So,is there gonna be a bcf scotland trip this summer?

[----]

Theres been a lot of mention of going to scotland,im going anyway just thought it might be a good excuse to have a meet up there.

I'll be camping out the whole time (im not into the b&b thing) so if anyone is up for it,could we get a list going....

I was'nt planning on going anywhere in particular,just heading north west,and finding any woods,e.t.c. to camp down in.

So i dont have any routes or dates in mind,ill just go with the majority.

Would like to get a true idea of who's going (if anyone).
I did'nt put this in the area specific forum,as im hoping some of you southerners might join in?
Would be a good way to get some of you new bikers (learners) the confidence to travel,and being in a group will be usefull for any breakdown's/problems or anything on the way.

It wont be a fast ride or anything,so even if your on a 50cc you can still join in.
Any takers? or am i going on my own as usual?

i am down in cornwall but am quite interested in doing scotland as my first longish trip...

Well I'm planning on going to Scotland (all round north west, along the top and down through Inverness back to Yorkshire).

Will be doing this at the start of August with 1 maybe 2 others.

Wouldn't mind joining this ride in scotland summer 2008. Both my mate and I have passed CBT february so looking to get a good run out.

Can we tag along?

Im going to checkout holidays, now I have a date and hope to join you. Your ok with a couple of newbies then on 125cc?

[Saul Good]

Iill have done my test by then and my superdream will be able to keep up if there are learners

so I will probobaly be there, plus ive always fancied camping on the bike

[----]

Dont worry about keeping up
Im using my klr650 which is not the fastest of bikes (unless i have sold/swapped it by then,but i'll probably have something equally slow )

Dont know about anyone else who is coming,but for me it's not about speed.
Im looking forward to seeing the sights and taking lots and lots of piccy's

[DidierD]

Everyone's talking about keeping up, but if you can all read a map it dosen't matter if you get split up. Just make sure you make rendevous points and don't crash and get left behind

Im more intrested in eating some miles than going fast, I can go fast at home

But I think it would be better to be in the pack, even if im at the back with one or two other bikes

I think the crusing speed on a superdream (250) is about 75mph?

Anywho if ive done my test I will prob be there

[Dai Gestive]

I'd be up for it from Cardiff... Where do I sign up???

Chris

[Dougm]

still waiting on dates for hols before fully committing but bring on the 8th june 08

how many have signed up and where is the starting point? whats the route?

[Saul Good]

I really like the idea of having no destination or route, just a general direction.

I really like the sound of this.

shmoo is sorting a tour that sounds good but the more I think about it the more I realise its too close to my test (theory 1st of may).

[map]

When it's not midge season I'll be there

This sounds like its gonna be awsome. You guys all thinking June?

I personally can't do this but will be going up early August regardless so if anybody is up for a later 2nd tour maybe?

Regards

I'd be up for it. Gonna sort myself out with a tent soon as i'll be in Aberdeen for the summer and haven't been round much of scotland yet.

[----]

June sounds good to me...

My plan is to ride from mine,along to carlisle and onto the m6 north (a74) and heading north-west towards the isle of skye.
Then at some point i want to visit loch ness.

After that,just see where the road takes me.(but will be influenced by any woodlands/forest areas for camping)

Anyone is welcome.

hmmm ive always wanted to go scotland. im in plymouth but my bike needs a topend rebuild soon.. 18k miles on original piston+rings i did check the bore at 13k and it was like new but i didnt have a derestricted pipe back then . Also it gives me a chance to fit some Avon Distanza tyres and gear the bike for more cruising.


also dont forget some of us are on cbt's so we cant use any motorways which would mean A/B roading it the whole way!


im deffo interested
