Thats rich coming from a former Tayside Traffic officer who, when standing on the Braemar/Ballater road didn't know which direction Ballater was in... :dabone (I'll never forget that moment...Pure Quality! :thumb )

Hi Andy,

How about the new petrol station just off the Broxburn roundabout? :thumb

Where in my post did I mention Perth? I offered to meet Stumpy at BroxBURN, seeing as how he's coming in from West Lothian and is a bit unsure of the roads. If, however, he wants to meet me in Perth, then BroxDEN roundabout is fine by me...


...bunch of Tossers :rolleyes:

Righteo...what's the line up for Sunday then?

1. Mrs and Mrs Ronno leaving the house at 10.00. Will be at Broxden about 10.30/10.40...
 
Meet You In Dunkeld?

I'll be in Dunkeld at 11:15, anybody fancy meeting there on the way up to Glenlyon? - then we can choose a suitable scenic route there?
I've also attached a link to map showing the location of Bridge of Balgie, where the Glenlyon Tearoom is - just in case any other GS'ers fancy meeting there, but aren't sure where it is!!

Link to map:- http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.s...rchp=newsearch.srf&dn=786&ax=257500&ay=746500

Anyway, if Dunkeld's ok, maybe meet some of you there? - otherwise, 12:30'ish at Bridge of Balgie.

Cheers.........................................Grizzly :beer: :beer:

Hopefully should be there at some point, although suffering from the flu at the moment, think it was the swan supper I had in Ainster the other day :eek :beer:

Have a grand day oot ;)

I don't know if I'll make it today. :( I've been up speaking into the big white telephone during the night and am feeling lousy. I'm going back to bed for an hour and will see how I feel when I get up.

No alcohol last night so I can't even blame that. Must have had a bit of Robbo's Swan Supper.

I'll put a post up as to yes or no about 09.00

Bast@rd! :( :( :(
 
No worries Ronno

I'll call in the fuel station on the way past to see if you made it

Grizz we'll see you at Dunkeld

Stumpy
 
I don't feel any better. Gonna give it a miss. Sorry guys.

Weather is ideal here too... :(
 
Sorry we didn't make it

We were late setting off cos the bike wouldnt start. Battery had gone flat over night. :(

By the time we set off it was snowing and when we reached Fort William, I couldn't see where I was going. :eek: That and the wife was already complainig about cold hands and feet. To be far, she does need some better gear, I just turned up the heated grips.:D

Decided to pop into G.C.'s and ended up staying for lunch :)
 
Well!! - Some of Us Made It!!!

Met up with Stumpy, Fiona and KC in Dunkeld, - Ronno, you wanna lay off the drink a bit - your gonna get us a bad name??.
Mart-p - Don't blame you for changing you mind, it's a long way in this sort of weather - see you both next time maybe??
Weather was nice all the way up - but a lot of snow on the high ground in Glenlyon. While we were havin our soup etc it started snowing :eek: - and just kept snowing :eek: . At this point the mad fifer arrived - no not you Ronno - the other one - Den!!
It was looking like a wet, cold run home when we left Glenlyon Tearoom but we were only about 2 miles down the road and all was dry :cool: - so had a good run back via Fearnan, Kenmore, Glen Quaich, Amulree and the Sma' Glen. Would like to have gone over Ben Lawers, but that looked VERY snowy -another day?
Never mind - soon be summer :cool:

Cheers..............................Grizzly :beer:

Grizzly,

Sounds like it was a wise move not to go any further as I would have been coming over Ben Lawers. Glad you all had a good and mostly dry day out. :)

Hopefully see you at G.C.'s on Bank Holiday Monday?

:beerjug:

What a nice day.
In a vain attempt to slow down and let everyone catch up, Grizzly George taped over one of the lenses on his spectacles. And he calles ME a mad Fifer. I think Ill name him 'the mental Monikian'. Is that wot folk from Monikie are called?
Anyway, the patch did work a wee bit. I just managed to keep up with him.
Glen Quaich was wonderful. In fact, all the roads were good today. A wee bit gravel to keep it exciting, but dry and empty.
Stumpy. You turned off a tad early. The way I was going bypassed Dunfermline and would have got you right onto the M90.
I will really have to get myself a house in Scotland ....................... wait a minute .... I already have !. Wot a lucky boy am I.

Sounds like you had a good run. Sorry that I missed it.

Den, I heard that Grizzly was The Last Of the Monikans :nenau
 
Looks like you guys had a good outing. My folks are over in Tyndrum and Glencoe for a few days and they said there had been quite a bit of snow.

Mountains look great, you lucky beggars :beerjug:
