You know those 2 stones that mark the boundary between Scotland & England?

If I wanted to ride there for photographs

, what road are they on?

Mmm, I s'pose Health & Safety may have moved them to the side?

OK, what road are they beside?

Should be OK in May/June though yea? :-0)

I'm currently planning a mega Scotland trip & getting together places to visit. I've got it down to 9 days so far but may add to that. Doing a clockwise route - West coast up to Ullapool then head towards The Cairngorms before riding to Lindisfarne & The Holy Island. So far my GPS reads 1750 miles.

A full ride report with photos will follow. (similar to this) :-0) Yea, I'm The Doctor!

Scotland, I love it!

I've got one, in fact I'm sitting on one now! :-0)

I use it on my PC chair.

It's great for long distance comfort but you need to get most of the air out for it to be effective. One downside is you do sit a bit higher up than normal.

There are 2 types - The Airhawk, made from neoprene & the cheaper Airhawk 2 made from rubber. If you can afford it go for the neoprene.

Have you ever been to the Old Man of Stoer (a 200ft tall torridonian sandstone rock stack) noticed it on the map a couple of years ago but couldn't find it on the day.

Weekend tour of Scotland

Have only toured Scotland the once and it was without doubt the most spectacular bike journey I've ever done. Normally just go out for day trips as the missus can't go on the bike anymore, the above trip was a rare occasion when I went away for more than a day :yo::yo:

The Torridon Mountains are spectacular, I'd urge anyone to ride up & explore.
I once stayed in Ben Damph & the ride there was breathtaking.
