See you Gemmy

I'm off to to the English/Scottish border tomorrow to cycle the Adrians wall route, I've found a campsite to make a base camp in Longtown near Carlisle which has one foot in England and the tuther in Scotland and, from there, its a ' suck it and see' what happens next adventure , I'll be incognito for a while because I'll be surrounded by, nature and all that goes with it and as a famous actor once said,
" I'll be back "

Wish you well TP...beware of the Lesser Spotted Haggis...they're hormones are all over the pace...it's mating season and they will tackle a rolling doughnut...

Haggis with neeps and tatties is a good meal, but not for any sassenachs!

Och Aye!

Basil

Have you ever been to Scotland

What's that got to do with people commenting about you.....eh?

Basil

Because the topic is about Tom going to Scotland

No i have not been to Scotland, slap, and nor do i want to, if i want to see grown men wearing a skirt i will go to canal street

Twisted Wretch!

Basil

I have never been to canal street, but in the early 1970s we had a holiday in the south of Scotland, or as the Scots say in the Borders, but also in the early 1970s during my train spotting days, I would go to Glasgow and then ride on the Push Pull sets between Glasgow & Edinburgh, which I thought were brilliant, and I could not understand why they did not use that setup of train in the rest of the country LINK

did you have a parka on and have a little book?

Basil

Actually I did have a parka, which I had bought from the Famous Army Stores on Market Street in Wigan, and I also had the little hard backed book, the Ian Allen Combined Volume, which was the train spotters bible, which I would purchase yearly from Smiths in Mesnes Street in Wigan, but as I have explained several times before, I wasn't really interested in collecting loco numbers, which was done by underlining the listing in the book, I just liked trains, but that book was much more than a volume of loco numbers, it had directions in it on how to find train depots, I also bought the magazine 'Modern Railways' every month, which was good, the only thing I cannot remember now, is what I was wearing on my feet in those days

you mean like Roy Cropper

Trains Illustrated was the most popular railway magazine during the days of steam locomotives and first generation diesel mulitple units.

New Glasgow in Nova Scotia LINK

There'll be wee beasties invading his tent during the day, and at night he'll be hearing the hooning sounds of ghosties, goblins and lang-leggedy beasties to keep him awake; but, knowing Tom, he'll have thought of all these things, and taken special precautions to hold them at bay, with an AK-47 and some 7.62 cartridges.

We stopped in a B&B along Adrian's wall miles from anywhere but very scenic.Tom will have to be careful riding along this road there are a few steep dips in the road which are blind spots..

Fried egg

Scotch Egg!

Yes

And quite a lot of fox scat.

Oh Shit!

That owd wall mit need a bit of repointing while you are there TP....

No chance of that BB, It rained then rained harder and then rained more, Now I've come home it followed me,,,

Tom Plum news at 9 , wet, soaked through and completely wizzed off...

Well, Tom, I won't ask you if you enjoyed yourself.

Today has been grey sky, windy, cold and raining. A typical British summer.

I did enjoy myself Mollie but it would have been better if the sun was shining, I love the countryside and all that is in it, Open air, greenery , mountains and trees but, tree huggin' in the rain does not work the same when the floor is wet because, 1. the rain insulates the vibes and , 2 its cold to the feet,
I'll be going again soon,,,

Tom, you could've come with me instead, done a bit of diggin', then hugged as many trees as you wanted as I've got hundreds of 'em!
I'm sure my trees would've loved that!
And there won't be any rain where I'm going tomorrow!

Rough with the smooth TP. I'm off to Falmouth for a week next Friday....nice down there.

indeed it is BB, lovely castle too but, Hell of a drive now a days,
Tonker much as I would love to hug some Spanish trees, I have other commitments to attend to on the home front but Thanks for the offer
