Rounding up sheep

#1 Post by Okamoto » Sat May 24, 2008 9:22 pm

Managed to get a run out this weekend (Saturday) up to Layburn and surrounding areas...Brother picked the roads ... and chose unclassified ones! good fun and tuono coped well with cattle grids, horses, cow pats, 1" of gravel on hairpins, and loads of sheep :smt003
Bloody chilly up there but better than staying in :smt002

We also got a "quick" run across to the skyways cafe at Fridaythorpe as well. The wind must have been about 60mph across the tops. I've never had to hang on so hard, but it was at least warm

The queue behind 2 bloody caravans up Garaby hill was about a mile long (not that it bothered us of course). Those damn things ought to be banned or at least restricted to travel during the hours of darkness

Nice to get out though. Going to the TT this week, so .....................

Can't wait!
