Scotland run

Ron1000 · 20-05-2021, 01:55 PM

Hi troops
Anybody in scotland fancy a run on Monday 24.05.21 bank holiday Monday (weather dependant).

Early start 7am! Campbell town and back, plan on going Callander road to wellie > oban > Lochgilphead > Campbelltown. Roughly 4hrs there.

Then Campbelltown > Lochgilphead > Inverary > RabT > Balloch > Stirling road home. Probably roughly 4hrs also.

Just shy of 400miles total.

Let me know and i can get the evo out. If solo i’ll take the triple and take it up to 2000miles ish for the season then tuck it away until i get it serviced.

Hi troops,
As it stands at the moment this run is cancelled. Weather is looking foul for Monday.

I’ll try again when the weather has settled down a bit.

Ron1000 · 21-06-2022, 09:13 PM

Official Run. All welcome.

Sunday 3rd July.

Suggest 9.30am start, meet at Dumbarton Esso.

Destination deets to follow.

Sunday 03 July good for me, also free on Sunday 10th as well.

Ron1000 · 22-06-2022, 10:44 AM

Route will be:

Meet at Esso Lomond Gate Dumbarton. For 9.30.

Esso>Callander (via Balloch road)>Killin>Aberfeldy>Creiff>Loch Earnhead.

Stop at Loch Earnhead and decide a route home for everyone and branch off in separate directions.

We will stop for food / tea / coffee etc along the way. I’ll research places to stop at.

Total time on goggle maps is 3hrs 15mins (allow for 5hrs by the time we stop and stuff). Mileage will be 120miles.

Sounds like a plan....very good cafe with outdoor tables etc in Killin ..next to the Co-op ! Petrol in Aberfeldy. Any North/Central guys could join the party at Callander.....weather is 99% guaranteed...��

Hopefully the weather holds out for us.

Hope you have a good run, I’ll be on Arran for a family function so wont be on two wheels.

alan s4 · 01-07-2022, 04:11 PM

I'm good to go for Sunday - looks like we have a weather window in the morning and afternoon.

crawsue · 01-07-2022, 04:29 PM

Don’t forget the photos guys,

Ron1000 · 01-07-2022, 08:41 PM

As circumstances try to conspire against me…rough Friday…fear not I’ll be there. Lomond gate Sunday 9.30.

crawsue · 02-07-2022, 11:52 AM

Glad I re-read the thread......please note for anyone joining us the meeting point is Esso Lomondgate ( nr Renton ) NOT Esso Dumbarton as originally discussed. Lomondgate is about 3 miles closer to Balloch but still on the A82.

Ron1000 · 03-07-2022, 09:31 AM

Four of us at lomond gate esso. We’ll aim to leave around 09.40 if anybody want to catch we’ll be on the balloch road to callander via the A81.

We will stop in the main car park in callander if anybody wants to meet there.
