Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #46 if you are doing that then recommend that you wander around the Keilder Forest around Hadrian Wall Graham
Graham
Winskill, North West England the long and winding road perfect for a bike |

Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #46 make sure you go west on the B6318 Military Road rather than the A69 - dead straight in places but very rapid changes in elevation makes for a comical ride Then B399 north up to Hawick before heading west again on the A7/A72 to Glasgow https://goo.gl/maps/odcH5WdhRmJ2 - under 5 hours so plenty of time for a stop at at least one of the Hadrian's Wall monuments |

corrected map link as the original one does not resolve properly and takes you north from Hawick |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #50 Thanks Dave, this is exactly the route I entered in TyreToTravel. Did not want to drive so far towards edinburgh, as we come there on the way back. In Edinburgh, we also have a motorcycle-free day scheduled for sightseeing. But I am still testing whether we return from Hadrians wall to drive at Kielder Water ago.

Zitat von Joogles im Beitrag #49 Thank you for your offer, I have already read thousands of Internet-pages and think many interesting things found and integrated this as well as possible in the tour planning. But they are usually not as good as the tips and tricks of you or the other members of scotland and very welcome. I have enclosed a picture of the preliminary tour planning, as the sections are I am now looking for hotels or B & B's. Of course we are particularly interested in beautiful motorbike routes. Curvy roads with good road surface which we can drive with sweeping angle. I think that's what all RS riders love. Of course beautiful landscapes, but I think Scotland has almost everywhere. The masses of overcrowded sights I like to let out or the group to love will be dealt with quickly. Of course, we would also like to get to know something of the typical Scottish, the people, the habits, food and drink and what you must have seen. Personally, I have a reputation for bridges, as I have already built some nice bridges in the tour, but the most beautiful ones are usually found by chance. Still to your profile, may I change your map entry? I was surprised for the first moment that you come from Scotland :)

Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #53 you'll need more than a small snack if you go to a proper café and munch a few hash cakes |

Holger - can highly recommend this guide from our very own Tarmapper. Seems like a quick and cost effective way of finding the best roads. |

Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #53 Long ago I lived in Amsterdam, and I know it's safer now, but go into the city and park your fully packed bikes in the center, not a good idea I think! It's very busy and stressful riding in this city, in my experience, and parking is allowed on sidewalks, but again I would't recommend it... I would recommend to drive on to the coast and enjoy a couple of hours, either in Zandvoort or Bloemendaal or further north in Wijk aan Zee. Lots of nice Beach Pavillions there to enjoy the food and the view. |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #54 So actually I would not need to eat anything, I already carry some stock with me and the dinner is already booked on the ferry. The cakes are then only in the evening in the double cabin to fall asleep

Zitat von GordonH im Beitrag #55 Yes, he is very nice. I have him after the presentation here in the forum viewed (as far as possible). But I already have some travel guides (in German) about Scotland, on the internet there is also a lot to read and there are many good videos on YouTube.. The tour planning is also already completed (all rooms booked), only the outward journey over Amsterdam is not quite finished. I am always catching myself with the rough planning for 2020 and I have the season 2019 not even started

Zitat von Gaucho im Beitrag #56 That's too bad, I've never been to Amsterdam and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a first impression. Where has all the goodness remained in man? Then probably one of us must guard the bikes or we find a snack stand with parking. Thanks for the hint. Look at your other suggestions, maybe we'll go there too.
