Monthly Run - Trip To Kinlochleven - SV650.org

carelesschucca · 02-04-14, 08:46 AM

Ok guys I'm a little busy with other things at the moment but I'm thinking about heading up to see Helen and Mark at the MacDonald Hotel at some point in early May so thought I could make it an Org run.

The options for days for me are the 11th or 18th of May.

I was thinking about going up using this Route stopping at the usual Green Welly on the way up.

Coming home I was going to use this Route once again stopping at the Green Welly and Probably in Crieff (to say good bye to Lance haha)

Good route.

Any of those dates for me.

02-04-14, 12:57 PM

Yeah I can do both dates, would be up for a run out!...

Bibio · 02-04-14, 01:14 PM

should be up for this. either date suits me.

02-04-14, 01:53 PM

With as much fun as I had this weekend, I wouldn't miss this for the world. Wheeee!!

Route up. A question, can you ride up the road on the northern edge of Loch Katrine. Just wondered as the better half and I are going up at Easter for the weekend

I don't think there is a road on the north side of Loch Katrine. The road on the south side is a dead end and as rough as you want it. There are nice views at Stronachlachar and Inversnaid Hotel but not much else out there. Its been over a year since I've been along the B829.

When I booked in to the bunghouses for the GM I also booked in for Easter weekend. So will take the better half on the Loch Katrine boat if we have the time on the way up. I'll have an explore at the same time.
Nice routes as always.

The maid of the loch is a lovely looking boat and its at the end of the dukes pass. Double win!

There's also Rob Roy McGregors grave about 8 miles up the road near Balquhidder it's nothing special but a nice bit of Scottish history and going to the end of that road gives some no bad views.

there is a service road but it's not open to the public coz the locals are Teuchter sheep shaggin inbreeds that think everything belongs to them.
