I wondered where Moniaive was . . .

Boxerboy55 · Apr 17, 2010

. . . but I saw it mentioned on here so I went looking today. Haven't ridden in Dumfries + Galloway, but I think I'll go back for more.

Moniave IN

and Moniave OUT

Any port in a storm (iykwim)

So I met the B729 as well as the A702

Grabbed a cuppa here

overlooking a nice loch

And this is as Rufty-Tufty as I get - 10 mile Forest Drive

and a minute before this photo was taken the fokkkinnnn' bike rolled forward off the stand and gently lay down (but I picked it up quickly before anyone noticed)

then up the A762 alongside Loch Ken (ah didnae ken there wis a Loch Ken)

And home again jiggety-jig. 200+ miles. Nice one

Not sure when I'll get out again.

Great photos and looks like you got the best of today's weather. I was down that direction last Friday but didn't have the camera with me.

Today I nipped up the Campsies with the kids after popping into BMW Bishopbriggs. The weather was not ideal for a BBQ, bit wet and windy. Did get a chance to clamber around the falls to find some new viewpoints. Will return with a wide angle lens on Tuesday afternoon, after the bike's 12K service, weather permitting. Might even make it up to the Dukes Pass as well and its forrest trail.

Hey Micky - our bikes looking good there

Taken a couple of weeks ago outside the Green Tea House. The parsnip, leek and ginger soup was very good :drool

Must have missed that one. Though I needed a Pit Stop about that time. Saw a sign for church hall coffee + snacks somewhere along the way and almost turned round.

..........

it's just far enough in the corner to keep most people away and it's not on the road to anything so you get some peace and quiet.... :JB

Called in there today heading home on the Tiger. A great wee cafe and one of my regular stops in D&G

Boxerboy55 · Apr 20, 2010

Unfortunately the cafe was shut today when I took my lad down that way to show him that nice wee valley doon the A7xx

But we had to hurry home up the M74/A74 for his back shift. It was craaaap. Dry. Sunny. But cold. And the WIND. Jings. Still made a reasonable average home though

Too late.

Not many bikes about in D&G over the weekend though.
A few in Portpatrick on Sat. afternoon.

Only saw one GS all weekend.
