Ad love 2 make it 2 the BBQ but am skinto after gettin the car sorted plus driving 2 Brum 3-4 weeks after Cheshire just aint gonny happen wi the way ma bank balance is at the mo lol

[Wobbly Dave]

Aye but I wanted te drrrive up and doon Glen Coe at high speed!

Suppose we are not really gonna get that far?

[fraz13]

Go that far if ye want mate Glen Coe is mibees 1 1/2 hours from me and its fantastic scenery, am well up for that

Only thing with that place is theres not much about apart from scenery and ye pay tourist money for yer pint n food

[Wobbly Dave]

It would be nice to get some time off and run around up there for a bit

Here is a couple of pics of me running Rt Angle falls (Glen Etive)

Cool David

Well am thinkin this should still go ahead on the planned day (Sun 5th June) even tho Dave850R's BBQ is now planned for the following weekend, this meaning a canny see anyone from south of the border attending

Only thing now is a location, Am totally open to suggestions on this but think the Glasgow area will probs be best

The Quay offers plenty parking and food so thats a start, also the armidillo and SECC aint far and could be a good location for pics

Let me know yer thoughts

yeah 5th june works for me,
if u guys were thinkin of doin the highland cruise on sat i couldnt attent cos of work, but defo be there at the sun meet.

i like the quay idea, but what about 'loch lomond shores' complex?!?!?!
huuuuuuuge carpark mcdonalds right beside it and aweome scenery could even cruise round to luss for some scenic photos at 'take the high road' set????
let me know

ps what happened to www.volvo-t5.co.uk

That is fine. I don't mind driving all the way if you want?

Let me know what you decide? I would like to do the whole weekend and possibly a day either side (long one) Fri -> Mon eves - to make it worthwhile.

[fraz13]

Think its about time to start a list,

Fraz13
Markliddell666 (anyone heard from him?)
Grumpybob (anyone heard from him?)
Mrs Mopp (possible)
Waxworks (possible)
Dave850R
DacVolvo

[Wobbly Dave]

I have had 2 or 3 (to be confirmed) interested in the car share from the midlands.

I also think that Loch Lomond is a fine compromise on hiking all the way to Glen Coe - as it is not as far.

[Ross9]

I'll show you all some roads

Consider taking me up on them seriously though, chances are they wont be forgiving, and I'm not very patient or charitable on a blat , though agreed stoppage destinations would be adhered too.

[fraz13]

Excellent Dave, this be Volvo ppl or sane ppl???

Personally Loch Lomond is probably the best place to go, Amazin scenery, possible access to a boat (providing its not sold) Shops for those that feel the need, hills to climb if yer brave enough (i recommend Ben Lomond, pictured below, what a view over the whole Loch which is 27 miles long) good places for eating, pics and some roads that will be challenging to say the least

[QUOTE=fraz13]

Personally Loch Lomond is probably the best place to go, ...

thank you,... ill be taking credit for that one!!

you know what they say though, great volvo drivers think alike!!

i frequently do 10k races there and ew have jenners for the souvnirs mcd's for snacks and good tracks for running and cycling. cruise to luss to check out 'take the high road' etc. cant wait

[Wobbly Dave]

I am defo coming. Need a place to stay. Still waiting for confirmation on Guy & Justin and maybe one other.

[Mrsmopp]

[Wobbly Dave]
