Reivers raid ride - Scotland 1

River Clyde - Abington

Scotland/England border at Gretna

Here I am in Bonnie Scotland, based in Moffat for a couple of nights and riding round some fantastic roads on my Ninja Z250SL Very limited luggage space but that’s the price for the great handling of the little bike. Reivers country this, the thuggish mobs who terrorised and raided the area for centuries.
The A701 up Tweeddale and down in to Moffat is on many bikers’ list of favourite roads, now I can see why and you definitely have to ride it to understand. Long enough to get your teeth in to, so to speak, but varied enough so it’s never boring. Height gain and loss, straight and sweeping curves or tight bends with almost no visibility round the corner.
