Skunkmoto is on a distinguished road
Portpatrick

Or "How to ride 200 miles into Scotland and end up further south than home"

No, yer not seeing things, it really is.



Bypassed the A75 and took the coast road.





Castle Bay campsite, was OK, mostly statics and tourers not many tents for a bank hol, �10 per night.



The Castle.



The Hole in the Wall, well yer have to have a poke about inside, there might have been some treasure.



You're on top of the cliffs.



And the path to Port P goes along the top with some canny drops.



Or you can take the easy route along the old railway, though this is the perfect place for an ambush.



PortP, full of day trippers but good on a night time. Locals were all friendly and we had some canny banter with a few over the two nights.



Sittin in the beer garden watchin this, Geet Up.



Not a bad wkend, some good roads round Galloway A713 and 712 stand out, good pubs in Portpatrick, and laffin at Trailer Boy.
