Rob here...
Sat with Tom and blogging from the bar in Fort William, it's true anti social behaviour has a new name. The team has now finally all come together. We have Ken, your stills snapper (with the magnificent moustache), Rob Draper from SingleMalt TV and his son Paul who are documenting the trip in HD...
Well the trip so far has been very eventful. Ken and I took 16 hours to get up from Norfolk to the Anderson at Fortrose. The Enfield has bags of character, shakes and does not really like being above 60mph. The Triumph is pretty much the opposite and is a dream. I have to say am in love.
The roads have been magnificent as has the weather so far. Swoopy S bends and some harsh 180s, but then some lovely straights to let the bikes open up and test their legs.
So we have picked up the first part of the blend from Highland Park. We were presented with four choices by brand ambassador Gerry Tosh and had to chose. Thankfully the choice was pretty clear. The one that stood out was a big, bold sherried number with bags of honey and heather.
Tomorrow brings the run for the ferry at Kennacraig and Islay with the western point of our trip at Kilchoman, Islay's newest distillery that came of age (three years old) in December.
