Default Lochan Shira

Has anyone been up to Lochan Shira reservoir? I saw a picture of it at work yesterday and thought I've GOT to go there



Looks amazing, but I dunno if it will be a private/closed road or not. Does anyone know?

I don't know but the road looks mental small. I remember Lochan Shira being mentioned on the news for a possible wind farm development some time back

If you do go, swing by Fyne Ales brewery!

Looks like the only way in is from the A83 9 miles south. When are we going

Always been tempted to head up that road just to see what Rob Roys house is like... Might have to pop up it on a monthly run... Only adds 16 or so miles to the route... Hmm it gets me thinking for Aprils run

That does look nice!... I was nearish there yesterday and day before. Headed up to Inveraray to stay the night, the hotel we were in had Fyne Ales and I had a couple which were pretty nice but we didn't stop into the brewery on the way home...

The George Hotel? Cosy, friendly bar with good beer.

Was up at Inverary a few weeks back myself, very nice for a run and an overnighter

Loch Fyne hotel, got a groupon deal with evening meal, brekkie etc and as we have been before we knew the food is pretty awesome! I have been meaning to make it into the George bar though, maybe next time!...

The best thing is you have to go in by Inverary so I can stock up on the best tablet in the world!
Depends on the weather. I was thinking this weekend if it's nice. No point heading all that way for it to be cloudy or rainy

Route 2 of march madness would have been perfect! It would have gone right past the reservoir road then right through Inverary for some tablet
