But I digress. I'm afraid I'd be a bit rubbish at organising an AR, certainly the route. But in my limited experience, it does require someone to take charge and organise the thing, wherever it is. I'd say that was far more important than location, and the basic requirements of pub, food (esp breakfast) and good showers etc are clear. Needs someone who can be decisive, even handed and put a lid on any disagreements that blow up. Remeber, a good potential venue was once lost through bickerage. |

Also, why don't all the people who fancy a Scottish AR, do the GM? It's well organised, has breath-taking scenery and is very friendly. |

Re: Your thoughts for AR11
That's sounds like a very sensible idea.

Peronsally I'm not so sure going to tourist traps, heavily populated areas with a group the size we were this year is going to work well. Like I said, I'm not fussed where, I am not fussed when. I'm just happy to go where somebody is wiling to organise the weekend. I do have concerns over the sheer size of the group we are on the road now. But thats a subject for another thread.

Re: Your thoughts for AR11
No point even discussing group sizes as there's no fix for it except splitting it up which is not going to work. Even if that does result in a bit of a procession.
