I'm reasonably sure I will be there as per the first post.
Then I'll be off on the trip up to Durness, Tongue then south.

Keep in touch on here and we can have a good ride. For me it's about the journey and not necessarily the arrival !!

I do not do face ache and he knows it..not even had a text or call from him and his numbers no-longer work.

Ok so it's 18 June for you folks down south - I'm at loch lomond so can rendezvous with you on the a82 - this carry on with pikey is doing my head in so can all interested folk confirm on "muppets" if they are actually going - lots and lots of options for accommodation including camping b & b etc etc

I think someone should take the lead and start a new post .
You could meet up with Pikey on route.
If not this post will just keep going around in circles and no one will go no where.

I have met Pikey several times over the past 5 years and he does my head in with his chopping and changing ,
but that's julian for you ,

Meldrew - I'm not particularly bovvered why pikey has gone off the radar as you put it - a firm and exact date hasn't even been set for this so called trip - how anyone can plan for it god knows - I'm with Alanzzg on this one - a new ambassador is urgently required - how about you Meldrew

A very good CV Meldrew, pity you don't fancy a return.
Me and Steve W will be leaving Kent and going to Scotland, hopefully to meet others, I'm sure Julian will be in touch in his own good time. He's such a lovely man.

yes he is , but he is still a pain in the butt ,

I've booked a weeks leave so up for joining you guys on Sunday 18th June.
Steve/Dave - are you planning to ride up on Saturday 17th & find a half-way house B&B somewhere on the outskirts of Manchester or similar?

Medway, Kent
Honda Forza 300
Suzuki Bandit 650

Pete, I usually use the A1/A66 route and avoid Birmingham and M6, not considered where to stay yet, sometimes I get going really early (5am) and go straight up to the Highlands.
Accommodation in June should not be a problem. I think Julian has a rough idea of where he's staying, although we may alter things for us the soft southerners.
Good to have you along, which bike will you be taking?
