Cheers Micheal, we love Moffat, the area and the roads there. It was a shame we only had one full day there this time. Amazed so many folks have took the time to comment in the couple of days the vid has been up. Best wishes Carol & Richard
Thanks for watching and commenting, always good to get feedback, especially from other content creators 👍Carol is the drone flyer, left to me it would be stuck in a tree long ago!
Good roads, enjoy your vids. Can recommend turning left at the old AA box(a few mins after St. Mary's Loch)and heading over to Megget and Talla reservoirs.
I know where you mean, I will add it to the lists of places to visit next time we are up. Thanks for watching the vids, appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
Well done Richard! That weather for the loop was fantastic and the road looked amazing 👍 we’ll have to do that sometime 😀 Mr. Weir knows his stuff! The Buccleuch Arms sounds a great place to stay too plus great drone footage. Excellent! 😀👍
Thanks 👍👍 Feedback from yourselves and your channel is especially appreciated as you produce great motorcycle travel vlogs. I especially like your hotel scoring system. Finally figured out how to do the Relive map now that you guys have been using 😉
This brings back some happy memories! I did much teh same trip as you and spent a couple of nights in the Bucc a couple of months ago, great hotel and amazing roads. Looking forward to going back!
Really enjoyed this and thank you. On the back of it, I've booked at the same pub for mid-May. Just hoping that it happens. I've watched a lot of your other vids as well. keep them coming. Many thanks.
Thanks you, we enjoy making the vids and it's nice that one or two others enjoy watching. The pub is a really great place to stay, Dave and his family are fantastic hosts and will make you feel very welcome. Hopefully in a few weeks we can legally get back out and make some more vids. Hope your holiday goes ahead and ride safe. Best wishes Carol and Richard
Wow what a road, reminded me of the roads between elan valley and devils Bridge in mid Wales. I've never been to Scotland but its on my list for 2021 👍
Stumbled across the Selkirk to Moffat Road back in September on our way back from the NC500, I thought we’d done all the best roads. I was blown away by it. A93 old Military Road still takes some beating tho😊
Great part 2 and loved the drone footage as always. Even though I'm in Scotland I've never actually done that loop. It's about hour and a half away from me and something I could easily do on a day out so one for next year.. you definitely got the rain on the way back that's for sure. 👍👍
If I'm honest the ride back was probably the worst days riding ever. Solid heavy rain for 250 miles. Just makes you appreciate when the sun does come out in Scotland. Are you in the central lockdown area? I struggle to keep on top of all the rules and regs in England!
@Banditmanuk yeh central belt, North Ayrshire to be precise. Luckily we can still go out but limit out contact with other households.. Yeh it is hard to keep up with everything.. 🙄
Enjoyed watching your videos yet again, the road/s to Moffat are great favourites for bikers up here. By the way Buccleuch is pronounced Buccloo, but having said that I was warming to your pronunciation. Looking forward to watching your 2021 videos. Safe riding folks 👍
I feel really bad about my Scottish pronunciations and no doubt I will upset some residents of Wales in next Saturdays new vid. I feel really jealous if you have these roads close by, it's an amazing area to ride. Had a absolute nightmare journey back home from this trip, torrential rain for nearly 6 hours!
Nice one, I love that route down StMarys loch from Moffat too. Did that route a few times earlier in the year and was caught out by the re-surfacing work. Copious amounts of loose chippings at the time, lasting several weeks until the cars and bikes sett them in to the tarmac enough to allow for reasonable riding speeds. Why they don't roll the stones in is beyond me in this 'Health and Safety' society in which we now live. Perhaps they use them as a traffic calming device? They certainly work in that respect, as apart from not wanting to be flung down the road on a bed of marbles, nobody wants their paintwork stone chipped. Sorry for the rant. Your video cheered me up no end and I'm gonna pull the bike out today.
