The jolly fine GMIII incident thread.

[TEC]

The low for me was not getting up the road in time to catch you lot after Tyndrum in the morning

I was prepared for a flashy tabbard, camera pointing at me and white PanEuro at THAT bend just south of Lix Toll too. But no.....

My highs and lows:

Lows:

1. Indy Photo almost missing the turning into the campsite, leaving me going "wtf?" and having to paddle the bike back to make the turn

2. the gravel fecking car park.

3. Finding out my tent-mate had come off on the way down.

4. midges

5. the left hand bend with the light up chevrons...nasty

Highs

1. finding out I still had a tent to sleep in!

2. appollo - maker of ace cups of tea

3. fun and banter

4. dismantling sally's tent while he was still in it... sorry mate!

5. meeting many really good people


I'm sure many more will spring to mind, just now right now!

Oh aye.. forgot about that one. As we approached I thought "This must be bad if the've put up fancy LED arrows"

and it was, it also fecked me up for the right hander after it.

Lows:
1. Midges at Falls of Falloch while trying to put a tent up...just don't bother.

2. Hearing Cumfy came off before he'd even got to the campsite.

3. Tent ended up being pitched on rocks at Beinglas and waking up with bruises...

4. The death on the hill RIP Mr Walker Man.

5. Not being able to ride on my own SV.


Highs:
1. Meeting more new folk and seeing the Scot orgers for the annual hug sesh

2. The Kinlochleven loop that knackered our tyres just that little bit more...trying to keep up with the mad welshman...

3. Coming down from the adrenaline rush after the loop and the pins and needles from holding onto the madly vibrating grab rail...which i deliberately don't do normally...

4. Watching SpeedyClaire trying to pile a ton of Labrador onto her lap after seeing Ralph do it.

5. Hearing Quiff had fallen fast asleep at some early hour in the night, blesh 'im...

6. Skye.

7. Skye.

8. Skye...yes I know it doesn't count but still. Skye

There will be more but I can't be ar5ed typing and thinking of 'em...
