Alex, are we now leaving Stirling Services at 9.30am on Saturday morning? Will aim to get there in time for a bacon butty before we set off. Are you driving up from "Mackemland" on the Saturday morning? If it would help, you are more than welcome to stay with us in North Berwick on the Friday night? Let me know.
Yep, Stirling services at half 9. Thanks for the offer of the room but we got a bargain premier inn room booked on the doorstep of the services
Should be there in good time probably just after nine.
Just to add the last few times I’ve been through Crianlarich there has been a mobile speed trap but its been aimed at cars coming into the village from the FW direction but I guess they do it from both sides entering into the 30. They also favour sites at Rannoch Moor on the A82 on a long stretch and at Kingshouse Glencoe as well.
Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
Run notes. Well here's the thing. It's kind of a bit of a distance for me to recce and it sticks to roads we've used before mostly. I was going to do some for day 1 possibly as I did make notes but I hadn't got around to it typing them up. I was going to do some maps and bring them with my phone number and some emergency meeting points if needed.
Will see what I get done tonight.
Another option if you have a sat nav is to use TYRE and put the map from Google on.
Yes pal 9.30am from Stirling services. I will get some basic directions knocked up but most of day 1 should be in convoy. day 2 can be fast and furious so we could potentially get strung out a little but there is really only 1 road to take when you reach a certain point
Also Stewart has his own leisurely pace at the back to sweep up

We Do take a Coast Road before Malaig. Alex knows its ok if I'm the only one missing as I'll catch up
Dont know about the MINI but TomTom lets you uplaod a route made in a wee program called Tyre that you can do on the PC.I thought you could do a goggle route then send it to the car? Did Baz not say you could do that on the MINI connect thing?
Is there any stops before the usual Green welly like the car park at dalerb forrest park that we have used on MINi runs before???

Ali I’m coming from Glasgow and I’ll meet you no probs at Hamilton services on the Hamilton side if you want, just give us a time. I’m coming from the Airport early but I’ll be back at the House on the Southside first? Mr C is also from our neck of the woods.

There was a potential stop overlooking aberfeldy I was considering. Might make a good photo opp, green wellie a few miles on, fort William then straight onto mallaig. Potential sands of morar stop if we're doing ok on time
I will be travelling alone so run notes to a great help. Post code of the ferry is in my google App for a 'worst case scenario'.
Sure we will be fine.
Long way round for us to do Hamilton if that's ok. Stirling Services are a scoosh to find, very well signposted.
Still to book the ferry............. or maybe we'll do a Top Gear & have a land/sea race
Ok ok, I'm on the case
