I have just updated the National Cycle Network sub section of my website. By adding more photos of NCR 74.
I took these photos while driving up to Glasgow on 18th May 2014. I did, of course cycle this section of the National Cycle Network, while doing the End to End cycle, back in August 2009.
Yet another fun filled day in Scotland. Today along with Neil and Jamie (thanks to Jamie for driving), we went to see The Falkirk Wheel, The Kelpies and The Forth Bridge. Neil and myself have both seen the Falkirk Wheel before. It was James first time! Then we drove to see The Kelpies. I really liked them. Don’t think Jamie and Neil was a fun of them.
Then we drove down the M9 to South Queensferry. So we could go and look at The Forth Bridge. In all my years of living in Scotland, I have never been The Forth Bridge. Been on the road bridge near to it. But till now, never been right next to it! Till today that is!
We also had a very nice meal while at South Queensferry at a place called The Railbridge Bistro. If you are ever in the area and looking for somewhere to eat. I would check it out!
I had so much fun in Scotland, already making a list of places and things, I want to do when I am next up!
I had great fun driving up to Oban today! I went up with two friends. Neil and Jamie. We left Killearn around 11:00am and did not get to Oban, till gone 2:15pm.
Would have got there sooner, if we had not taken a wrong turn! Oh well these things happen. We did not mind that much, since still got many good photos on the wrong road, before turning around. Just meant we only had 1 hour in Oban. Since I had to be back home by 6pm! To go and see my bother and his wife in Glasgow in the evening.
Also can’t believe for the third day in the row it’s not rained! What is going on??
Driving up to Oban

Big thanks to Greg for letting me try on his Team GB Lycra cycling skinsuit :).
See look, while I was in Glasgow! I really need get another mate in my neoprene sleepsack! He’s called Greg BTW and can’t wait to read all about comments!
While up in Glasgow, I got a mate to wear my Cannondale Pro Cycling Team gear. Not that he needed much talking around to trying it on!
He also wore my sleepsack! Photos of that to follow…
I had a great day in Glasgow getting lots of photos and seeing friends! The weather also turned out to be that nice, I am getting to get a tan!
Bridge to Nowhere (Anderston Footbridge)
The first 4 photos show the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’. Check out www.sustrans.org.uk/news/bridge-nowhere-finally-going-everywhere-1 to see to see why it was called the ‘Bridge to Nowhere.’
Various photos around Glasgow
I can’t believe just how good the weather was during the drive up to Killearn today. It was so nice, I had about had the sunroof fully open the whole time.
So good weather also made, me stop a lot and take photos of photos. I took 45 in total. You can check out a small selection of them below.
Driving over the A66
The first four photos are taken while driving over the A66, which is one of my favourite roads in the UK.
B7076 (NCR 74)
The next photos are taken along the B7076, which runs along mainly next to the A74(M). I use this road, mainly to get me off the motorway for a while. Also love this road, since I used it while doing the End to End cycle back in August 2009. Since National Cycle Route 74 (NCR 74) follows the road.
Here are some photos from the FA Cup Final themed evening we had at the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium last night (Saturday 17th May 2014).
Got bored of having long hair!! So got a 3 all over!! Here are some photos, to show I really did it! Please all comment!
