Gareth wins the prize

Mainly because he was the only one that replied.

And also because his answers were brilliant.

John 'O' Groats

The last few miles have been fairly dry and we hope it continues into
tommorow as the ride down to Ullapool has got to be the best days
riding in the UK

Strathspey Steam Railway

Time for lunch in Aviemore and a chance to see the steam train as it
travels past through what has got to be one of the best looking
railway stations in the UK

In the middle of one of Daves detours

Not far from Balmoral as you can see the weather is a little wet but
it could be far worse.

It's 0900hrs

And time to set off to tescos for breakfast.

It's raining but who cares

John O Groats here we come.

Have you guessed what it is yet???

Answers on a postcard please!!

Visit John O'Groats - A Visitors Guide

This time tommorow we should be at John O Groats.

This will depend on how many of Daves detours we go on.

It was well worth a visit

There is a fair bit of building work going on at the moment so it will
get even better

And more if the same.

When you go to Scotland

You just have to go to Samye Lings Tibetan Monastery

And our numbers double

A quick stop.

Time for breakfast.

At the Hartside cafe on the A386

It's a popular haunt for bikers and for good reason the roads around
here are brilliant.

The Lake District.

Today (Saturday) is the first day of a week long tour around the
Scottish highlands for myself and Mike (he rides a BMW but never mind)

Tommorow we shall be meeting up with Dave W who will take us on a
Daves detour into Scotland

But tonight we are staying at the Skyside Camping Park in the lake
district which has given us a chance to get off the M6 and enjoy some
twistie roads.

We have done about 350 miles today in what has been a very nice day

Having No rain was a bonus and it's looking like it's going to be
smashing evening although sadly we have a choice of an on site bar and
an Inn (Brotherswater Inn) just at the entrance to the site both of
which seem to serve cask ales. Decisions decisions.

A wash out

We made it to race eight before the heavens opened and the match was
abandoned

Never mind.

Here's hoping that next year we have the Exeter Falcons back with a
new track

England vs Australia.

It's the under 23's but who will win??

Wales

Taken last Friday.

And not a very good picture but it does show the point that I decided
that I had gone far enough in all the bad weather.

I sat here for five minutes and in that time the water had rosen
enough for me to not be able to get out of the car which meant it was
time for a "U" turn.
