My HT550 (very long)

Post by PJG »

Here's my take on my first attempt on the Highland Trail 550 (unlikely to be my last).

Be warned, it's quite self indulgent and very long.

Ha ha !
Well I can't quite see the resemblance myself, but thanks anyway :cool:

Edit - I've been informed that you're not the only one to see the similarity.

Good stuff. I really hate midges so if I do the ride next year I'm hoping that it's cool enough for me to go full length trousers and long sleeve top.

NO SKIN ON SHOW, EVER. :lol:

Well done, Pete! :-bd :-bd Really entertaining. Midges were bad this year but only 1 night caused me real trouble at Kinlochewe sharing ladies toilet with Pavel Machacek :lol:

Yet another cracking read. I think I was the numpty who crashed next to you on the Ben Alder descent - also bent the RD, fortunately I got to Lagan before Bothy Bikes closed!
