Well following on from mighty northy's lead of early planning. Last year was feb 17th.
Please use this thread to discuss dates, routes, meeting points etc. Once there is a few options i'll collate and create a poll or two to finalise details. Firstly where do we get icecream in Largs (the cafe on the waterfront??) At st Andrews we discussed adding a ferry ride to the largs run, do we want to do this, if so do we want it on the way to the ice cream or post ice cream??? I dont know the west particularly well, so step up folks. |

Well to get the ball rolling.
![]() Dates, Jan or Feb for me, March is pretty much out, April's practically summer ![]() Meet: Carbeth Inn, Blanefield ![]() Route: Balloch, Millitary Road, Rest n b thankful, Ardbeg (either loch Eck or coast road) Dunoon FERRY, Largs. About 100 miles give or take. ![]() After Ice cream pretty much everyone will be heading east (unless you stay on Arran, so Gerbrox or Stramasher's proposal of a pint could be incorporated back glasgow way before all heading home??? 100 miles so one tank, dont think there's fuel at Blanefield but plenty around bearsden / bishopbriggs. ![]() Like i said, this is not the meeting point or route just ideas......

Feb sounds good to me.
I have a mate who has a chalet in Garelochhead we might be able to blag tea and cake if he's not offshore at the time. |

Apart from the 1st, I'd say any Sunday in February.
The cafe near the ferry terminal sells Nardinis ice cream I think. Ferry is a great idea, before Largs though, don't want any land lubbers crying off after they've filled their boots! Beer is also a good idea, at any time or place. Routewise let me have a little furtle round a road atlas and get back to you... |

![]() Another possible meeting point is Hein Gericke/ Ducati Glasgow on Great Western Road. The short ferry crossing from Dunoon is a nice way to break up the run.

I think february makes sense... Last years was great, I really wanted a go on the ferry though! So this sounds good. Does the ferry have tiedowns etc? I've got my own (and not even the slightest clue how to use them) but I don't suppose everyone does.
Well, for me all the dates work, and I'll randomly turn up or not depending how cowardly I feel.
