Perfect time of year for it. I'm heading through The Dales as part of The West Coast 1850 this Thursday. Just prepping the Stelvio for 10 days or so on the road. But for that distance I may just throw some fresh oil and a filter at it oh, and bump the rear shock up a bit. See ya in North Yorks so I will.

It's an excellent route, I did it with some pals about three weeks ago starting and finishing at Corbridge with an overnight stay near Berwick. We didn't bother going to Holy Island but if you decide to add that leg then don't forget to consult the tide tables.

I don't exactly know yet either so I don't. But already have accommodation booked along the way. So join the dots with a wiggly line and throw in a few ferries to make it work.

Not the pic's we were hoping for Min.

You beat me to it, Dave. Sorry for your trouble, Min but I love your philosophical attitude to it all👍🏻

Let's hope the ECU  is still good . Will be interesting to know what went wrong . 

Nice setting, pity about the lack of bike.
