Go on then…..

Spent last weekend in the Scottish borders with a bunch of mates doing what we do best - breaking stuff!  We stayed here at the Criffel Inn and would recommend it to anyone (including families) who want to explore the 7Staines.  Great digs and food and the owners are bikers too so they understood our strange ways (mostly pre-ride fettling in the car park).  The photo above shows young Jim on the left, Andy Moore in the middle and Craig Tabiner on the right, check out more photo’s from the trip by clicking on the pic or just go there yourself.
