The Long Way Up - Where Shall We meet?

[Robster]

OK, thought I'd start a convoy/where shall we meet thread, as I know there are several possés that'll be on the move at different times.

Here's mine anyway;

I'll be flying solo for most of the ride up there, as I'm leaving on Wednesday 18th (or potentially Tuesday 17th after work) to ride up to Edinburgh and pop in to see my folks before the off.

It'd be great to hook up with the rest of the gang as you pass by after your Bunkhouse night. I'm assuming you guys will be heading North up through Jedburgh and Galashiels or up the A1, both of which will see you on the Edinburgh City bypass heading for the Forth Road Bridge and passing 1/4 mile from my folks place.

If someone can call me (gotta love on-bike comms) say half an hour before you hit the bypass then I can position myself on a handy flyover "C.H.I.P.S. style" and wait for you all to come by (from right to left on that map)...then we can ride the rest of the way to JOG together.

Does that sound like a plan or what?

Good idea, I've altered the title a little and made it a sticky. Hope that meets with approval.

On our way up from the bunkhouse would anyone fany a brief stop at the Falkirk Wheel as we will be passing very close - I've seen it on How do they Do It on Discovery channel and it looks a fine piece of engineering

For those who fancy a different way up , to the route we are taking back down !! I was thinking ............

A rendevous at the Erskine Bridge ( West of Glasgow) then - Loch Lomond - Glen Coe - Fort William - The Great Glen - Inverness - then take the Thurso road to JOG. A different route to the "charity" route and some nice roads.

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 ????
