With the travel restrictions eased it appears every person in Scotland was out wearing out the tarmac at the weekend, some large groups of riders but in the main everybody seemed well behaved, luckily there are still some roads less well known so its still possible to escape the maddening crowds. The roads though are in a shocking state, the suspension on both Triumphs getting a good work out and despite doing only just over 110 miles my backside and arms were sore from holding on over the bumps and potholes. The weather was outstanding so no complaints at all. Spotted some "wild campers" in Dunning glen on Saturday, blocking the road with their cars and despite the fact overnight stays are not meant to be happening nobody seems to care. One group appeared to have a sound system set up next to a huge Bell tent, wild camping but not as we know it! Hopefully our slow (painfully slow) return to normality isn't just temporary!
Loch Tay, stunning but Kenmore was mobbed |

Aye Gino and Fiona, twas a grand day on Sunday. Far from the maddening crowds in Highland Perthshire. Stayed well clear of the honey pots. Lovely nicpic in a lay-bye, watching the beetles, wood ants, butterflies, caterpillers and odd stag tick (it got squashed) go about their daily business. Then moved along the road to an old borrow pit where the sand martins were in full force digging out their nesting burrows for the coming season and being busy! Dunning Glen always has attracted the ne're-de-wells during half decent weather, but that has extended into winter these days and the place is a cowp at the best of times! :¬( The Guzzi is sounding sweet, happy carb twiddling. Duke still blowing the carb off! :¬(
ReplyDeleteGood health, Myreside
Well the weather has changed now for the worse, not good re the duke, just as well you have plenty hair to pull out. Hopefully when the sun is out again I’ll manage a flyby myreside on the LeMans, love the PR pipes
