Did I tell you about the Rally I once organised in Ullapool , and there was a mini hurricane
Don't remind me, I was there.

It's not fuel that's bothering me, it's the weather forecast for up there that is scary, I don't like getting wet.

Looks like someplace to get lost in the view.
Is my memory flawed - I seem to recollect you said you had stopped smoking !?
Nowt wrong with your memory, but I lasted 6 months and then started again.

Only took one picture on my 160 mile jaunt today and I thought you may like to see it.
It is a few miles from Alnwick and I stopped there for a fag and spent about 15 minutes just looking at the beauty of the countryside.

Put me on the list Craig please.
I'll be up in the van with the Alp in the back hopefully
I don't think my heart will put up with you twice in a month.

Great news Craig, mark me down as definite.

Needs a good tug here and there.
Don't we all?
It was only held up with 3 pegs, just enough to check it and let some air in.Andy.

I bet the thread title made you look!
I just put up my canvas cottage today to check that all was well as it has never been out of the bag for 2 years.
Everything was as it should be so now ready for the big Traillie meet in Shropshire in a couple of weeks and if all goes well ADV Scotland meet at Strontian in October with perhaps a couple of days away here and there in between times.

As I have not been there for a few years I decided to go and visit the Steve Hislop memorial cairn today.
The cairn is siuated just a couple of miles from Teviothead on a little back road off the A7, the road goes on for miles to the forest and then ends so you have to turn around and go back the same way. If you just want to visit the cairn there are plenty of passing places to turn around.
Here are a few pictures of the area.
I stayed there for a while reflecting on how sad it was that a great racer lost his life amongst such beautiful countryside.

Quality video as usual Craig, but that thing will never pack small enough to fit on the Transalp!

Sounds a bit suspect to me.

Nice bit of road that, when it's not full of tourists that is.

Well, even if you went the wrong way that road from Abington over Mennock pass is a great ride.

Nice wee 120 mile run today taking in Galshiels, Peebles, Stobo, Drumelzier, Rachan Mill and Moffatt where I stopped for a coffee in really warm sunshine. Then it was off down by St Marys Loch, back it to Galashiels for a fruitless search for something in Halfords then home. Below are the only 2 pics of the day taken on the Moffatt to Selkirk road.

I for one had no doubts about your ability to get the old girl back into the shape she was in before your little slide. Nice when your your handy work . . . works out isn't it
Now carry on adding miles to the odo - you know you want to
The bike was all ready before Xmas but the weather was crap so I left it in the shop. I taxed it on the 1st of March but it has rained, been freezing cold or windy as hell but today the sun was out so what is a man supposed to do?

As the title, it was first time out on the bike since I dropped it in November. Just to make sure my repairs were sound I took a wee run to Kelso for an essential coffee at the petrol station and all seems to be well, nice steady run, never above 75 Mph (Oops, did I say that out loud?) it felt like I had never been without it.
