noice, back from scotland last night - was meant to be out for dan's (irksy) stag do in leeds.....
"I'll just rest my eyes for half an hour then drive down there......" zzzzzzzzzz.............
that was at 8pm when I got home, woke up at half 3 this morning!!! Feck!
Roads were good - I was staying in dunbar (only like 20-30 miles over the wrong side of the border)
but did this route... Not exactly a grand tour of scotland but I was only stopping for 2 days.
A7 was good, as were the back roads between galashiels and coldstream but jesus christ, they don't half put speed cameras in some weird places up there! Nice twisty road, got stuck behind 3 cars with the front one towing a caravan, the road straightened out onto a nice half mile long straight so I gunned past the lot of them & thought "Well I've got her singing now, I'm in the middle of no where, just a little bit more
............. oh shiiiiiiite there's a speed camera!!!!"
I was still bedding my new front pads & discs in but managed to pass the camera at about 64mph while still braking!
If the weather's good and you've got a map then I'm sure you'll have a great time
oh and watch out for the wild haggis! I nearly hit one as it ran out of a hedge! Think it was chasing after a quorn mebbeh?
