Hi folks,
Its been ages since i've had a proper fun road run, so i think today's the day. I'm either going to go for a blast over the dukes pass, and out towards loch lomond this afternoon, or could be persuaded to go this evening if people fancied a BBQ and a blether.
Anybody up for either??
I'm assured by the BBC weather, that things are looking nicer towards the west, and its going to be gloriously sunny this afternoon.
Cheers
Neil

Depends entirely on me being able to get into the car in the first instance as the lock is jammed so I wouldn't arrange anything to suit me just yet.
Hopefully would be able to head up the DP around 6.30ish.

I have some knee physio at 1600 but could be at lochearnhead by, hmmm, 1800 ish - the junction between the loch earn, crieff road and the lix toll road to be precise . . . if I was to take the Elise with me to the quack . . . for me earlier is better as I might take a run back via Doune and have a quiet walk up the hill before the weekend . . . but flexible . . .
I was thinking killin, aberfeldy, crieff and wherever after that, if you were feeling adventurous and got an early start you could take the north loop up to kinloch rannoch too, but it's better in the daylight . . .
