Borders raid

Recommended Posts

So on Sunday afternoon I decided to take a run out as the temperature was up to a near Caribbean level of 12c. I headed south into the Scottish Borders to the popular spot of Moffat but other than a sprinkling of power rangers and a few born agains it was quiet. My new exhausts were attracting a lot of admiring looks from the ladies.

From there I headed to St Mary's Loch for a bit of cottaging.

I was alone in the toilets though so I just took a piss instead.

Again there weren't a lot of bikes, I did speak to a Polish couple who were on a Harley Electra Glide and I had a cigar break.

Then I headed back using a single track road I wanted to explore.

This took me past Megget Reservoir.

I saw a few of Fred's girlfriends, it is lambing season to if Fred had been here he would have gone full nonce.

I then headed to Talla Reservoir, as usual the scenery was okay.

Going off the side of the road would give you a bad day here.

I eventually rejoined the main road and headed back to Edinburgh.

They could use that cigar for the smoke for the announcement of the new Pope

An old buddy of mine from clear back in Jr. High could relate to that pleasure....he was an Army Ranger (Green Beret equivalent) & was fast as sh*t as a sprinter on the track team...

OMG !! they've shot up in price in the last 15 years 😵

Not really, I smoke premium cigars for enjoyment, I don’t smoke every day and rarely have more than one during a day except when I am at rallies. That particular cigar is a large cigar so it has a corresponding price, I had a smaller one today that cost me about £5. How much does a cider in a pub cost? It’s all relative.