Thanks Alan, think loose chippings are my number one hate and are a total nightmare for motorcyclists. Travelling as Carol and I do, the front of my bike including the fork uppers are peppered with stone chips, I've also damaged several Shoei visors and chipped helmet paint. Glad you enjoyed the vid, hope the weather stays good for you today. Ride safe. Cheers. Richard
Thank you Richard and Carol for sharing this great loop. Some amazing scenery and great soundtrack especially the first track would like to know the title of that one. Drone footage excellent again and editing spot on. The videos are improving every time each episode comes out, keep it up and keep em coming thanks again Fat Lad 👍
Thanks Steve, now you know if I was actually any good at this RUclips thing I would have linked the tracks in the description.😉 Will add them in when I get the old editing PC fired back up and let you know. Think on tour we are always trying to make our vids better, sometimes I film too much with too many cameras then it turns out to be a massive edit job afterwards Sadly don't see much more tour stuff happening this year now, might be a quiet time here for a while. Cheers for now. Richard
Think the track you mean is Long Road by Futuremono. The other tracks on there are Lunar Levitation and Heaven and Hell. All off the RUclips Audio Library.
@@Banditmanuk thats the one Richard thanks will use it in a future video just goes so well with riding, great choice. I've spent many an hour trawling through the audio library to find something that fits. Thanks again fella stay safe.
Fantastic footage again & lovely views with the drone. Which drone do you use as we are thinking of purchasing one but are confused with which one to get 🤔 😐 😉
Hi Amanda, this is shot using a dji mavic air, if i was buying a drone now though i would go for the dji mini, its smaller so easier to take on the bike, quieter, films in the same quality and its under the 250gram regs so u dont need to take the caa licence to legally fly it, (an added cost of £9 per annum) which reminds me, i neet to renew mine at the end of the month! Thanks for watching. C.
Hi I bought the Simon Weir Book This year and Guess what the C Word came about and that Kyboshed Every bodies Plans ,but i did get to Kettlewell ,Grassington in September and of course Tan Hill pub , ps i own Ducati Multistrada 950 S your vlogs mention you had a Multistrada too ,Possibly a bit more frugal on the fuel, think im getting about 48 mpg average . love the Videos .
Simon is the route guru as far as I'm concerned, he has literally written books on the best places to ride and stop. Arr the Multistrada, yes I owned one of the first 1200s Multistradas back in 2011, I'm affraid it was a bit of a love hate relationship with that bike. If you search out the vid 40 year bike history of this channel it explains what happened! Thanks again for watching
Hi Jay, thanks for checking out my channel. I think the roads of NW Scotland are beautiful. Certainly less busy with traffic than England. Southern England although lovely in many areas just gets very congested with traffic especially compared to rural France or Spain. If you do head to Scotland just be prepared, it rains allot at any time of the year.
The crashed white van at the bottom of the Devil's Beeftub has been there since 2002. A 25yr old woman came off the road late at night, amazingly, she only broke her arm with a few cuts & bruises. She then climbed all the way back up to the road to flag down a passing car. The authorities and locals decided to leave the van at the bottom bcos it was too expensive/difficult to recover the wreck.
It is amazing she got away lightly, that van is along way down from the road. I did do a bit of investigation before I uploaded the vid and left a note in the description. Guess its becoming a local land mark but I wonder how many people new to the area report it as a crash?? Thanks for watching the vid Rich, guess if you've seen the van bit you've watched most of it. Cheers and best wishes Carol and Richard
Thanks Ian, the sat nav will talk to us via Bluetooth using the same intercom Carol and I chat on. Trouble is it interups our conversation so I leave the voice commands turned off.
