I've lived here 35 years and never heard it called the 'washboard'. Can't see the similarity between a flat board for washing and a road I'm afraid.
It's always been affectionately known as the 'Arrochar Bumps' around here. |

A washboard isn't flat, it's wavy... Like corrugated iron.

Now THAT is a fun road .
 Never heard of it being referred to in those terms either............. usually its just the "Arrochar road", followed by lots of schoolboy giggling. North to south, then over "the rollercoaster/military/glen fruin road" to the lochside. Adrenalin O.D. What else does the article say? Got to be a top mark?

Sorry to interupt the mother to son lecture.....
Why dont we organise a rideout which takes in both the Wibbly Wobbly and the Dukes Pass and afterwards we can put it to the vote.....only those in attendance can vote |
