Featured Touring Recent Tour Of Scotland

I have taken some stills from the video footage that I took on the day five ride....

 

Day six we set off from Breamar heading for Jedburgh. The initial part of the ride was on good roads until we got down towards the M9. We stopped for fuel and @Dougie D joined us from his shop just down the road from the petrol station. We had another stop in Dunkeld for a rest and a look around the cathederal. Unfortunately it was closed, still it was an interesting stop over. Back on the road and the trip around Edinburgh which was a pain until we got onto the A7. This provided some more excellent riding down to Selkirk, before heading for our final destination of Jedburgh....







It would be remiss not to mention that it was @andypandy birthday while we were away. Had to get him a card, happy birthday mate....

Day seven our final day to follow...

 

Good clear images, nice angle and I think more interesting like that.

 

Great write-up guys. Lots of familiar images... wish I could have been there!

 

What a terrific trip and brilliant write-ups and photos, guys! Looks like you had a great time and got to connect up with multiple friends. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading through this entire thread this evening as I catch up a bit on forum news after arriving home earlier today after our own multi-day tour.

 

Ok so onto day seven which was our final day together. Andy and Alan packed their bikes for the final time and headed for their respective homes. For Graham (@dilligaf) and me, we prepared for a final ride together into Newcastle. This was to be my final stop over at my brother-in-laws and to see some family and to watch the England game.
We had a stop on the boarder to take final look at the fantastic views across the Scotland boarder area.
We then set off for Bellingham for a cuppa and a piece of cake. This is the village where we have held a couple of the forum general meet up's (GMU's). As we were getting ready to leave a guy turned up on a fantastic looking honda. He explained that this was his first ride out since completing his rebuild. See if you recognise the donor bike.
Graham and I parted company here, with him heading for home and me heading into the toon.












I had some spare time in Newcastle so I had a ride to North Shields quay for an ice cream.


This statue called 'Fiddlers Green' represents the lost lives of fishermen over the past decades

 

I totally agree - and great to see Dilli out and about...

 

All I want now is to get myself to Spain again

 

Hopefully next time....

 

Yes, it was fantastic to be out and about again
