Got it thoroughly wet on the third day of a tour of Scotland visiting railway stations for my Club's annual Challenge. In total I visited nine from Ballater up to Forsinard and across to Plockton and six others, and rode 759 miles. First two days had lovely weather.

 

If you are in the area go see Dunrobin Castle and the falconry display, then pop across the main road and see what major landowning wealth bought as a personal railway station. There is even a siding on the platform, presumably for a private carriage to park.

 

I was escorted out of Armadale harbour on the ferry by a pod of dolphins doing the full "fly out of the water" move. Magic.

 

If anyone is intending to go thru' Fort William in the near future be prepared for major queues on the North and West approaches. There is a road development just north of the centre with a new roundabout.

For the past 5 weeks or so I've pootled about having fun on mopeds, or took my new BMW k100 out for a comfy armchair style blast. Tonight I took the TDM out and found renewed enjoyment of it....it felt light, pretty nimble, helps me to make good progress...... I'm still glad I bought it and kept it

Put a new PR3 on the rear. Unluckily it was raining today, so didn't challenge / scrub chicken strips. But steering is much more precise (as expected, squared almot concave)
