Hey mini buddies, going to organise a loch ness run, im thinkin of meeting up somewhere near inverness then doing a tripp into inverness and then to circle the loch ness with a wee stop at Urquhart Castle (think thats how you spell it) i've been told it would be a great run, with some twisty roads, im going up to inverness to do some research on it. [s]i was proposing a date of September 19th. Bonnie Scotlands original date.[/s]

Lets get a good turn out for my first organised run people.

Whos all up for that?

Here's my proposed plan:
-all meet at Inverness Retail and Business Park (the place were the Warner Bro's Cinema is)
-head into and through the town (will give detailed route instructions)
-connect onto the A82
-stop at Urquhart Castle (get some ace pics of yer mini, never know Nessie might decide to pop up and say Hi!!)
-continue along the A82 to the bottom of Loch Ness into FORT AUGUSTUS
-cross bridges there and onto the "B-Roadies" - B862(YAY!)
-there supposedly a waterfall just at the begginning of the B862, maybe a good place to stop. Will confirm once i do the run myself
-about 1/3 back up the Loch connect on the B852, this takes right onto the Loch Coast basically! (We dont want no mini water adventures!)
-Head right in along the coast into Inverness then stop again at the Inverness Business and Retail Park. Depending on how long this run takes and starting times, maybe get a chance to go to the cinema.
