Weather forecast looks okay. I've had a change of plan and will be staying in Lossiemouth and do not know if I can join you on the Saturday. If I do not see you, hope you all have a safe and enjoyable run.

Hugh, be a shame if you cant make it :-(
with an 08:30 start it will allow time for plenty photo's and regroups if required.
I'd rather start early and take our time than push it all the way round.
Average speed for the first half will drop to 40mph or less.
You can have a long lie on Sunday - 10am start :-)
Start for both runs will be the car-park outside Fairways Golf Club (next door to the premierInn).
I will be in the bar at Fairways from about 7pm to catch-up with anyone that is there, do I need to wear a red carnation and carry an Evening Standard to be recognised ? ;-)
There may be time for an extra excursion on Sunday, would you fancy seeing Clava Cairns?
This is a neolithic burial site, right beside Culloden battlefield but much less visited...
Those setting off tomorrow or Friday - Safe journey and see you soon :-)
Adrian

It is with GREAT regret to say that I won't be able to attend now. Work commitments (they pay the bills  ) means I can't get the time to come up. I have only just got in from an 18 hour stint!! Sorry guys. Hope the weather holds and you all have a safe one! |

Hi Tig,
Sorry you won't make it.
Might be a very select few this weekend :-( However I'm sure we will have a blast :-)
Weather is looking good.
Might even clean the Divvy tomorrow !

Early reports are that today everyone had a great run  . Though one member has inadvertently arrived with rather less than the desired amount of rubber for the weekend's fun, having depleted his stocks during his circuitous route up there! |

I didn't know it was going to be that sort of weekend!
Perhaps a local pharmacy could help?

I had a great weekend,
Saturday run was a long one, but all the slow roads were right at the start, the pace was a pretty fast one though,
Sunday was more of a bimble, with plenty of coffee stops and a whiskey tour at the end.
It was a great weekend.
Commiserations to Adam for the speeding ticket on the A9, on the way home.

Fantastic weekend, great company has always and a BIG thank you to Adrian for taking us on some amazing roads.
Unfortuntly i could not mange to go on the Sunday run becuse of serous lack of rubber, new tyre replaced on Monday at inverness at a cost of £140.
During my 10 day trip to Scotland i clocked up a staggering 2117 miles in total, and only saw 1 afternoon of rain which is very unuassal for Scotland.

What a great run up on Friday with Fearn, Bob and Chris. Loch Long,Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Loch Leven and we parted at Balachulish Bridge. No pics, these 3 were in go for it mode and this led to some pretty enthusiastic riding. I had a ball. Granddaughter support duties meant the whole weekend was a run too far for me. Daughter has an 18 month old and a one month old, so other grandparents will know the score. My run home was via Connel Bridge, Loch Awe, Inveraray and Loch Long again. The sun hasn't stopped shining here since we came back from Aviemore 11 days ago. It was 10 degC up there, yesterday 26 in Helensburgh. So, JR17? Where's it at?  |

Fern and myself got back yesterday 1480 miles covered. Well done Adrian, excellent roads, weather and photo opportunities. Thanks to Chris and Gordy for their run leader duties on the trip up and Chris on the way back.
