Many thanks to all for a great weekend in Bellingham especially to Nanook for arranging location and of course Dandywarhol for planning a brilliant ride around the borders, great varied but safe roads and scenery on a grand scale. Easy to see why so many drivers and riders have come there over the last 50 years

How many can we all name ( Jim Clark, the McRaes, Steve Hislop. Jackie Stewart (?), Jim Moodie.............)

all the best

Many thanks for the weekend guy's, though i only 'day-tripped' and did the borders run.

A special thanks to Dandy for the route, and to ynot tony for the run back on a road i had not previously visited.

I shall never remember names for all the folk i met, so, best of luck to you all.

Shit Bondy

Where and how did you get caught?

Got caught just south of Kendall on the M6. He was just pulling out of the services as I flew past. Just unlucky I guess.

A really good weekend folks. Thanks

to all those who travelled a distance, it's not easy (especially for 850s) and cheap these days so it was much appreciated.
