I'm here - I won't be doin any melting or anything else involving dykes. Looking forward to something, someday. My house will be open for tea stops (just off A9, overlooks the sea) just North of Brora - and there's a superb chippy further North in Helmsdale. In fact, any rider wants to stop by is more than welcome - parking (10 bikes+) and a bit of shelter. Just PM me to see if I'm about. I had half a mind to open a Biker Cafe thing in the summer for those goin up to JohnOGroats or whatever. For now, though, no charge!
