I set off from Manchester about 8am and arrived at almost 11am
The bike show is probably about a 10th of the show size at Peterbrough but the ride up the A7 is worth it.
Arriving on site , you know your in Scotland when you see a kilted marshal! He's probably rented in as token generic scotsman.
Bike park
There are probably a couple of dozen trade stalls to mooch about in .....
Some unusual bikes at the show.. like this reliant engined trike with a steering wheel !!??
The www.ukgser.com lads and lasses had a stall on site , I bought a couple of the site stickers to put on my bike as the last one got jet washed off. Nice to have a snoop at other GS's and check out the gadgets & bling.
Hardcore Round the World GS.
Apart from the obligatory Scottosh pipe band the entertainment came in the form of a stunt bi-plane show and a MX jump team giving it Big air ..
Talking of entertainment, one of the biker babes to drool over..
I went around the stalls about 3 times and saw all I wanted to so I left about 3pm ish
Pic of the river in Howick (I think ) on the way home
Anyway .. I enjoyed it , might even camp next year and visit the Wallace monument.
