    I'm definitely a Viking by ancestor and definitely no musician :D

    Hi Eric!
    Had some good Indian food in Wick 27 years ago. ;)
    Do they still have that nice coastwalk?

    Cheers, Daniel

    Coast walk is still here but you'll find the Indian has changed hands about 40 times

    Hi and welcome.
    That is seriously far north, great roads around there. Nearly took a job in Wick, but looked at how long it took to drive anywhere, and said no. You got the best, and the worst :D

    Enjoy the new bike. :cool:

    You'd know Keiss then, I lived there about 8 years ago, I used to crew on an angling boat out of Scrabster , (Stormdrift 11), some good biking roads up there, enjoy!
    Still got that little bike shop in Wick?

    It's definitely a place you don't worry about traveling distance cause it's always long, but the peace and quiet is worth it
