    On my daily commute I have a good idea of where the piggies might be lurking with their laser guns... :cool:

    Damn you! ;) I was planning a daytrip nearer home, but you woke up the call of The Highlands in me :grinning: and you've just cost me an eyewateringly large amount of cash I can't afford booking 5 nights in Scotland from tomorrow! (It takes me a day's riding just to get to the low lands.)

    A smidge under 100 miles for @Helmut Visor and I today, he rode his Nightstorm so it was a Triumph - only expedition.

    We set out fairly early in this beautiful weather (I am a very early bird, Helmut not at all so my preference definitely won out today) with hardly any traffic on the roads and did a beautiful route through Herefordshire, into Wales on the A44, turned off for Builth Wells rather than heading up to Crossgates and then at Builth Wells headed towards the A438 to head back to Herefordshire. We then stopped at a bike / car meet at a local venue which we tend to go to every month - it wasn’t as well attended as usual, but I suspect lots of people are away on holiday. We had a coffee, a burger from the BBQ, sought shade in our sweltering bike kit and came home. We didn’t stop until the car / bike meet so no scenic photos but it was about as perfect a ride as you can get and I am trying to sell the early starts to @Helmut as by the time we were headed home the roads were busy and packed with enough variety of bad drivers to get your bingo dabber? dibber? (I have no idea) busy to get your Hazards Bingo card looking healthy o_O.

    The road to Builth Wells off the A44 is not one I had done before - the A481 - and it was brilliant; it dropped away downhill straight away with a tight bend and had twists and turns, plenty of straight bits and above all gorgeous scenery. Absolutely perfect. Home to enjoy a cider and the garden :).

    In lieu of photos, I have included part of the route (possibly marginally better than nothing)…

    I'm near Ayr now (about as far as I want to go in a day) then have 3 nights near Oban; reversing things to get home. Off to get the ferry to Dunoon soon and explore the places I've not been before (west past loch Tarsan then up to go around loch Awe and by lock Avich to go up the coast to Oban.

    Day 2 of Scotand trip was to take the ferry to Dunoon and head across mountains and by lochs. Didn’t realise how long loch Awe is, think I spent and hour and half on those single track roads mostly through forest.

    The local post office provided me with lunch...

    There's more than 2mm of tread depth still, good for another thousand or two miles. (Avon Cobra's don't have tread in the very centre so that may be misleading you)
