have fun folks and stay safe

Well done Stuarty for doing the organisation this year and i hope it is as good this year as it has been in the past.

I won't be doing Friday stuff quiet evening at the campsite for me, there'll be no hangovers for Mr Chucca on Saturday.

We'll be arriving at the campsite about 9am on Saturday morning so no Friday night shenanigans for us.

.

So you are starting the loop from the bridgeservices, turning at Glencoe and then heading back to the bridge/services?

If this is correct are those not doing the loop allowed to head on to the Fort william regroup as opposed to waiting round a garage for about an hour??

[TamSV]

It's a picturesque garage though.

I know what you're saying Q but then they'd just have to wait at Fort William plus it would mean another leader and another TEC for that stretch.

If some of the quicker ones from the loop caught up with the other group it would lead to mucho confusion as the TEC finds him or herself being overtaken. Similar happened on Ed's rideout when the group split and some folk ended up getting a bit lost.

To my mind the route includes the loop but, because it is a loop, there's the option not to do it. So those who choose not to can wait (half an hour at most I'd have thought) and dip their tootsies in the loch/top up the tan (optimistic).

Just my 2p.

Surely most folk will do the loop after travelling a distance to get there?

Or can some of us (IE ME!) do 2 laps?

It would be rude not to.

Great, lets see if it is possible to do a full tank in 38 miles
