I was in Forres today but in the car, left at 1pm and drove down to Granton on Spey, there was a big group parked up in the town , maybe part of the route?
We was there . . . don't think I spotted a Himmy though!

We were there; son on the Himmy and me on the Roadmaster, saw you both at the Huntly stop. In fact there were two Himmys that I seen. We were in the last group to set off.
Only one faller that I’m aware of; I believe the bike was totalled, not bad considering there were 301 starters. Hence why I left in the last group but despite all the briefings at the start there were still numerous idiots treating it as a race and basically going silly speeds and recklessly overtaking.
Guy who came off was ok; binned it at the steep downhill left hander at the Corgarff Viewpoint. Apparently he went wide, overcorrected and put it in the left side ditch, should have been a minor issue but whatever way the bike landed it went end over end down the hill.
I had a young lady on the back who had never been on a bike before so was taking it easy as I wouldn’t want her put off bikes; she loved it and would certainly do it again.

I saw the slide marks as we went round the top left hander, after being confronted as we approached by arm waving wifies 
There were plenty of people in attendance, so didn't stop and add to the gathering of well meaning people.
The lad did appear OK on his return to Forres, though his dad, who came in just after I did, was kind of distraught having just found out about to off
I did giggle a little bit though . . . the lads girl friend had kept a momento of the event in the shape of a lump of the screen/fairing that she'd picked up and stuffed into her rucksack. She was giggling when she showed it to the lads dad
