Now that sounds like an invitation we cannot pass up on !

And your on the coast and there's cake .....

Gets my vote.

Cheers for the invite.

Cheers, Ivan

Seconded by yours truly

Well you're more than welcome.

Any idea of ETA & numbers?

Packed, bike washed, checked over and loaded. See you at Forton Services, M6 at 9:00AM Ivan. Anyone else meeting us there?
And don't forget folks - live cake porn throughout the weekend, as it happens, on twitter.

As a no memory person i got the dates of this mixed up

so Tedium / paddy my offer of a pit stop on sunday on your way back ,,,, I will have to cancel as i am working until 6PM unless of course you wanna turn up then (don't know the time of your ferry)

sorry and all that but i thought the G2G was last weekend DOH !!!

Packed .....

everything in the top box and a tank bag, just need to check the bike over.

I take it there are sheets and bedding provided, as I am not bringing a sleeping bag.

Really looking forward to this one.

See you all in a bit.

Cheers, Ivan

That creeping paralysis must be really getting to ya snorvey - your poor missus must be tired oot! Had it on good authority to give the A96 coast road a miss - Polis a bit bike happy at the weekend. Les (TTS 960 TDM) is up for meeting us on Grantown/ Glenlivet road and show a quick "B" route to Keith area. I might do a second map.......................

Anothe option incorporating Pict and Les ideas. Its 180 miles and looks good, avoiding the rozzer bits

I'll take along copies of both maps to the Bunkhouse

Snorvey, I reckon we'll have to go with Dandy on this as the A96 is a bit police-infested at weekends. So you'll have to stand the missus down mate - but thanks for the offer anyway. Let me know when you get your bike back on the road and we'll organise a day out for those of us in the Highlands and Moray.

A great weekend , great weather (until this morning) , great roads & great company.

It was good to meet the Irish & English contingents in Glasgow on Friday for a run up the A82. Pity about the slow going on the loch side , at least it got better after Crianlarich.

Friday night in the Italian was a hoot at our table , I think Paddy must be Frank Carsons love child....It's the way he tells em !

Fat Chap (Colin ) gets the award for the loudest snorer ! RSRocket (Rob )thought it was me and lobbed his towel at me......at least on Saturday night we knew what to expect and the ear plugs went in !

Saturday morning was bright and sunny and the run around Grampian was excellent. Thanks to Nanook (Joe) and his mate
TRX Pete for their local knowlege.

A nice meal on Saturday evening was sandwiched between a couple of hours flange watching outside the bar of the Cairngorme hotel...very pleasant.

Sunday morning was notable for the rain , my dodgy arse & the smoke in the kitchen which , lets be honest , isn't suitable for purpose ! The only real critisism about the bunkhouse.

It was funny when I took the bunkhouse towel out to dry the rain off my saddle...the guy who runs the place followed me out " Is that one of my towels ? " " Yes " " But you're cleaning your dirty bike with it " " No , I'm drying off clean rainwater with it ..... and last night I dried off my arse and baws with it ... so what ? "

The run back down was eventful , my light were fecked and it wasn't nice on the A9 , in rain with no lights. By the time we got to just north of Pitlochry the sun came out and Dandy (Alan) took me , TDMTam , TeDium (Chris) & Paddy around some very interesting country road entertaining us with history lessons on the way. I saw bits of Scotland I didn't know existed.

And I got my front wheel up in the air a couple of times following Alan along some yummpy single tracks...yeehaa !

Anyway....enough rambling on

Thanks to everyone for making it a fantastic G2G.

The pictures will be up soon...PhotoBucket is going very slowwwwww
