busabeast Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 So owing to not being able to get out on the bike I have been given the green light to go out on the bike tomorrow morning though shes says i have to be home by around 2pm so as I have a good few hours available now I need to decide where to go, initial thoughts are head towards alnwick then head west ish towards Otterburn and off around kielder forest direction, grab a good few piccies and aim to return along the rollercoaster that is the A68. Did a small recce of the planned route yesterday in the car so have some idea of what I'm to expect.... Ride report will follow with pics and maybe onboard video footage from my camera system So watch this space..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 The promised ride report.... So got out on the bike alittle after 9 this morning and headed north on the A19 and A1 up to alnwick, there was nothing to really report on though just boring mile after mile of motorway riding....about 37 in all but once that was out of the way I reached the lovely little town of alnwick though I didn't stop for pics. I then headed out west towards Rothbury on the B6341 a very nice stretch of road and this is where I took the opportunity to take a few pics in the 2nd pic you can just make out the radar dome connected with RAF Boulmer. I then carried on towards Rothbury and stopped for a few more nice pics A few worthy of bike of the month here so when the time comes I'll be submitting. Once the requisite pics had been taken I continued on until I spotted an old ruin at a small hamlet called Edlingham which is an 11th century fortified Manor House and a slightly more recent church. Just so pete feels at home I went there for a pic or two though there may be too much greenery for him to take.... Once back to the bike I had a nice ride for the remainder of the road to Rothbury where I stopped for a quick tab and a can of coke, which is where I ran in to a mate who was out aswell to I decided to have a ride over to kielder with them though when I say with I really mean they took off as though they were riding the TT winning lap and for me that wasn't the reason for a ride today so I decided once at kielder I would have abit of craic with them and depart my own way to ride at my own pace and just enjoy myself instead of scaring myself silly with them two. Only took one pic at kielder though I can't seem to find it so you're all out of luck. Once my sarnie was eaten I remounted the bike said my goodbyes to ted and mitch and rode off from whence I'd came and retraced my way back to the A68, once found I turned right and headed south on to the rollercoaster which was alot more fun than it was yesterday in the car though I can tell you I lost my stomach over the crest on more than one occasion but it was now time to get home as I was getting abit tired so I decided against stopping for more pics. Nothing of note to tell of for the ride home apart from 1 cager on the A1 taking an exit ramp just to want to rejoin the A1 right where I was so I made them take the exit and go get lost. All in all a nice enjoyable mostly relaxing (if you discount the ride with the lads) few hours in the saddle. Hopefully it won't be too long till I get out on the bike again 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
