scooby222 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 so its getting close enough to the roads frying out to start thinking of runs and being a glutton for punishment i thought id see if there was any interest in highland fling '10 - revenge on the tandoori! if theres enough interest il stick up a proper thread in events but il get an idea of interest here first and also any suggestions for improvements for anyone who wasnt around last year the plan is departing Inverness on a saturday morning about 10-11 o clock in 2 groups,progressive and family speeds, following a classified route to skye where we spend the night in portree with a wee bit food drink and banter before touring the island on sunday morning and returning to the main land and dispersing sunday afternoon
micra_wrc Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) you been out "frying" the roads again sweetie?! edit to add that the format of the last one was fine, perhaps a bit more pub-time would be good, as its rare that we get to drink together as a group. Edited January 25, 2010 by micra_wrc
paul555sti Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Depends on dates but i would be up for this again. The last one was a great weekend and me Tam and Brian never even had a curry
StrikE Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 revenge on the tandoori will do me fine & a wee chuckel from the wife Looking forwards to Frying a few roads too
scooby222 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 whoops! i would change it but why spoil everyones fun lol frying roads will let the bananas tyres get grip if nothing else!! yea,the 2 changes id planned is no distillery visit to give us more chilling time and NO INDIAN!!
wrxmania Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Sounds good, depending on when etc. Ideas on a month? Brian
Midnight21 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) ME TOO PLEASE but maybe alcohol free this time lol Edited January 25, 2010 by Midnight21
StrikE Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 video from last year's trip LOL Imy it took me weeks to stop signing that tune to the great dismay of my poor wife ha ha sneaking up behind her in the kitchen & giving a blast of ''i just came doon fae the isle o' skye'
the squiggle Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Banana will be shod with suitable rubber in the next couple of days. Well up for another visit to the island in the summer. Instead of noising up the same locals how about same format but different area, still North of Scotland but not Skye, nothing against Skye just fany something different
gus the bus Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 ME TOO PLEASE but maybe alcohol free this time lol Me Three please . Early May would be ideal (football season finished and not moving house this time )
scooby doom Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Good call Dave . I'd be up for this again, just need enough notice to make sure I get time off or shifts changed if it clashes with a weekend I'm working.
scooby222 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 start of May is when i was thinking of,worked ok last time for not clashing with anything mr squiggle sir i shall look into variations of route still ending up on skye, theres also been mutterings of a run northwards from another scallywag on here -im sure either way i can find a suitable donkey haven en route
irish al Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Sounds good, more drinking time and banter as a group sounds good. Mini pub crawl ending up somewhere nice to eat ? highland fling '10 - revenge on the tandoori! Al
cullenmin Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 theres also been mutterings of a run northwards from another scallywag on here Enter the Cullenmin I have hinted at the possibility of a run in the far north of Scotland with an overnight stay in Ullapool. I'd be up for doing both a Skye Run and a Northern Run, both with overnight stays and in a large group. Possibly split them up by a few months (Pre summer & post summer). Just an idea mmmmm Talisker, get it doon yi Grant Rich
cullenmin Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 highland fling '10 - revenge on the tandoori! TANDUBARU 2010
paul555sti Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 While up there it would be crazy not to visit here........ http://www.lochalsh.com/beallach/
bobbyc Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 May is good & i'm easy but then we know that Work always comes second so i'll be there no matter what the dates lol roll on revenge on the tandoori
lewisscoob Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Yep, count me in too! The Beallach is a great drive, even in the pishin rain and fog that engulfs it 90% of the year!
ally-b Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 While up there it would be crazy not to visit here........ http://www.lochalsh.com/beallach/ At the last Glasgow meet we were nattering about this very subject and Squiggle suggested Applecross as a destination , with 'that road' being good reason - I pointed out that bookings for the hotel or campsite would have to be booked well in advance as it is a tiny (P.O. + inn) village and the campsite is very popular with climbers,hikers,cyclists,bikers + tourists all year round. The roads are second-to-none , traffic minimal , scenery exceptional ... scooby-juice might be hard to find though - but no worse than Skye ! lol Discuss . . . . Al.
sczscoob Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I'd definatley be up for another run. Just date dependant. Think I'm away most of May he around the 25th
wrx kenny Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 ill do the run as well, missed last years kenny
