Left last Friday, rode up to Uttoxeter for a classic bike show, which was pretty good, except for the ex patch club members that kept tagging on to us lol. Bike show was pretty good, I want an old skool Katana now!
From there we rode to a place near Knock Hill and stopped there the Saturday night. Went up the A68, which has so many peaks in the road its like a roller coaster! Got airbourne a few times
Then we went to see Knock Hill BSB etc on the Sunday. What a day, so much better than watching it on the tele! Saw quite a few crashes close up! Was a beautiful day too. Ears were ringing after mind, they're all sooooo loud!
On the Monday we rode across to Fort William, with the intention of walking up Ben Nevis. The weather was appalling though
Stopped overnight in a bnb that night at Inverness, everything was too wet to consider camping. Next day rode up the East coast to John O Groats
The next day on a friends reccomendation we rode down to For William again. AWESOME!!!!! Scenery was amazing, roads were PERFECT, dry, grippy, deserted! Loads of corners, etc. THE best road in the UK that I have ridden. Then went East again over the Cairngorms, again loads of good roads! If its got gates across it to close off in bad weather its got to be good. The rode down to the Lakes.
Had a bimble round, destroyed by tourism. Roads were good on the rare stretch that they were quiet. Went over to the Peaks, did the Cat and Fiddle! Good road, alot shorter than I expected. First half was very nice though!
Thats bout it really, just got back! Proper knackered, was putting in nearly 400 miles on a few days!
