Wellgroomed and me are travelling on Saturday morning. I may be bringing a guest. Not sure yet. I'm staying over, Wellgroomed is travelling back to Hexham Saturday evening. Where do we meet you on the Saturday morning and what time?

I'd probably be best for us to meet there and then you can drop your gear off for the day :thumbup:

I went one year, took me 3 weeks for my hands to recover but I had a cracking time. Since changing to flat bars I am sure my hands would cope, just think the butt would complain more!!!!!

Yes hoping to do Yorkshire, NI, Scotland and Wales next year although will be in Cyprus in May so depends on Yorkshire dates. I’m looking forward to Wales in a few weeks.

Staying south west of M74 for Saturday and no planned ride Sunday.

Route is on the whatapp page. But will do a loop down to Kirkcudbright, then Dumfries to thornhill then up dalveen pass and back down via lead hills and Wanlockhead. From there we will go new Cumnock and across to Dalmellinmton, then Ayr, girvan, Newton Stewart, new Galloway and back through corsock. With an optional loop round lochken
