Well there is suddenly less than a week to go and its all slowly going stressful.  Ive been up in Scotty land this last week chilling and getting some good hill time in.

A couple of weeks ago now I took my bike in to have the drip looked at and got them to order the parts required………………. at this point it all goes a tad scary………. Got back from my first scotty trip and gave them a call to see if the part had arrived and……. NOPE!!!!! After a frantic phone call from the owner to the distributor it turns out it left Italy five days ago and has not beed seen since :-( This is the amazing Aprilia parts system in full flow!

So now with like 6 days to go before we set off Ive still got a dripping bike and no idea about where the part is between Italy and here.

Im also leaving it to the last min, but im thinking of changing my tent to a slightly larger one with a nice big porch.  Last year when I was up to Scotland the tent I normally use was fine, but the bloody midges we out in force and it would  have been so nice to be able to sit in a porch away from the bloody things :-|
