Thought I'd better make the topic abundantly clear so that the great admin in the sky, Lord Coontybolix wouldn't have an excuse to defile it. :thumbsup)

So is anyone planning a ride out :-? Weather crap Sunday and as far as Yorkshires concerned all the decent roads between Yorkshire and Derbyshire are closed from 6.30am because of some fookin rare frogs. duh duh

Right , tyre pressure 42 front-42 rear, rain stopped, sky brightening up nicely so I'm going to take a leesurely bimble toward the boarders. First stop Deviles Bridge around 9.30 fer a sarny. Not sure what route from there but probably Shap and then Alston fer about Lunch time. Send me a text Jono no coms whilst riding :roll)

My wife can do the shopping and blow on her own fookin chips at the same time ambi, Amby, oh fook it, she's good with both hands and I'm a proper northern biker..........BOSS In me own house :wink) :mrgreen:

You dense, thick as a gurkha's turd twat. "T'old lady" is NOT my wife ( I wouldn't be alive if I called her that !) T'old lady in question is my 96 year old neighbour now residing down the road in a home. She hates the snap down there and is fading away slowly , BUT she will demolish a portion of fish and chips I bring her, most fookin Saturday afternoon.


So fook you Mr barsteward. Wales was it?! Hah....not exactly up North as you'd indicated was it ya dithering cnut.

Well time to do a summary of our splendid rideout last Saturday :ride) all comms were texts and calls on the Moby''s (Senapod free rideout) after looking at Les's post in the morning and using my built in Twat-nav and local knowledge :P I quickly calculated where we would meet (Eamont Bridge) 8) a quick call when I arrived and surprised he answered immediately "Where are ya Les".........I'm in a layby at Shap, I caught some fookin Hardleys up and there must be 200 of the fookers I'll set off now they should be out of me road now?
IMG_2958.JPG
Canhardley wait

Aye he was right I met the sad Bastids last year as well but I was luckily going the other way :clap: anyroad arrive he did..
IMG_2964.JPG
The man from Todmorden he say "I've Arrived"

After a quick tab he was ready for the off again, and onto hartside for Lunch :rockon) I was starving :thumbsup)
IMG_2967.JPG
Lunch at Hartside

After a lengthy lunch stop, we were off to Kielder in a one go :ride) trying to cram in as much as we could in one day :ride)
IMG_2969.JPG
Kielder at the Dam end

We took some pics at the dam end for a change, and studied the layout and how the overflow worked etc, (Just like to budding engineers would)
IMG_2975.JPG
The overflow

Then we were off to the cafe for some caffeine intake and nearlt forgot some pics!!!
IMG_2979.JPG
Who you taking a picture of eh?

Then we headed west a bit to our favourite section of road Soughtrees to Bonchester bridge :rockon) when we were half way Les had to stop and take in the views..
IMG_2980.JPG
Les's favourite bit of scenery

IMG_2981.JPG
A different angle

IMG_2983.JPG
And another bit

And I must admit these are my favourite bits in the borders :clap:
Then we pushed on to Hawick and arrived at 4.30pm leaving 1/2 an hour to study the Steve Hislop and Jimmy Guthrie rooms, and forgot to take some pics :banghead)
It was then decided that we head south and make a bit of progress for his long trip home! so we took the A7 south and with a slight de-tour due to Road closure, we deviated slightly and were back on track for Les's long haul south at Hollows mill ( find that on yer Twat-nav) we shook hands and agreed we both had a cracking day and would text when he got back.....I won't tell that big coont what happened at the pub :-? no matter how much he calls me tomorrow :mrgreen:

Well, set off about 9.00ish it had been raining up until then but the sky was just beginning to brighten up a bit, had no intentions of doing anything other than a leisurely bimble enjoying the scenery and if Jono didn't contact me at some point was just going to go up to Hartside for lunch and back. By the time I got to Cowan Bridge the sun was shining and I was ready for a fag and a brew so stopped at a small local shop/cafe and enjoyed the view.
100_0520.jpg
Whence I had come
100_0519.jpg
whence I was going
At this point Jono rang to say he was still working but was almost finished so agreed to contact one another nearer Carlisle to arrange a meet.
so oft I jolly well went. 8)
The traffic was very light through Kendal and so I had time to look at some of the town on the way through, how different it looked in the sunshine with no time table or agenda it was very pleasing, should really have stopped and taken some pictures. Anyway out towards Shap,bimbling along enjoying the scenery when fook me, me bags full jawdropping better stop somewhere.
Found this lay-by with a a bit of shrubbery
100_0524.jpg

ahh this'll do. :smile:
Just about to nip into the bushes when I heard what sounded like a train in the distance :-? waited a minute or two cos I was curious and then :shock)
100_0527.jpg

100_0530.jpg

Decided after they'd gone, better wait for a while so as not to get caught up in the parade FFS duh duh
anyways stops when I got to Shap to await Jonos call, right on time only just takin me helmet off when he rang
Some more picci's added to Jonos summary.

The coont went to visit some relations because of the "slight de-tour due to Road closure"
100_0556.jpg

hhmmm think there are so similarity's between the Scots and the Welsh

Anyroad so after we parted company I headed for the M6, by now it was wall to wall sunshine and the roads were virtually empty (Praise be :notworthy) :notworthy) for world cup football :clap: :clap: ) stopped at the first services on the M6 for a piss, a coffee and a cig in that order.
Went down the M6 to Juct37 Sedburgh, and stopped to take in the view (and some smoke of course)
100_0557.jpg

I thought the day had been brilliant and now to top it all off a trip down the A65 as I have never known it, once again thank you World Cup :D
