Re: OP storm SW Scotland Mk4, July 29th to 31st 2016
We had a nice trip up to Barnard Castle on the way home though. My supadupa new GPS gave me a fuel stop in Reeth but, being Sunday it wasn't open. Then, since it was set to "curvey roads" took us on an Enduro course.Watty wrote:Tell me about itFlatline wrote:You didn't ride like a road racer
I looked at the trip log when I got home and it told me I was going 230kmh over a 60m segment on a B road. Hmmm. Back to the drawing board Mr Garmin.
Finally, a big big thanks to all that made it happen. My back tyre is shagged and has cracks down to the carcass (pics later) and apologies to Bazza and Mr Grumpy who may have missed out on the fairwell hugs. I've had a long day at work today and am now ready for bed. Top weekend!

Glad you'll be there Flatty. No worries about the tent.Flatline wrote:I'm in, not sure if the Blue Palace will be there though
I've just been on a bit of a shopping spree and bought myself a Lomo bag, camping stove, kettle and tent for this trip.
The tent will be big enough for 2 if you don't have a smaller one to bring?
Re: OP storm SW Scotland Mk4, July 29th to 31st 2016
Thanks Chris, I appreciate the offer I do have a smaller tent, problem is its a 6 man tent, so not a lot smaller
I take it a kettle and the microwave will not be much use

Chris,
you and flatty can share your double blow up bed .

Yeah I'll be taking a small gas cooker and kettle.
Tents won't be a problem.
We can snuggle on the double :-)
