From the Isle of Man I got the ferry back to the mainland and rode to Edinburgh to visit friends for a few days then back to Hastings to do an Oil and Filter change, fit new tyres and do final checks on the bike before I set out for the Continent.
The ride to Scotland was fine right until I got to Edinburgh where it had to rain hahaha.

If you zoom in you will see the front of the helicopter hiding behind the bushes in front of the castle, its on the ground not in the air.
