I've lived here 35 years and never heard it called the 'washboard'. Can't see the similarity between a flat board for washing and a road I'm afraid.
It's always been affectionately known as the 'Arrochar Bumps' around here.

A washboard isn't flat, it's wavy... Like corrugated iron.

Now THAT is a fun road . 8)
Never heard of it being referred to in those terms either............. usually its just the "Arrochar road", followed by lots of schoolboy giggling.
North to south, then over "the rollercoaster/military/glen fruin road" to the lochside. Adrenalin O.D.
What else does the article say? Got to be a top mark? :lol: :wink:

Here's my suggestion:-http://upload3.postimage.org/128379/Untitled2.jpg (http://upload3.postimage.org/128379/photo_hosting.html)
Start at Balloch
Fuel stop/tea stop at Arrochar (after the wibbly wobbly)
Onto Tyndrum via Inveraray
Fuel stop/tea stop at Tyndrum
Onto Callander via Lochearnhead
Fuel stop/tea stop at Callander (before tackling the dukes)
End at Drymen. Everyone heads home from here.

Good choice of roads :!: Name the date I'll be there.
The starting point suits the westies more than the east coasters though.
Count me in. Who else??

If there is enough interest from the easties we can adjust the start and end points

whats with all these other roads on the route??? can't we just go up and down the dukes pass then along to the wibbly wobbly??? via Gartocharn??? :lol:
Count me in, having said that the dukes pass is an early morning or late evening road, less busses!!!