Hello both, I’ve just found a video of yours on ‘youtube’ after doing some investigating into using Garmin Basecamp, as I’m contemplating getting a BMW Nav 6. You seemed to be quite proficient in setting up a route to transfer to your Garmin and navigating via it, so can I ask you, if you were to go off the route your were following, for whatever reason, and knowingly miss one of the waypoints, does your Garmin have the brains to be able to re-route you back onto the route, or does it keep trying to send you back to the waypoint you intentionally missed, even though you don’t want to go back? Hope I’ve made myself clear 😊 Really enjoying the video, beautiful scenery 👍
Hi Stags, thanks for watching the vid 👍👍 Out the two of us Carol is more of the Basecamp expert and she can make and upload the routes just fine. Our Garmin 660 is probably considered old tech now but still works for us and I believe is still similar to the unit BMW use. Now I believe you should be able to go into the unit and tell it to disregard the last point but we simply end the route, re-enter it and when it asks if we want to navigate to the start we say no and it generally takes us to the next way point on the route. It's not ideal though and depends how many way points are in when the route was planned. Now I mention Simon Weir in this vid, he has his own website with a wealth of knowledge on planning and using Garmins (he also will plan custom routes for a fee) he's the guy to chat to. Sorry I cannot be of more help, sometimes we still find both Bascamp and the Garmin unit frustrating to use. Cheers and best wishes Richard and Carol
@@Banditmanuk Hello Richard, many thanks for the reply, it’s been a great help! Ending the route and restarting it seems like a good option. I will investigate into being able to disregard the last waypoint. The video where Carol explained using Basecamp was one of the best I’ve found! Thanks again and ride safe 👍
Thanks for sharing 😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 beautiful scenery
Thank you for watching, we loved our time there.
Brilliant yet again, I feel like I have been on holiday after watching that, stunning scenery, music choice bang on too.
Thanks Robert, really appreciate the kind words. We had a great time, glad that came across. 👍👍
Stayed in south of Scotland last year and was blown away by the views and the roads and Moffat was a must most days 👍🏼😆great video,thank you🏍👍🏼
Cheers Micheal, we love Moffat, the area and the roads there. It was a shame we only had one full day there this time. Amazed so many folks have took the time to comment in the couple of days the vid has been up. Best wishes Carol & Richard
Great little tour,well done to you both..Liked and thanks as always......🏴

Thanks very much, that was our foreign tour for this year 😂😂 Cheers
Another great video. Thank you so much for this guys.
Thank you for watching
Another great mini tour Moffat is one of my favourite towns always stop on way to Highlands thanks for sharing a really good video take care
Thanks Jim, it's one of our favourite stop offs to and from the highlands. Thanks for watching. Cheers
Superb scenic route and beautiful drone footage. Thanks for another awesome journey, almost felt like I was riding with you guys 🙂
Thanks for watching and commenting, always good to get feedback, especially from other content creators 👍Carol is the drone flyer, left to me it would be stuck in a tree long ago!
@@Banditmanuk Carol is an expert drone pilot and film maker too it seems🙂 👍
Beautiful roads , really enjoyed that 😎☝️that was one lucky pheasant 🤪 keep up the good work
It certainly was! Carol had to duck to mis it. Thanks again for watching. Cheers

It's great but pack yer waterproofs 👍
Nice one, an excellent rain suit is always necessary in Scotland, at least you had a good day :)
Thanks, yes a rain suit is essential in Scotland. At least it was dry for the full day we were there. Thanks again for watching. Cheers.
Magnificent! You never fail to impress. Amazing quality start to finish 👌🏼
Steady on you will have me believing I'm getting the hang of this editing lark. Cheers and thanks 👍👍
@@Banditmanuk believe it! It’s channels like yours that mean I don’t watch telly anymore 😊
Richard absolutely cracking views with the drone you have captured great m8
Cheers Paul, Carol is getting quite good at flying the thing now 👍
Great effort editing 👏 Enjoyed this
Thanks, that's nice to hear. Appreciate you watching
Stumbled across the Selkirk to Moffat Road back in September on our way back from the NC500, I thought we’d done all the best roads. I was blown away by it. A93 old Military Road still takes some beating tho😊
Lots of great roads here in the UK. We just need some decent weather to enjoy them. Thanks for watching
Looked to be an incredible day, ace drone footage too :-)
Thanks Pete, we did have a great day.👍👍

A question.... does your satnav talk to you or is it just visual please ?
Thanks Ian, the sat nav will talk to us via Bluetooth using the same intercom Carol and I chat on. Trouble is it interups our conversation so I leave the voice commands turned off.
6:59 Given me an absolute gobsmack. What a place to be
Nice there isn't it. Need to get yourself oop north. 👌
You should have stoped at the Greymairs tail just before St Marys Loch its one of the highest in Scotland
Just a flying visit unfortunately David, hope to return and explore the area in more detail.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment
