As I said , check a map as the roads I have mentioned are on Rhu's doorstep.

just been to the garage to hand over the bucks for the Mini, get it lunch time friday.... can't wait, got our first trip on saturday from Edinburgh to Helensburgh, me and Sharon have agreed to split the driving fairly so she gets the first half then i get the second half when we hit the twisty bits over the hill's
What road do you take from Balloch over to Helensburgh ?
If it's the one at the roundabout just up from Duck Bay Marina (turn left) , can I suggest a few other roads just further up the Loch.
Check out the Glen Fruin , Glen Douglas & the new MOD road over the hills (check a map). All roads are superb , empty and full of twisties (especially both Glen roads) & I,m often up there of a weekend for a blast in ma MINI :approve:
i took the a811, would ahve been a blast appart from the tractors, caravans and bank holiday traffic...:mad:
Ah the Stirling Straights Road (A811) would not be fun in bank holiday traffic. You would then have probably taken the A82 to Arden then cut across to Helensburgh using the B831 & B832. The roads I refer to above are further up the Loch from Arden.quote:Originally posted by s12cot
