| Hi Guys,
Well I did get to Scotland but...Rode up Monday night and stayed in Lancaster then up to the Mull of Kintyre (well you have to don't you!). Then up to Oban Tuesday night. This morning fog/mist and rain with more promised. Couldn't see anything and by this time suffering from the weight of the back-pack (should've left the golf clubs at home) and the riding position which is a bit new to me. So, after riding up towards Skye, turned back and stopped only briefly at Tyndrum for a natter and a bowl of soup (now who'd have thought that skink was smoked fish soup?). Met a few fellow bikers who were wringing out their gloves and heading inland for somewhere dry. Secretly I was glad I wasn't the only one who'd whimped the wet weather...Even some locals said it was some of the worst you'd had. Drove down the Loch Lomond road to Glasgow where Harry obliged with a coffee (nice chap - good recommendation Scott) then hot-footed home (Stratford-upon-Avon) in search of a good Chiropractor. I now look like a cross between John Wayne and the Hunchback of Notre Dame ......so some improvement (Good job the Duke will pull the chicks for me - just hope some of them are nurses!!).
A short trip but as Arnie said ... I'll be back..  |
