POTD Sat 120806 / Scottish Rolling Rally...

[guest18]

Well the pic is of Pats' end to end run, looking out over Douneray in the far North :-)

We wont be going *quite* that far North next year but we have dates (22-25 June) and  provisional route... and it's a belter!
For those who understand, it involves bits of the A84, the A82 through Glen Coe, Loch Ness, Spittal of Glenshee (a Pat favourite but this time from another direction ;-)) and with small numbers will start and finish within a stones throw of the Forth Bridges :-)
If we get large numbers shall have to move the start/finish, but regardless... it'll be good ;-)

"Expressions of interest are invited", as they say!
email me and I shall add you to the Yahoo group where the route etc will be listed.

Yep add me to the list and don't worry, I'll be slapping a motor into my spare solo XBR to provide me with a decent solo for runs like this. The outfit is great for luggage but hopeless on rideouts.

Sorry matey, but I'm a NO NO! Glastonbury is the same weekend, and if you think I'm leaving Mrs Squirrel to go on her own, you must be mad :-)

Feeling sad and bad as I had my hand in pushing this one along a bit and I really really want to get back to those highland roads, but my other option is going to be a one off too.

Have fun guys, and loads of piccies please :-)

[guest18]

So far, and in no particular order:

Me
Bill
Transalp John

Possible Steve H wingman
Martyn

Damo if his bike is fixed...

I'm aiming to do part of my recce this weekend so things are gathering pace (or carreering out of control down the hill... all depends on your point of view!!)
I do need to know if people are coming however as the current plan (to save you all cash!) is for the party to doss down at my house on the Friday! So far we can fit everyone in... (plenty floor space for sleeping bags ) and also we need to negotiate about the Saturday night campsite (Thanks to Bill for his efforts in finding one!)
So... "Just turning up" is I'm afraid NOT an option for this one!! (wags finger sternly)

More news shortly......

damo

[steveD]

OI, ME, ME, ME!
Don't forget me, I said that I would come and I was one of the first to say so, so there, how could you forget about ME!
I'm quite easy to spot and not tooo hard to forget surely. I'll even sleep in the bath or at the bottom of a hedge! (aand yes I have in the past!) It's in my diary anyhow so there!
