Most of it! I was worried about petrol (stupid 12L dorso) and I was running out of time so didn't explore around the north of Loch Katrine as much as I wanted to. There is a small road that runs around the north of the loch and nearly goes back to Trossachs Pier. I think it would be really nice around there but I don't know if it is open to vehicles

Loch Voil is beautiful and deffo worth a visit. Glen Finglas Reservoir is really nice. Just remember not to read any of the signs on the way in
I got pretty far along it before a farmer told me there were no vehicles allowed. He was very nice about it though.

Trossachs Pier is a tourist trap and not worth visiting unless you are going on the boat trip because the road is blocked off right at the start of the loch.

Loch Arklet is beautiful too. There is a little tea room at Stronachlachar with great views

I was expecting good views at Inversnaid and they would have been, but when I got there the sun was getting low and facing right at me so I couldn't see the mountains very well

I'd really like a weekend to give me enough time to see all of the area. And a canoe! It was so calm and quiet a canoe would be ideal

I may have petrol problems too as I'll be using a Van Van. I'm planning on a week or so after the Knockhill BSB weekend. Not motorbike touring, more sightseeing on a motorbike.

Don't go on Sunday then. There's a petrol station in Aberfoyle that is closed on Sundays. The next closest one I could find on google was Callander
