On the trail of Wojtek the Polish Soldier Bear in the Scottish Borders on the Honda Monkey. Wojtek, originally from the Iranian mountains, ended up being recruited into the Polish army and even fought in the battle of Monte Cassino. For more information on Wojtek see the link below.

We also take in the Duns loop over the Lammermuirs, a great run from East Lothian. We head down the Longformacus side and back up past the Whiteadder Reservoir.

I am friends with the Borders farmer lady who is responsible for the Wojtek statue in Princes Street in Embra where Wojtek lived with Polish troops on her Fathers' farm.. My Dad was part of the Polish forces in WW2 in Italy at the battle of Monte Cassino, and ended the war with The 1st Polish armoured division in North Germany. He knew of Wojtek and often took me to Edinburgh Zoo when I was very young to "meet" Wojtek . An fascinating story :)

It’s all about the Monkeys and the Bears ! Great story, I reckon it’s true. Glad you are enjoying life on the Monkey too. I find they are so infectious to ride, and I now begrudge spending fuel money on my bigger bikes. 😁👍

Another grand wee trip on your wee Monkey Bike. Your trip with Mikey to the Alps will be something I'll really look forward to. Your Borders countryside is almost as good as our Highland, almost. Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks Hugh! Aye, it's nice around the borders and East Lothian and we don't get as many camper vans!

Well I enjoyed the Wojtek story and bits to see. If your ever up Montrose way look for the statue of Bamse the dog. (Bamse seems to be Norwegian for bear)
