cool. Very similiar to my idea:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&sourc ... 911377&z=9


basically the same as yours, but adds a wee run from aberfoyle out towards loch lomond, and then adds a wee B road diversion from crieff.


Right, I plan to leave Stirling services at 4PM. 2 hours worth of driving to get to loch lomond, then back to aberfoyle, loop up over dukes pass to lochearnhead. Meet you at 6PM, then do the rest of that route, finishing at Doune. Maybe grab some chips in doune and then leave you in peace to walk the course before it gets dark.


anybody else want to join in, feel free, my mobile number is 07738 285 249, gimme a text and let me know if your coming, as i'll be leaving the services at 4pm sharp. Also, if you want to meet up at lochearnhead at 6pm, feel free.

The services carpark by the hotel is it?

Probably will not do the full loop but will try and be up there for 4 (in the yellow vx), If I am not there for 4 just go.

Welcome to come and have a coffee when you go through Crieff, you pass within a few yards of the house! Neil/FD I think one of you at least will have my mobile? Give me a call first.

yes, main carpark next to hotel and services, not the fuel bit.

Paul, will speak to FD and see how time is. I'm sure he will want to walk the course in daylight. Thanks for the offer, hopefully see you.

Read this thread at 6pm.
Headed straight to Dukes pass from Glasgow in an attempt to finally meet some fellow Lotus owners since moving back up north!
Closest I got was a wave from a Yellow VX220- was that you cstrachan??
Great night for a drive though Glasgow-Aberfoyle-Dukes Pass-Doune-Glasgow.
