Event : SUNDAY RUN IN THE SUN
Date : SUNDAY, 17TH AUGUST 2014
Start Time : 10.00 for 10.30
Start Venue : DUCK BAY MARINA, LOCH LOMOND, G83 8QZ (assemble in the roadway just beyond this hotel)
In the hope that the sunshine we have been enjoying these last few days continues into next month, here's a nice little 2-hour or so blast in the countryside finishing up with a spot of lunch in a pub overlooking Loch Long. From the roadway between the Duck Bay Marina and the Waters Edge (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/A...2b!2m2!1d-4.6134924!2d56.017103!1m0!3e0?hl=en - about the point on the map where it bizarrely shows 'Alexandria', ) we'll head up Loch Lomond, then over to Crianlarich to take the A82 to Tyndrum (stopping at the ubiquitous 'Green Welly' for a brief comfort break if required), then on to the A85 through Glen Lochy to Dalmally before cutting back through the hills to Inverary to pick up the A83 over the 'Rest and be Thankful' to the Village Inn at Arrochar for lunch.
Proposed route : https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/D...3eb25eb74!2m2!1d-4.751508!2d56.1931!3e0?hl=en
Please RSVP so that I can forewarn the lunch-stop of roughly how many bods will be descending upon them. These are some great driving roads (IMO) with a good few photo opportunities so the 2-hour drive will probably be nearer 3, . Also, I can't promise to have rid them of all the tourist coaches and touring caravans, but I'll do my best, .
