Yes weather was good Dave but as you will no doubt know it was 12C 10 ish although it got up to 17C at Windemere.

Did you get any pics of Muncaster Castle I went with the kids a couple of years ago and it is a stunning place on the edge/ middle of nowhere.

Can't believe you saw that black K12S

I was talking to him at Hein Gericke at Leeds on Saturday

If you look just below the water bottle he has a camera case stuck to the inside of the fairing with his visor cleaning gear in.

Looks like you had a top day Garth, as I said on the pm, there was a guy the spitting image of you on a K12S at Devils Bridge. Had me baffled at the time cause I've seen your 13 a few times !!

We had a belting day Monday as well. Will post some pics when I get 5 mins.
Cheers

Hi Garth, I took well over 100 shots at the castle, mainly owls.
You can see a few here

Nice place for a day out.I heard a sports bike getting ridden hard around the castle area, then silence. Poor guy on a Gixer had ran into a car, bike was a real mess and the rider was taken away in an ambulance,!
