*GS Event* New Year at Strontian 2025 - 2026 Anyone?

[Arsey]

Lol says the man who spends at least half the flight time in the cockpit, running through checklists with two of his mates, before you've even turned a turbine,

Flight time is the time spent in flight .
Probably not in flight if you haven’t turned a turbine .
And it may come as a shock to you, but taking 250 tons of metal with over 200 livestock and pointing east or west 7000 miles is just a tad more complicated than jumping on a bike and heading a few hundred miles north.

When does this epic adventure kick off ? Will Netflix be involved ?

Risk is relative, as well you know
I'm glad I don't have your cavalier approach to a road trip

See you in Strontian xx

Well I'm here.
Where is everyone else

@Santa-2512 The Ferry's running fine, but the roads are a bit sh1t what with salt and potholes. The green welly was packed solid.

 

[Northern jock]

On the ferry, cracking day

[Santa-2512]

Cold but dry run up,

one accident on the M6, (not me) and lots of congestion at various times

Digs for the night

Might have a later start tomorrow

That’s a decent day’s ride.

That’s a decent day’s ride.

Indeed, quite busy at times, and very cold, mainly windy chill I needed to add a layer to up the warmth on the top half, and then realized the heated gear controller had gone to sleep, once turned on again it was bliss, almost too hot

Deffo need heated socks though

 

[Micky]

Came down from Inverness today, I'm here at Strontian, few beers in the 'pub' with Northern Jock, Mike Spenze and AndyB

Beer and a wee dram waiting for you Santa .... see you in Alastairs Camper

 

[Northern jock]

A hard frost this morning, very calm and still
