Trossachs Run/Meet - Sunday 8th October 2017

Post by Highlander » Tue Jan 24, 2017 7:59 pm

OK,I get that.......very sceptical,but I get it.
I read a thread on pistonheads a few years ago about an organised run in Scotland...doubt I'd be able to find it but take my word it was farcical.....got very graphic with descriptions of driving styles,etc,etc.........all a bit childish in the end.In fact if I remember correctly I think a fairly well known car racer(possibly retired now) participated on the day.......he quickly backed away from this shambles :rofl:
I think we're a fairly "under the radar" forum and tend to favour scenic/less busy roads for the bulk of a day out so hopefully don't draw attention to ourselves :thumbsup:
I have the UK eurovision song contest score on my licence ATM.......and intend keeping it that way.

Thought I'd move this up the page a bit, I'm sure there's a few newbies might not have seen this yet!

Newbie alert. I'd be interested. Never been to a "meet". Hope it's not like the silly max power shows that used to happen. I'm a bit past that now.

It's more like a get together,go for an enjoyable drive,with lunch in between and 1 or 2 toilet/comfort short stops :D

Well interesting day!
Took our usual route up to Aberfoyle then over Dukes Pass but drive spoiled by a cycling event! :thumbsdown:
Decent drive from Kilmahog to Killen, not much traffic, unusual for this stretch! :thumbsup:
Taking our normal road towards Loch Tay we then took a detour North on the single track road towards Lochan Na Lairidge, what fantastic scenery!
Also tried another new route from Kenmore to Amulree, a road I'd read about a few times but was a bit disappointed and don't think I'll take it again!
From Amulree to Crieff via the Sma Glen was pretty much traffic free and we enjoyed our usual good pace, love this road! :thumbsup:

Sounds as if it it was a full day.

Any additions to last years route?

Sounds like a good one....I have been busy in the house and out in the garden working,so have not had much time to get out :thumbsdown:
Though I did do a wee 20-30minute loop near me,to get the z out for the first time ina few weeks :driving:

Look forward to the meets getting under way,and good thing you got out to enjoy some nice weather :thumbsup:

Left home about 11 and got home about 5:30 so pretty near full day.
I'm wishing we'd left a bit earlier in the morning, might have missed the cyclists and could has stopped a bit more often!

I'm tempted to add the road up past the dam and Ben Lawyers, scenery was superb but I'm a bit unsure about taking a dozen + Zeds down single track roads for about 20 miles, traffic wasn't an issue, we only had to use passing places a couple of times, might try and get another couple of trips back there just to be sure!
