Packing for Scotland



Heading off for 5 or maybe 5 1/2 days (depending on traffic) riding the 7 Stanes trails in the southwest of Scotland - not sure what to expect! There are several groups making their way up to the B&B near Dalbeattie, some from as far a field as Holland. I'm just hoping I can keep up with the pace set by the rest of the gang. The one thing I'm sure about, is that it's going to be a long drive in a hire van.

I hate packing....

Computer problems!! Struggling to recover my photo's from the day. Please check again in a few days, I'd managed to post one onto my new facebook page before the computer gave up.

*Update. I've put a few more on flickr

The frameskin arrived today for my Giant Trance X2, I took a gamble and bought the 'skin' for the 2011 bike. My Trance is the 2013 model, but I've been told that the frame is basically the same. Only time will tell!
The film itself is Avery automotive film, checking their website for information shows that it's got a 7 year guarantee. So it should resist yellowing and cracking, which was a concern. There's also a video on the site with instructions on fitting the film. I'll post some photo's if the installation goes well.
