Depending on how many would like to go, and for how long the options would be Thursday 6th to 10th at Inverardran House where we stayed last year.
For that weekend plenty of space, the following is a bit limited., but the cottage if free both weekends. Could do Friday to Monday i.e. travel up Friday, back Monday if preferred.(It is 500 miles each way but very doable!

There is a good pub just across the road, or evening meal can now be had at B&B., but no beer!

Whenever I could I would head up ths way in the car with my dad listening to REM and Deacon Blue.
This is a beautiful part of the world with some fantastically demanding stretches of road especially if you want to carry on for another 40 miles and head up to Oban.
Are we talking about 6th to 10th of June here Grandma.
Whatever the date, (depending on the outcome from my bike repairs) I would be interested in this trip it would give me a chance to se my parents.

September
Had Deacon Blue and REM on yesterday

Did the Oban bit when I did the Scottish National Rally at 6am., absolutely magic, hoping to do it again this year (a bit later in the day) as we didn't have time last year, but did go to Inverness from Fort William, still grinning

Are we going to pop in on Janet & John for a cuppa. Nothing stronger else the trip might end there.

If I have no band commitments on that weekend I may go up to visit my folks and do a couple of the runs with you guys. Will have to wait and see.

September is a bit unpredictable for the weather up there but if it's nice I can't urge you enough to have a run over the A85 to Kilmahog and then take a right onto the A821 (Trossachs road). Get to Aberfoyle and loop it back to Callander then head for Killin on the A827 and beyond.

And if you're going as far up as Fort William and the Great Glen road to Loch Ness then try a run up to Eilean Donnan Castle. Nice roads and scenery.

Depending on when in September I'd love to do this.

TallGuy · « **Reply #11 on:** 17, May, 2007, 07:41:29 PM »

I'm all for going up Thursday 6th and coming Home on Monday 10th. 3 days up there to explore makes the long trip up and down more worthwhile. Had great fun last year despite being ill and I promise to keep up this year. The Iboprofen and RedBull incident which caused me to fly past Burger was a one-off ':blush'

Ill have another marsheen sorted by then if I havent dropped another lump in the Suzi. ':p'

Evels route is a cracker the trossachs road takes in some of the best scenery you will ever lay eyes on.
Stopping off at Loch Katrine and looping back to Callander is Beautiful.
Mind you the rest and be thankful to oban and back across to stirling is another one.
Theres so much choice once you get out of the cities just the weather can make it a wee bit hairy. ':rock:'
