E30 Zone

Thinking along the lines of the innagural meet we had at Loch Lomond last year.
Possibly meeting "slightly" further North, but not to far.
Same sort of format as last year.
Bit of a run,park up, photo's,pub for lunch,etc

As we happen to be blessed with some stunning scenery,And ,some "cracking wee roads" in our little part of the world,I thought we could take the day and enjoy them to the fullest.
Thinking possibly of the west coast,Glencoe,Perthshire


Who would be up for it?.

Had a reasonable turn out last year.

Hoping for more turning up this year.

Any route suggestions(bikers know the best ones).

Dave

I'm up for it Dave!
West coast has some cracking roads, in fact I was thinking of heading up that way soon!
Glencoe/Fort William sounds appealing?

Fancy a wee blast on the Monday after Callander?.

Sounds like a plan!
I just booked the Monday off work - so could be up for that (hangover dependant ).

Could possibly persuade Graham and Shona as well

Lol!
Graham will be there! Any excuse to get out and about in an E30....

(in fact I'm surprised he's not been on here yet!)

Probably hasn't read the thread yet

someone mention me? ..i,ll be up for the fort willy kinda run in oct/nov. time but we both have to be back to work on the monday after callendar so no go there, more's the pity

If you are looking for a cracking road, then try the A93 from Perth to Braemar and beyond. This road takes you through Glenshee ans is spectacular as well as challenging

agreed..alford/strathdon/braemar/glenshee/moulin moor/pitlochry/perth...would be my idea of the perfect run.. twisties, long straights, beautiful scenery, but a bit hard to syncronise with southern members as we would be going the opposite directions

Gary
I agree, The roads round that part of the country are very good.
Might just be a little too far for the southern contingent though.

Graham
Agree bout Alford,Strathdon,Lecht roads,but still reckon on it being a wee bit far for the southern guys


I was thinking more along the lines of Oban,Glencoe,poss stop at the Clachaig Inn Glencoe for lunch, then onto Dalmally,Killin,Pitlochery and then down the A9 to Perth and then everyone could head home from there.

Any other suggestions??

Damn you lo! Gary-excellent shout re the a83!

a85 is good too- or we could do a loop round from glencoe to Acharacle, via the Coran Ferry, then into FT william?

im up for the end of yr run

yeah i know mate but it's just as far for us..180 miles to the start point for me more like 230 for you...and thats just to the start!!!!

Im up for an end of the year run if im not too busy. Was gonna suggest some good proper northern roads but maybe thats a bit far for you lot so wherever is good for me as long as its not too far down the country.lol

Could I squeeze in my E34, since last years' meet was a blast, still find myself looking back at the youtube vid ! once in a while.....

look at the thread in about 15mins- BIG progress!

maybe even have 2 green tourings there this time

Any more up for this??

There's got to be some more of you willing to have a blast round some glorious countryside.

Early days yet, Dave.
I'm sure more will pop up closer to the time.

Sounds fine, but I need my new tailgate fitted first though

I'm sure it was you fella, and if I recall correctly you name is James ? And your right, I went to Sheffield to collect the old touring. Some drive home like !! That was a fair while ago that I spoke to you, since then I've gotten rid of the auto lachs touring and heve now got my tech II ( needed manual rightness again see )

Lovin your motor and looking forward to seeing in in the flesh

Hehe, yep thats me. You have a good memory.

Ah, yeh that is some drive. I went to surrey to get mine but then again im not as far up north as you. Your tech2 ooks good. Hehe, Manual is much better.
