Welcome Pete and Mrs Pete, It will be nice to not be the only pensioner there! (I am of course only speaking of Pete)
Looking at the weather forecast again. It is looking like a wet ride up on friday, and a wet ride back on monday. Saturday is looking better to the east, and sunday to the west.
Is it my imagination, or is the forecast improving?
Oh well, whatever the weather we are going to have fun!!

How easy is it to find the Bunkhouse ??, I can't find it on google street-view. Is it sign posted ?? . .
Hopefully I can find it, its a long way from Bristol to end up sleeping on a bench park.
Do I win a prize for travelling the furthest (approx 505 mile) or can some one beat that ??
Cheers Daz

HawMaw contacted me today to say that most of the chaps coming through Glasgow on Friday have already been up by Loch Lomond last year and suggested this route (LINKY) instead. It takes you past Queens View, Aberfoyle, The Dukes Pass, Callander then on to join our original route to the Green Welly and onwards to Glencoe etc.
I agree with Hawmaw, it's a much nicer road and the Dukes Pass is a must.
All in favour say Aye.
