    That's a good idea Jason, the Northwest Posse did this on the Feb invasion of wales - I'll PM you mine if you don't mind compiling a list, then pm everyone - I don't always have access to email or internet so I would be unsuitable to do this

    Regards

    We could arrange a meet at Erskine bridge mid / late morning on Friday that would get us in the Fort William area for lunch and probably in JOG area for say 7:00pm ish .

    Any takers ????

    I think I'm going to be taking this route on Friday...300 miles is plenty after 400 the day before and with 900 the day after!

    Great Maurice , If I get the 08:30 ferry I could meet you in Adrossan - alternatively if I get the 09:30 you could meet me in Largs ????

    Blue Skies is coming off the Irish boat at Troon at 09:00, we could all arrange a meet "somewhere" on the coast before heading for the Erskine Bridge for about 10:30. And see if anyone else is joining us there.??

    Re: The Long Way Up - Where Shall We meet?

    I shall be leaving High Peak 0500 Wednesday and riding up in one go. Route will be M60, M61, M6, A74, M74, M73, A80, M80, M9, A9 and A99. I have done the Ft William route many times but not the route via Blair Atholl (A9). I don't expect anyone will be traveling on Wednesday, but if you are, PM me before 2200 Tuesday. All, have a good journey up to JOG.
