Well, we stay in Scotland, Morayshire. But we do tour around the country for weekends all season round so If we know when you're up north we could possibly meet up?

Ey up
I`m near Edinburgh, and chances are I`ll be faffing around Scotland next year as well,, maybe on a 1959 Lambretta though!!,, but mostly on the Ten

Last year me and the missus got the Island hopper ticket and fired across to Barra from Oban,, travelled up the Hebrideas to Stornaway, back through Ullapool , to Skye etc,, fantastic trip,, camped the whole time (cept firing across to a Hotel for one nights bath and hair straightners!!,,not me like !)

Enjoyed the whole thing,, but wouldn`t bother with Skye again,, the best bit about Skye is the road along the Kyle of Lochalsh which is amazing,, but then I`d turn around and go back somewhere else!! hahaha

Maybe bump into you,, specially if there is an ABR meet on

If you're up Scotland end of April beginning of May take in the pre65 trial in Kinlochleven & the Scottish 6 day trial in Fort William while you're up there.
