Happy Xmas

Report to follow - report is as follows - the swell below never delivered on the promise and despite getting in a few times it never really turned on









Snow on the Devils beeftub.

Aaahh the B6357 finds fame at last

Noticed Evo mag used the Scottish boarders for their car if the year piece and curiosity got the better of me. Turns out they stayed in our wedding venue (The Roxburghe) and used my favourite two roads the 6357 and the St Mary's loch road, not to mention a photo that looks like the beeftub (Moffat - Romano bridge).

So just to remind myself I had a run in the Mini over the best road in the borders if not the country.

Hairpin at the top

St Mary's loch road eastbound just before the county line and just after the great mares tail.

One of the best left handers in the country, can take a crazy fast line.

First go at a bit of downhill mountain biking

So was staying in Mac Forrest so thought I would try one of the beginners runs. My strata rankings were pathetic and I was nearly sick riding up but good fun all the same.
