Scottish Meet/Drive

[chippiepilot]

Hi All

Thinking about sunny spring sunshine already and was wondering if anyone fancied meeting up and going for a spin somewhere and stopping off somewhere nice for lunch in about April time?
Would people like to do that and/or Go to MP supercars (if they are amenable) for morning coffee and chat/meet?

Ideas of Routes/suggestions most welcome, would like to try and find an option which could work for all/most in Scotland

cheers

one suggested route

Aberfoyle - Kilmahog (over Dukes pass) - Killin - Pitlochry - Blairgowrie - Dunkeld - Callander - Aberfoyle

 

[DaveT]

That sounds like a great route!

Sadly as an exile down south I won't be there but good luck with getting a group together up there.

Cheers

Dave

A date of May 9th has been suggested, how does that sit with anyone who is interested?

 

[nfm]

Andrew, can't make the 9th but OK other than that in May.

 

[chippiepilot]

Im erring Towards 29/30th Does anyone have a preference for a Saturday / Sunday?

 

[nfm]

Andrew

Preference for a Saturday but not of fixed mind.

Cheers

 

[chippiepilot]

Saturday 29th it is, I will confirm route once I have given the road a once over for surface condition.
If you could let me know by PM/on this thread if you are coming.
cheers

checked out most of the route on Monday (to Killin) and road seems ok, a few eateries in Killin for lunch, went to the Smiddy for tea & cake seemed like a good place free parking at a couple of parts of the village.

Looks like there could be 5 of us at the moment going along, any other takers?

Hi All,

We can go with the original plan or slightly modded plans as below - the idea behind it is we could stop at Gleneagles for a coffee and those needing to head eastwards can split from there and nfm it would be a pretty straight and quick route for you to reach Ayrshire if you prefered.
Thought of meeting up in Aberfoyle at 11:30 (in the Rob Roy car park) if suits - takes approx 1 hour to get to Killin.

CU at 11:30 then - we can discuss the route before we set off from Rob Roy?



Cheers

Thanks Loz, looks like the weather could be a mixed bag with a bit of wind thrown in
