Who's home and dry ?!!

[Voyager]

Being a local, I was home by 13:00 hrs.

As I left Glen Clova, an heroic band were pushing 'Tuned' on his bike, trying to start it - I hope they got it going.

And a few more pics.

1. One day, BMW will fit a reverse gear to the GS as well as to the K1200LT !

2. We didn't just have GS' at 'The Gathering'.

3. 'Wayne' didn't really have to bring his fridge to guarantee cold beer !

4. The 'Gathering' in preparation for Saturday's runs.

5. 'Thunder & Mrs Cheeks' like to be noticed

Great weekend, BIG thanks to all those who helped organise and very well done on the £££ raised.

Ride out was great despite the weather, hard to say if you were going through a ford or not, it was all the same.

Any good meds for trench foot?

PS forgot to pick up Chucks jacket from room 'clova' at the bunkhouse, sorry.

And my last three pics (I do have more but do you really want to see endless pictures of GS' ?).

1. Stumpy's run find the only bit of dry road in Scotland and take a break.

2. A wet lunch stop in Ballater.

3. You can't take 'Arcboutant' anywhere . . here he's advertising his favourite establishment . That's 'Packer' to his left, Mr & Mrs 'Hovis' in the background and Mrs 'Cool Carbon' in the foreground.

I look forward to seeing more pics soon.

Home at 10.15pm after taking the scenic route to Stranraer via Fort Bill where the sun was shining,mind your p*****d down from Tynedrum - the Boat and still is. Good to have met some old friends and put faces to new ones.

Well done to all who took part in the orginisation of the event.

Many thanks to Ronno, GC and all others involved in organising the weekend. Unfortunately I could only manage the Saturday evening as I was just on my way back from 10 days in Europe and cocked up on my dates.
I think I must have had a bad packet of crisps as my heed was well and trully ringing this morning and I don't think I should have ridden to be honest.

Great to put a few more faces to names. I enjoyed the whisky tasting which I didn't think I would

Weather was awful but not as bad as Germany and Belgium. Worst of the weather was the north side of the Cairn'o'Mount to home.

Nice one guy

Couldnae organise a piss up in a brewery...
Enjoyable day and a half that I was there. Apologies for the weather
Spoken to Tony already.

Hi all, i came up for the run (or drooking on the Sat) enjoyed it, thanks to all, especially Rono for making me welcome. Best wishes Stephen.

First of all, many thanks to Ronno, GC and any other organisers for an excellent, if moist, Saturday.
Glad to see the raffle, auction, etc was such a success and raised a good deal of money.

Apologies for not saying cheerio to everyone after the run but the home was calling and I
didn’t feel like getting all comfy at the hotel then having to set off again.

Home at 18.30, a bit knackered, and it was still dry in the Stonehaven area on the way.

The run was fun, the dry stretch livened things up, I managed my first ford (had to stop and think about it first though),
not sure about the mild , as Ronno calls it, off-roading.
Thanks to GC for his patience on that bit ,
he’s probably still wondering how somebody can actually go that slowly

One highlight of the run was Skynet demonstrating his sound system in the car park at Braemar

Nice to put some more names to faces, hope it’s not too long before we can meet up for
another trundle round the countryside.

Stephen, It was good to meet you on Saturday and glad you enjoyed yerself. Pity about your first UKGSer Run being so dreich!!

I see you've made the plunge with your first (hopefully of many) post You should call into the Newbie section and say hello.

Hope to see you again soon, mate.

Big thanks to all involved in making this an enjoyable if not wet weekend, the scenery would have been astounding in the dry, but even in the wet it had its moments.

Made it home later than we planned thanks to the battery on the bike picking Sunday morning to give up the ghost, but got here eventually.

Dukes Pass on the way over on Friday, brought a grin to all who rode it.

The Falls of Dochart, lovely location with a nice hostelry if required.

 

[The Bede]

Shit weather, great gathering!

... Safely back yesterday around 5pm. Missed most of the weather but caught the outpouring of bikes leaving Donnington (Why don't sports bike riders use their mirrors )

... Thank you Ronno, Christine, Gordon, Kathleen, Stumpy and all for getting so many together in such a beautiful place loads of fun :drinkinpa

... Bollox to the weather.
