What's happening on the Sunday night & Monday? Is anybody else on holiday on the Monday? If so - cud do a bit of exploring and stay in another hostel on the Sunday night.

Is this Scotland Meet V.2? I thought everyone had gone and returned?

I've been talking with Nanook over the last couple of weeks - it's not so much that nobody is bothering their arse to sort out an itinary, more that there are 3 routes on the cards depending upon the weather forecast. I'll load the routes here shortly.

I'd like to meet up for the run up but I am going to be at a gas course on the Friday so I will have to leave straight after the course. I was going to go straight up the M80 M9. but apparently there are some major road works so I think i'll have to go another route

Cool, I don't know exactly what time I'll be able to get away from this gas course yet. I will need to speak to the instructors on Monday, worst case it will be 17.00.

No problem Tam, I'm doing agency work and wont know what I'll be doing until next week but I'll be finished by 5 as well. The roadworks on the M80 are only for a couple of miles and we should be able to filter through.

Route 3 goes through Alford, theres a transport museum there which has a very good collection of old and some not so old bikes if anyone is interested, well worth an hour IMHO.

Linking 1 & 2 would be a good idea Minty...................how about along the lines of:
By the time we get rolling (wicky has a final dump and look fer his keys)
Several fag stops for the addicted (ever thought of mounting a hookah to your bike amarko
)
Leisurely lunch
Stop at a distillary
Visit the Alford Motor Museum
Back in time to prise Emmett's wallet open in the bar
............about 220 miles
Aviemore - Pitlochry - Alford - Aviemore
PS...if you click on the wee doofer with 4 arrows and a pic in the middle the map becomes much clearer..if that makes sense
