Have the 29th booked with a few friends, hopefully its dry at least. We done one last year. It was a brilliant day out. Hopefully they do a few more over the summer

That's the best way. Last time we just stopped ever so often looked at Google maps and headed on. After Ayr we didnt see another bike until we were back in Cairnrayn

I'll try and remember the roads we took and plan them out. They were brilliant roads. Mostly B roads and small side roads
Im going to be pretty much doing the below if any of the others, especially 125s want to tag along:
A Taste of Galloway Motorcycle Route
This route gives you a taste of two halves, taking you along good back roads, through passes and forests to Portpatrick and the other a more direct route.

No issue at all, as long as you’re happy sitting at 55/60mph all day long lol(70 down a hill, with a tail wind
)just took it from that site mate. Then I’m tweaking it to start and finish at ferry and if I’ve time maybe down to the southern tip
I'm on a we 125 myself so will be only 65 flat probably lolNo issue at all, as long as you’re happy sitting at 55/60mph all day long lol(70 down a hill, with a tail wind

99.9% sure that's the route we took last time. I'd be happy enough doing that again as most of the roads were brilliant to ride and the views were phenomenal. From point "G" at Newtownstewart you could amend the route back towards the ferry. We diverted down to Bladnoch for dinner in the Bladnoch Inn as my mate is friends with the owners. 4hours 54mins according to Google maps. We made it back to the ferry with about 30 mins to spare. That was with 4 or 5 30min brakes and a bit longer for dinner. Also a couple of wrong turns, pee stops and photo stops along the way. I would definitely recommend point "B" to "C" and "E" to "G"
