    Just done quick weather check - looking superb for tomorrow which is jus as well after 3 tanks of fuel just to get to south side of Glasgow!

    Talking with Craig route is good distance so perhaps aiming for 10:30 depart worth trying for?

    Still not sure where we going but it's all good:cool:

    Also had a great day.
    I didnt take any pics though as Al had his good camera with him, but I did get some GoPro footage.
    I'll edit the footage tomorrow night as right now I am a broke man after 10 hours in the saddle and sitting down to a nice cold 1 ;)

    That was the good news. Now for the bad.
    Sadly Andy didn't make it very far as he suffered damage to his front wheel which caused him to come off. Thankfully he is ok but his bike is probably a write off.

    Long day - well worth the cost in fuel!

    Will also try and post some pics up but proper camera got best ones.

    I even got sunburned in Scotland..

    Real shame about Andy and the KTM - as others say at least he walked away but will prob ache like hell tomorrow.

    Glad you guys enjoyed the rest of your run. It was good to meet up and in many ways I wished I just tagged along a little longer, as it would have saved me a little bit of bother.

    Just home now, 960 miles in total but not a drop of rain.

    Great trip up overall - Sunday was unlucky it did not go to plan but those who got to Oban all had a good time, some even have their stickers.
