    Wow, was not even aware of this place. Another to add to the list. Sometimes i wish i lived closer to that area of the UK.

    • @blippety
      @blippety  2 года назад +1

      Hardly anyone knows about it which is great for whoever decides to ride it! Hopefully it gains in popularity though and encourages more commerce to the area!

    Dear Graeme,
    Thanks for the video, it reminded me of times past when I used to live in bridge of Weir.
    I've now been in Ontario Canada for over 50 years and do much of my riding on gravel roads in our area.
    Cheers!

    I didn't know about this route, so I will add it to the list, thank you. I rode the A713 from Ayr to Castle Douglas in Sept last year.... that's one that deserves a return trip to try again, it really opened my eye to Dumfries and Galloway, which I think is a hidden gem.

    • @blippety
      @blippety  2 года назад +1

      Yeah it is and you're right about the hidden part. You never hear people talking about it up here past the odd trip to Port Patrick or similar. Definitely add it to the list as you say!

    Informative video. The route map is really handy.
    Something I hadn’t realised is that the SC300 is actually pretty well west of the Northumberland250.
    I’m planning to do that in June. (I have 10 days in a Microcamper and am now thinking of combining both of these routes for a mega trip that’ll be longer than the NC500 that we did this March.

      I know, ended up a third of the length of the NC500 vide. Granted that was 5 days, 4 nights and this was just 2 days with 1 overnight.
      June will be a brilliant time to go, hope you enjoy it!

    Hi Graeme - because I subscribed I’m now seeing more of ur vids - this time the sc 300 really enjoyed this “food for thought “ working my way through a bottle of Bladnock 11yr old just now - does life get any better than motorbikes and whisky 🥃?? Loving your Ducati monster - respect to all biking genres- but have you ever considers an adventure bike ?
    “🥃”...

    • @blippety
      @blippety  2 года назад

      I'm about a quarter way down a Bladnoch 11 and half left of a Bladnoch Vinaya here, the 11 is great!
      The adventure bikes seem a bit sensible for me at the moment (although the quick ones are indeed rapid) but wouldn't put it past me off in the future!
