« on: 24 January 2016, 10:12:39 am »
So......what can we expect weather wise this year ?.......took the last week of july and the first of august last year as holiday hoping to get upto scotland on the bike.....ended up with 3/4 days out bimbling around the south coast, weather was showery the whole 2 weeks , if its bad down south it was only going to be worse north of the border.....

 There's only 3 types of weather in Scotland- raining, been raining and about to rain!  :lol
I don't know about summer but from previous years when the east coast of the US
gets it bad i.e. now, we can expect snow in the British Isles once it crosses the Atlantic.

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

They don't have seasons in Scotland - the rain just gets warmer  :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

You can get lucky. I took my gen 1 round Scotland a couple of times. Both times the weather down here was awful, got to Scotland and it was sunny and dry. As I'm normally an unlucky bugger and have a reputation for making it rain every time I get the bike out, maybe I should have bought a lottery ticket both times.

Mind you, my exhaust fell off in Keswick so not that lucky.

Only the shaggy ones with the long horns can give you a proper forecast. Thing is, they don't know the meaning of cold cos they're well hairy and probably drink Irn Bru.

I reckon it is a 10 year cycle and we've already had 5 years of shit......so that only leaves another 5 years red......by which time you & your bike will be..........antique :lol


Looking forward to 2020-2030 :sun :sun :sun :sun :sun
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

Really? I'm down the road from Windsor Great Park. Will keep my eye out for the cows and Firearm Phil!
