Yep,it's been pretty good all weekend. We took the RT for a proper run, heading up to Dumfries yesterday via Gisburn - Slaidburn - Settle - Devils Bridge - Sedburgh - Kendal - Penrith - Hartside - Hexham - Kielder - Canobie - Locherbie.
An absolutely dire meal in the pub restaurant attached to the Premier Inn spoilt it slightly, but apart from a little drizzle in Dumfries this morning, we had a dry run home via Gretna Green - Longtown - Brampton - Alston - Middleton-in-Teesdale - Barnard Castle - Reeth (for an ice cream
) - Settle - Kettlewell 
The RT was staggeringly good at covering distance at speed and extremely comfortable (for a bike) - can't wait to ride one around California and the South West of the USA in three weeks

I'm going to have to trust you 'Southerners' with this......
The best way to get to this area is a quick blat up the A1 (roadworks now finished so it's 3 lane motorway all up to Leeming).
You can head off left into the Dales at any point but the best/quietest roads are coming off at Catterick and come through Tunstall. It's not a tourist route (unlike the Bedale/Leyburn road) and I have yet to meet a caravan

How wrong can the weathermen get. I collected a new to me R1200 a few weeks ago and was looking forward to the Bank holiday when the headlines of -9c + snow over the weekend was announced on the TV.
Saturday was a fine day riding with the lads down to the High Peak railway at Matlock, just a bit cold on the way back.
Sunday me and the Mrs had a ride over to Whitby, just a few snow flurries over the moors otherwise it was perfect for biking.
Today I had a solo ride over to Tan hill, lovely weather.
Thanks to the weathermen the roads were almost deserted all holiday.
