Glad you're back safe and had a good time, I escorted -ralph- back over the border (just to make sure he left) Biggar, moffat, haartside cafe, jedburgh, kleso, edinburgh home, 370 miles, 6 wet, the most localised heaviest thunderstorm i've ever seen.

Re: Home safe from the GMII
The Thundertsorm we encountered near Gretna was one of the worst I have experienced on my travels and I have ridden through some bad conditions over the last 18 years ..... I felt sorry for GP and Dave and tried to get them to an unplanned stop at a service station so they could dry kit out under the hand dryers and don their wetsuits ....... lesson learned here people , when packing panniers , keep wetsuits at the top for quick kit retrieval ;)

Re: Home safe from the GMII
Got back earlier today. Sympathies on the rainstorm, we got done twice on the way home. The first one at Invergarry really let rip, with a lightning strike onto the loch not 500 meters away! Crianlarich down to Lock Lomond was very wet to.

Re: Home safe from the GMII
I tell ya what , I`ll never take that road from Crianlarich to Glasgow around Lomond again , man that was the slowest I went all weekend , would have been far better and quicker for us to have carried on through Crianlarich and headed out to Stirling and under Glasgow on the motorway .
Did the lightning actually hit the Loch ? |

Yes the lightening hit the Lock we think, Mark had just set off and **** himself! I was fannying about trying to get gloves on and I jumped a mile! You could hear the air crackle and smell the ozone... |
