Had to take the ear plugs out to listen to the silence.

























In the words of my mate Jim - Better put the kettle on again vicar to wash down those cakes.

Plough on

I was gonna go that way on Sunday but was playin aboot too much in the woods so time was running out. Loch Carron was as near as I got. I was tempted with the road out and up but went back and crossed the hill to the Kyle road.

Keithblade, Myself and possibly stumpydave & SteveD are heading your way in September, stayining on Skye - Might have to tap into your local<ish> knowledge and see what trails are available in the area.

Hi Darren,

All of my riding in the West of Scotland was pre Tenere and was all tarmac.
I was on the lookout yesterday for trails but time was passing and it seemed that those I did see were 'well gated'. The only one I headed up was marked authorised vehicles only near a small quarry/carpark so figured that I was not going to harm any wildlife thingys.
My trips to Skye were all on tarmac too so I would have to scour the OS maps myself.

Just wondering if 'Rybenuk' would help you on this - he's further South I know but might be worth sending him a pm?

Fiddich you trickster. Only half of these pickies you posted have a bike in them !!!! Gee i like the redish ones. Aussies were only offered black or blue. I chose black. Onya Bloke, nice pic's though, not much traffic about.

Aye, I'm sorry I decided that beautiful as my bike is, it couldn't quite mach up to some of the scenery.
As far as the colour of the bike goes, Yamaha has a policy in Europe of only offering the quality red ones to good looking blokes.
Wonder if they think Aussie blokes don't quite square up mate?
