Weekend camping

[jay85]

Well i have finally had the pleasure of my first weekend bike trip . Didn't get off to the best starts as the small club i'm part of decided they didn't want to get wet so they all pulled out but not me i was off work ans was not going to sit about the house all weekend so i set off for fortwilliam just under 140 miles from my home rained all the way but i still had a smile on my face all the way arrived safe albeit wet set up camp went and got beer and settled in for the night . Sat was dry when i set off about 10ish heading for skye then over to elgin to visit a friend just over 200 miles and ofcourse the rain was back on by 12 but it was still a good run up to skye love the roads and scenery in the highlands .stopped off at eilean donan saw some very cool bike and sidecars . arrived at my friends just after 4 and had a few drinks in the local pubs . Sunday was heading home day never a good day i was nice dry and sunny yes sunny but not for long as by the time i reached perth it was blowing a gail and peeing down so speeding was not a worry i stopped afew times on the rod home as i was getting a bit sore in the saddle just over 260 miles most i have done in one day . in total i did 616 miles in 3 days and the bike was great all the way and i cant wait to get out for another weekend maybe head south to darwen in a few weeks to surprise a friend any good campsites near by ? going to try and add pics hope it works .

Hi Jay,

What a fantastic trip.

As you are probably well aware, the rest of the forum was in the south at that time.
616 miles in 3 days probably gave you a bit of a sore b*mm.

Next time, why don't you come to one of our forum meetings ?
