Went to Scottish Boerders @ Easter, with Micky (from here), plus Legger and his wife Sue, Room 101 (Sue) and some of the Rainbow crew

Started off with Howie's unfortunate demise in Swaledale (reported last week), however once we'd put it to bed, Sue (Room 101) and myself pressed on.

We stayed at Graham Arms in Longtown and spent the rest of weekend riding around Dumfries and Galloway and rest of the Borders

Here's a few pics........................

Micky W @ Sweethearts Abbey, New Abbey

Went up the A68 from Darlington to Carter Bar this weekend :) Then first right towards Lindisfarne (no fog on the Tyne either :rolleyes: ). Cracking road, no other vehicles for 20 miles :) . Be a bit bleak in the winter though I guess :(
