Just pulling your chain Kim after you said you were heading to Scotland to get the last ones this weekend !. ...but then again......

 

[GSears]

I'll get the last few in September/October when the weather gets worse. Can't stand all this riding in the sun......

Here are the photos.

It's not there, just like during the rally last year, but there is a prominent building behind it that will count, if in doubt just take an extra couple of pictures of your surrounding which will be sufficient.

Btw, How many do you have now Mike?? Enquiry minds want to know, but remember this is not a race...it's just an adventure taking you places you never otherwise would have gone! Wully doesn't seem to be updating the scores as usual...Wully where are you?!? hope everything is okay...

I think its 57 so far and it will take the rest of the summer to finish. My wife has dementia and I have to arrange my trips around dates when my grandaughters can stay with her

I think Wully is ok he got a gold and a Dragon award in the Welsh.

I am on my travels Friday morning 3 days touring the south west hope to collect 11,21,31,41,51,61,71,81 and 91 as well as Round Britain rally landmarks and a few more of Grim Riders post box & giant ride landmarks. Just under 800 miles in 3 days nothing like the miles you guys achieve but then again I have medical problems and I ride a twist & go scooter.

I have great respect for Iron Butt riders who can do 1000 miles in 24 hours and even more for those who do 11000 miles in 11 days

I just wish I had found the IBA 20 years ago when I had my pan I would have had a go.

I can appreciate your constraints, I was the carer for my 96 yr old mum, so my trips/rally's were also dependant on family stepping up...which was few and far between! Now things have changed I'm on the bike almost every weekend.

I also wish I had found this mayhem sooner, still a rookie after 4 years! Good luck on your multiple tasks this weekend...safe travels

For info RAF Leuchars is now occupied by the Army. As I was taking my photos a man with a large gun ambled over and said there had been a policy change and no photos of things inside the wire. (He explained a certain part of the Brass' anatomy was twitching). I immediately thought of two unlucky chaps on the ET 2018 who were stopped whilst photographing a power station. I made my excuses and left, unlike the unfortunates in Eastern Europe, on the EuroTour......

I got my photo in a few weeks ago when i was in Scotland

So, if you don't hear from me on Monday, it means the twitching brass has had enough of us taking pics of his toys
Which I believe we all pay for!!!

Don't worry Kim we will have a whip round for you...Plus ...... Free Kim Leeson protest rides. Maybe even a tee shirt !, a book deal !
Starting to sound like a good idea ........................

 

[Kim Leeson]

You had me with a t-shirt! with IBA logo, please

Currently, in Ft William, the weather North of Carlisle and roads have been sublime, some the best riding in the UK ever, I wish the RBLR conditions were this good!!... the view from my hotel in Ft W

Glenfinnan Viaduct? really? all I see is an RT between two trees, a gate, and some flytipping....that could be anywhere in Essex!!

Had a great run around the south west even managed the walk to St Enodocs nice and steady with a few puffs on my inhaler
