I was invited to a BBQ on Saturday at the top of the North Yorkshire moors, so it seemed only sensible to return home to Oldham via Scotland...:lol:

First, No 6 - Northumberland National Park
Image

Then up to No 1 - Cairngorms National Park, where it was a bit cold and wet...Image

After a night with the midges at Glen Nevis campsite, on to No 3 - Argyll National Forest
Image

then the short ride over to No 4 - Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National ParkImage

before the short hop to No 2 - Queen Elizabeth Forest ParkImage

and finally a run over a fantastic 17-mile single track road through the forest to
No 5 - Galloway National ForestImageImage

I finally made it home at 7pm yesterday, just the extra 700 miles on the way home :whistle:

By my reckoning, that means I've now completed 13 of the Rally points, numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 18 and 20.

But the rest may have to wait until I return from my trip to the States in 3 weeks B)

Nice one Paul – Good find on the Loch Lomond sign. I searched all over the place for something that said National Park, was that at the Gateway Centre?
In June this year I undertook the whole Nature Rally in one trip, in aid of Riders for Health

Right at the end of the slipway - the GPS point takes you down a private road (Pier Road) and it's at the end of that... Some of these points are challenging to locate :laugh:

I'm looking forward to it. Now, where's my Bronze award (now at 13 locations :whistle: )?
