That's us no long in after a nice wee day oot to the Welly.

The run up through Glen Orchy was nice and on the way through the glen we passed a bunch of blokes on bikes who were camping beside the river:eek:

Fruitcake and me decided to take a run through Inverary on the way home and bumped into Packer & Mrs Packer - who were in the car.


Nice to meet youse all.:beerjug: Looking forward to the next run:thumb2

Nice to meet youse all.:beerjug:
Same from me, but too many new faces for me to take in at one go...

...but I do know I spoke to Fruitcake about F650/800GS screens, and had one of her rock buns :thumb.

If you ever need a rock bun quality control inspector just let me know.:augie
 
A guid turn oot and a really guid day for a run. I'm a wee bit fed up o' the Crieff to Crianlarich road so I decided to head up through Milnathort/Bridge of Allan and Callander to get to Lochernahead.

On the way north I stopped off at the monument to Sir David Stirling, the founder of the Special Air Service. It was kind of SS meets SAS. Funnily enough, Sir David was lookin' doon on my bike and probably thinkin: "Behind enemy lines is aboot the only place that bike hasnae been dropped..."

Trundlin' back hame through the Trossachs, I passed Rob Roy's birthplace and then I stopped to pay homage at Robmack's birthplace
