Meanwhile in Inverness

[Fluffmeister]

Rode up on the GS for work in Inverness this week, and last night got out of work early enough for a bimble round the Loch Ness / Dores area, only dropped it once as well

Looking forward to knocking off tomorrow and picking a scenic route back down to Cheshire, maybe over the Cairngorms through Braemar as I'm not in a hurry.

Better night out than going down the pub Thanks Scotland when it's not lashing down your one of the greatest places around to ride.

I could suggest a more interesting route from Perth to the Forth Road Bridge, that doesn't deviate too far off your current route, if you like......

Also take the A7 from Edinburgh to Hawick, way better than the camera infested A68.

I see Sir is now familiar with "The CorkScrew"!

Can I guess at the lower section being the area where the bike had a rest?

Nice photoies - thatnks for sharing.

However, before that....

A9 > Broxden Roundabout > A93 (Glasgow Road) > B9112 > B934 > A823 > A977 > A823 > (takes you past Knockill Race Circuit) > B914 > M90 > Forth Road Bridge.

how did you guess Cracking little bit of road though, just a small lowside, and got away with a scratch to the pannier and one of the head covers.

Cheers Schtum, I will check it out, I travel up here once or twice a month but normally have to bring a load of equipment that won't fit on the bike so end up in the car.

I will start dumping some waypoints in the garmin

FWIW, I regularly use both of those routes when I'm in the car as well as when I'm on the bike. However, I would only use to route from Edinburgh to Langholm if you're comfortable making progress on single track roads with passing places and with blind bends, gravel, pot holes and sheep. I love it, though.....
