Busy busy work work so just a taster of the Essex Lounge run to John O Groats I joined up with earlier in the week. Standby for more posts and photos. Epic.

Yeah, they stuck to their original schedule so I was able to join them for the Stirling - Ft William and Ft William - Ullapool legs. There was much wetness but also much fun, Baldyman on his Blackbird was laughing till tears ran down his face on the Wibbly Wobbly and everybody had a go at the limiter in top on the run into Achnasheen, about 100 miles from the nearest cop or speed camera.

I kicked the **** out of it on the last day - 325 miles and 8 hours in the saddle to get home - but I reckon overall I covered 600 miles of road I've never riden on before in my life. I need to get out of Glasgow more...

Here are the suspects outside the Youth Hostel in Ullapool

L-R Dicky Ticker (Sprint), Patrick (Mille), Pegasus (Z1000), Baldyman (Bird) and Samurai (R6). None of them are from Essex either!

Am i actually the only one who hates the wibbly wobbly here? - mind you when i hit it they had just recovered it with tarred pebbles! - nice to see some people having a go on the roads we know and love / hate lol!
