Are you guys on about Loch Rannoch? That's one of my favourite roads!

Looks fab. And you'll be used to covering the distance after the first couple of days, the aches will reduce considerably.

Re: Please comment on my route
 Ach, I'll be fine Missy. Not planned mega miles per day so we can appreciate the beauty of Scotland. three of the lads are comin up from Northampton and will be their first time riding in our beautiful country, plenty of stops to take photo's and stuff. Gonna be my first 'proper' tour on the bike, like a kid before Xmas today !!! Loch Rannoch is good for views and will always remember the first time over, looking in the rear view mirror and seeing a line of SV's, on the wrong side of the road, stretching back 1/2 a mile. But just fed up riding it this year, not a very involving stretch of road.

If you're taking the A816 between Lochgilphead and Oban, just be careful of the tricky left hander near Barrananoil. Easy to take it too fast and end up on the wrong side of the road...

Ya cheeky Bugger  Aye it was us, your pal remembered my name then! Just to let you all in, 2 of our party of 5 came off the road 20 miles south of Oban. Two seperate incidents, 1st yin youthful exhuberence and the 2nd my pal just bloody unlucky. Tigers pilot pal (should have been your shift?) flew my mate to RAH with a broken tib / fib and concussion after he bounced off the front of a BMW and the other boy ran straight on and cartwheeled bike and broke ankle. Both OK but bikes are fecked. Am fed up with people fallen off their bikes in front of me !!! Am only gonna ride on my own from now on!

Re: Please comment on my route
least you never rode threw body parts. RTA near Applecross as i passed and there were bike, campervan and what looked like people bits all over the place. i was to scared to look at what happened but i sorta saw the bike and it was complete toast. if the rider is still alive they are very very lucky.

Re: Please comment on my route
First of all I apologise unreservedly for suggesting anyone was going too fast! My mate said your mate probably was, but then again he rides a Harley so too fast = actually moving.
Should have been my shift right enough, which would have been one for the photo album. Bound to meet an Orger in the line of duty sooner or later. Let's hope it's for a blether and not a wee ride to the RAH. Bet the beer tastes good tonight though. Early start tomorrow? |

Re: Please comment on my route
My pal that went in copter was behind me and I went round ok. Think he got spooked by cars stopping to sort first boy out and locked the front.
Settting off in the morning. 3rd time lucky. (Got snowed back last easter)
