    Another great weekend in Scotland. Weather was good with just the odd heavy shower, great selection of near empty roads and a milestone mileage passed. Thanks for organising Peter :thumbsup:

    Thanks to James /Alison and Julian / Andy for their company on this trip.. a mixture of weekend rotas / family issues / covid restrictions / lack of Zed / repairied Zeds precluded some others joining. The upside is you can move overall more efficently and logistics in current times are so much easier.. a few pics over the two days.. enjoy..

    Here is Balmoral and Dufftown from the Snow Gates / Royal Deeside / Whisky Trail routes..

    Hopefully the formation will be full again soon :thumbsup:

    However wee kranky banning travel from the NW may impact me as I’ve booked the hotels for the august run using my U.K. card and the address it’s registered too in Blackburn with Darwen

    Hopefully the hotels won’t cancel me .., as cancel culture seems to be a thing :headbang:

    I doubt very much that will be an issue….it’s residency rather than where your tax affairs are domiciled…so as long you transit through the area and don’t swap bodily fluids there you should be fine :thumbsup: :driving: :rofl: ..

    Are you doing both the Borders run and the Isle of Mull runs?

    Probably just the Mull at the moment

    Wife’s sister is trying to get over from NY at beginning of August so might be a bit busy here as they ( hopefully ) will be staying with us

    Depends how things pan out obviously, the borders run is epic but not great timing for me and with all the restrictions I didn’t want to commit to too much as getting off the prison island hasn’t been easy
