested routes can be set up for 1, 2, 3, 4 additional days. west, east, north coasts of everything in between.


oh and yes I'll be there again.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

not a bad idea Grumpybollocks :thumbup: ... nothing to say we shouldn't pack up the tents each morning and ride all day and then set up camp at the next location then repeat till we run out of land.

I would be up for doing a couple of extra days, though I wouldn't do it on my bike that I have now. I would need something easier to ride long distances, or come up there with it on the trailer.
