Marcus GTE Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) It does go up past Loch Lomond yeah. Have you seen this event posted about in the past? Here is the route from the first years thread. I don't think there are too many changes to the direct route to Applecross shown in it. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Xscape+Braehead,+Renfrew,+Renfrewshire+PA4+8XQ/Dumbarton,+West+Dunbartonshire,+UK/Fort+William,+Highland,+UK/Dornie,+Highland,+UK/Applecross,+Highland,+UK/@56.3175413,-5.0907137,8z/data=!4m17!4m16!1m2!1m1!1s0x48884f406bcbd799:0x6ceb2339991f5888!1m2!1m1!1s0x48884d562a7d8439:0x7f1b30b2e566de62!1m2!1m1!1s0x48893323371c031b:0xcda03ee308544821!1m2!1m1!1s0x488e9104cb15c853:0x2ac7726f0b88f476!1m2!1m1!1s0x488e810ba82c3f4d:0x9e1276b3016162ed!3e0 Our rendevouz point after leaving Glasgow is the green welly in tyndrum, not to far from the drovers inn where you are staying. I'd suggest meeting us there in the morning about 10am "][/url] Edited November 11, 2015 by Marcus GTE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy.r Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Looking forward to it. Any chance the route takes us up the Loch Lomond road as we may stay Thursday night at the drovers inn I can highly recommend The Drovers (we've even done a Supra run there in the past for lunch), its a cracking old pub and has great features, entertainment and food.... and rumour has it the building is haunted too!

CraigMoSupraRSP Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi Craig, great to have you with us! Where abouts are you in the highlands? I'm from the Isle of Lewis, living in Stornoway, was gutted I missed last year, and will have my car full BPU by August! Can't wait [emoji106] really looking forward to it. Is it a guy only thing or anyone taking partners/ girlfriends/ wife's etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great Craig, glad you're making it next time I've never been to Lewis or Harris but they are meant to be stunning. You'll know these roads well then no doubt There are now 3 couples signed up for the trip not including yourself so yeah the wife's are welcome. From what I hear, last years couples "keys in a bowl event" went well. Whatever that means! My wife is coming, loves it and does a stint.

You'll know these roads well then no doubt Yes, some cracking roads throughout the Western Isles, a great route would be getting the ferry in Oban to South Uist then driving all the way up to the Port of Ness, right at the top of Lewis, no speed cameras up our way....not that I drive above the national speed limit at anytime though [emoji12][emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing isn't it, it's pretty exposed, but on a good day these places must seem tropical. So is everyone's last name Macleod up your way?
