Re: Road trip - Scotland
And we're up and running again. Prompt despatch by Busters and a speedy delivery by DPD meant the relay arrived early this afternoon. 15 minutes later it was installed and I was able to get into Kircudbright and back without needing to bump start the bike.

Re: Road trip - Scotland
Kudos for ordering the part and getting it fixed along the way.
Hoping the rest of your trip will be smooth sailing from here on out.

Re: Road trip - Scotland
Excellent, I didn't have a good experience with DPD
Enjoy the rest of the trip, I hope for no more about woes

Re: Road trip - Scotland
We're now down at Scotland's most southerly point, the Mull of Galloway. Sat in the cafe next to the lighthouse eating a second breakfast. Fabulous views, very few people, and a quite remote feel.
I'll post pictures when we get home, can't be bothered with faffing on the phone! |

Re: Road trip - Scotland
Well, a cracking day today, Great weather, superb views, good roads, and we arrived back at our holiday accommodation to find that our host, Elaine had baked a birthday cake for Sioned and Eleri. They were 16 today. I think they've had a birthday to remember!
We're off to have a ride around the Galloway forest park area tomorrow. Last edited by garynortheast; 25-07-18 at 11:16 PM. |
