![]() Further north would be excellent but at the end of the day the organisers need to be sure the ride is do-able on all levels so we won't complain either way ... but north is very good ![]() |

runs are fine planing in advance, but when the day to go on them comes the weather in scotland can change that quick you can be caught in some of the foulest weather you will ever encounter.
doing large runs with a large group of people is difficult to organise, there are fuel stops grub stops and piddle/rest stops to contend. the worst is fuel, 50+ bikes all trying to get fuel at the same time is just stupid. one thing i noticed when out on one of my sundy runs was how other groups coped, one of these was to split the group into smaller groups each at a given time apart with a 'leader' in each group. when it came to fuel stops the leader of each group would stop at an appropriate place while the front group fuelled up. dont know if that would work for us though as we tend to split into smaller fragmented groups anyway. fast paced, medium paced and the slow coaches. |

There will be loads of room, they have an overspill field in addition to the main camping area, but it's a sloping field down to a river can get a bit boggy and plagued with midges, so stay near the top.
