Hope to negotiate a pass soon as the better half's in a good mood.

from Carter Bar if you don't do it in 4.5hrs then give up biking as you are a pusssssssy.

i'll let you off with 6hrs if it's not your first time in Scotland as you will be sight seeing.

i'd be heading up that from the Glasgow direction. I wouldn't be aiming for more than 6 hours (depending on stops).
London to Glasgow is done in 4 hours fairly easy

Glasgow to Kinlocleven is a litle bit different.

40mph A road

DJ123 · 17-10-13, 09:13 PM

All the way from Glasgow?

andrewsmith · 17-10-13, 09:13 PM

Nigh on

DJ123 · 17-10-13, 09:15 PM

I don't like to judge a road before I see it, but that sounds a bit over kill

andrewsmith · 17-10-13, 09:20 PM

A82 is crap.
Best going across to Callendar and up

hey daddy if you are going gives a shout and i'll do a route for you.

if you go up the M74/M8 then onto the Erskine bridge its only about 6 miles of 40 then once past Balloch you just keep a good eye out for the plod. once your past Tarbet your home and dry but still keep an eye out for the plod. once you get near and on the Glen Coe road keep a vigulent eye out for the plod.

most of the time the plod like to make themselves been seen so if you don't spot them your not paying attention. also look out for folks flashing headlights (plod warning).

The loose plan is to tie the GM in with a Scottish trip. Still 10 months to go yet so no firm decisions yet!
