Lone bike at the Departure Lounge cafe today. Then it rained - bugger.

 

braw run today,stopped off at Kenmore for a coffie Then on to the green welly,must be near summer cause usual sunday crowd there

Went for a pootle around the Yorkshire Dales yesterday and stopped to take a few pictures by the viaduct on the moors (Harry Potter fans might recognise it). Twas a bit cold that high up, there was some snow by the side of the road on the approach so afterwards it was off to Settle for a coffee and lemon drizzle cake.

 

4 Twins at the ACE Café, 2 black and 2 Blue

 

Had a little run out down the coast to Ravenglass this am and called in to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway (La'al Ratty to us locals) for coffee and saw this old girl getting ready for a run out.
Apparently, the River Irt is the oldest narrow gauge loco in the world, unless someone knows better

 

Nice bike good setting

 

I'll take your word for it!!

 

I thought they were supposed to be comfortable long-distance bikes?

 

Had a great sunny run today with Gary (reggie) and Lou (Loucas60) met them at Edinburgh Triumph and had a free coffee and chat before we set off along the coast towards North Berwick,then on towards Kelso where we stopped for lunch,Then we headed towards Peebles for fuel before heading home.Gary was taking the lead as he was more familiar with the area and took us on some good roads that we hadn't been on before which is always good.

Yes a nice run out today Dougie in great weather. Haven't been on a scratch around the Borders for a while now so it was good to check it out again. Thanks to Lou also for a very pleasant day (and for paying the lunches lol)
My treat next time guys

 

I've been on that train. It's good fun. Can you see my dog in the picture. Lol

 

Glad to know that Nardini's are still in business. Probably the VERY BEST ice cream north of the border

 

First went to Nardini's as a kid and then several times over the years for "high tea" etc, then a few years ago someone told me it had closed down. I've not been that way for several years. Does it still have it's cafe and restaurant ?

 

First experience of their glorious ice cream concoctions was during the mid 80's while I was stating in Largs and working down the road at Hunterstone. Even then there was a queue for the ice cream worth ever minute of the wait
Didn't they have a actress daughter who regularly used get her threepenny's out, only in the best possible taste of course?
