Awesome Micky, glad that you are safe.
That postie is the epitome of an awesome steed.
Say Hi to Dave and the rest of the Smiths for me.

There's only one accurate way to find out the actual range on reserve
May as well meander home, no rush, enjoy the pubs. And your wee Honda will be feeling a little delicate this morning after its night with a big boy.

The wind can do what it wants, and is of no concern to me .... when you share a room or a cabin with Herr Watts there is nothing that the north sea, the wild Atlantic or Hurricane this that or the other, can do to be worse 
Last nights curry at the Buchleuch ... well I took a gamble. Going to be on the ‘bike tomorrow, but I took a gamble nonetheless ...
It was hot’n spicy, delicious, and I need not have had any concerns
Contrary to the weather forecast, this mornings ride was in beautiful sunshine. A little bit of motorway work got me in to Swaledale, one of my favourites. The most northerly Dale, t’is quieter than the others, and this was the kinda road that the Adventure Cub was made for. We had it to ourselves ...
But it was bloody windy!
So I pulled one out of the blue, and headed for The Bridge Inn at Grinton. Now I’ve ridden past this place hundreds of times over maybe the last fifty years or so ...
View from my room
It’s a 17 Century Inn with a 21st Century attendee ...
Call me old fashioned if you like, maybe I’m not keeping up, but this family is out, as a family, for dinner, an evening meal ....
... and they let the brat play with an iPad (or similar) during it
My meal was OK, rather mundane, but palatable ... nothing to complain about, but neither anything to sing about
Fuelled up in Moffat this morning, refilled the gerry can ... home tomorrow. The fat lady is on the stage warming up for her song ...
Oldrat has suggested a UKGSer competition whereby you guys suggest a name for the Adventure Cub ... good idea Brian
So if you guys want to suggest a name, and I go with it, there will be a drink behind the bar at the Buccleuch Arms for you
BUT I’m not forced to have to pick one. Bit of fun really eh
BUT if I do select one then it will be adorned on the likkle Cub, and you will have a good drink out of it

Bloody good job Mick.
You've been on a 3 week expedition, taking a motorcycle to some of the most remote parts of the UK, and shared it with us, proving again that age is just a number.
You've overcome difficulties with weather and ferries that would have seen lots scurrying for home.
It was great to see you and look forward to your next visit.

As Gerard said.
Looks a nice wee pub that, duly noted. And family duly noted, kid should be interacting, not on a toy. Same goes for adults in a group.
Have a good ride home, I'll think on the bike name. We need a week or two!
