Thanks for that
Never done that road on the bike but quite a few times in a car.
Some of the dips if taken at speed are akin to being in an express elevator, you can actually feel the changes in G.
Bike wise a lot of it is long straights and few bends but I agree its real top of the world stuff, definitely worth a ride along and then there is all that history too

Know that road well, dangerous at high speed due to some of the dips and ability to hid vehicles from view. Also watch out for tractors.

Fascinating! One of these days ... I'd love to take that very ride. Beautiful countryside! Britain has always seemed a charming and magical place ...but Of course, I've never been there!

"I guess that's why it's called Hadrian's wall" :laugh: Love this guy :thumb:

I live about 20 miles from the eastern end of that road and it is a favourite of mine. I was across it both ways two days ago, absolutely deserted, mind you it was chucking it down and blowing a gale but as luck would have it I was in my van.
Not only do you have to watch for tractors, you have to keep an eye out for people driving like this.

That video makes me want to go there. Now all I have to figure how to fund the trip.

Interesting place. The open countryside looks like Oklahoma with a wall. And Roman history. And Brits and Scots :laugh:

So where did the Picts go?
-
Lovely country up there - but best seen on foot.

There is a fella in Ft Gibson that has spent the last 20 years building rock walls in his yard , his name is Joe , or Bob , or Fred :laugh: Wonder if a thousand years from now they will known as Joe's walls :rolleyes:

If he suddenly becomes the ruler of an Empire stretching from the Persian Gulf to the UK and including most of North Africa - perhaps. If not, he'll descent into righteous (and probably well deserved) obscurity like the rest of us.
