The problem with the Bridge of Brown Cafe is Stopping ,I love the road down into it and especially the wee corners coming out .I find the wee tea room at Corgaff a handy wee place to stop.
On the understanding Scotland hasn't closed due to lack of fuel.... no need to panic buy, but you should have seen Tesco yesterday!
How's about meeting at Perth? I think some others might do the same, as I was planning the doon then up route and I don't have a fecking clue where we're going in Newtonmore.
There's a Tesco on the west side which is an option
Didn't get the bearings changed but old ones felt ok when I took the wheel out, so I'll be coming out to play Ronno, what time do you want to met up & where?
Hi Phil, fuel crisis permitting, a Perth meet would be fine. Broxden Services is the normal meeting place. Tesco might be confusing as there are 2 (or maybe even 3) in Perth. Broxden is the one on the Perth side of the "Glasgow roundabout" at the A9/M90 interchange.
Newtonmore meet is HERE
Jeff, How about meeting at Broxden Services at Perth? See my post directly above in reply to PhilM. I'll work out times later...
I remember dropping into a cafe that matches this description about 10 years ago, they had a "Bikers Welcome" sign and a real bike on display somehwere inside the premises. This was just NW of Tomintoul so I imagiane it's the same place.
Think I'll phone them and we can maybe have lunch here...
Hi Ronno,
It's the "Brig o' Broon cafe or the Old Fire Station Cafe in Tomintoul in the main street. The Brig used to be owned by Graham & Suzie Larrington, mates of mine but under new and not better ownership now. Name the venue and approx time and I will meet you there. I can PM you the mobile number to contact me on. Have you been out over the Dava and Dulcie Bridge way??
Is the Brig no good for lunches now then,
Last time I called in there it was "Absolutely Average" Ronnie....
I'd try somewhere else to be honest..
The old firestation it is then, give me an idea of time and I will meet you all in the square at Tomintoul, I will go and get out the war paint and feathers to act as lead scout out over the Dava to Dulcie and the wee back roads just meant for a GS
I should be able to meet up @ Tomintoul if I survive a little run in with a contingent of Norn Iron riders on Saturday round the west / north coast.
I'll be easy to spot - I wont be on a german bike .
Hope to see you on Sunday
