Yes Friday is the getting there day, I'll hopefully be early so I can play on the Loop for a wee while. It'll also be the meet up for refreshments in The Bothy Bar Day (I'd recommend the Trade Winds myself)

Saturday will be the main run it'll be just over the 200 mile mark (split into two loops so people can bail out, and play on the Loop)
Then there will no doubt be more refreshments in The Bothy Bar.

Sunday is a free day so people can do as they want... There is talk of people going up to Applecross on the Sunday but that is still to be confirmed (Combatfred will probably take charge of that

)

As for getting there the A82 isn't the most interesting road but it does improve once you get past Tarbet. I much prefer the A84 & A85. But there are so many options it just depends on how far you want to ride.

The Scottish adventure may start with the GM or end with it! So i'll either start from the East and work my round up to the North, then back down the West or vice-a-versa.
