Following on from the pub talk thread for favourite roads, just wondering if there would be any interest in a longish drive around the highlands. Based around this route>>

When I finaly get home, I'll probably do a recky run as it was a few years ago since I did the whole route in one go. That will get me some realistic times for arriving in different places for any late commers to meet up and sussing out somewhere for a spot of lunch. Should be a good shakedown run for the Gordinis first run.
Thoughts are to get an arrival time for Blairgowrie, to meet up with the central belt crowd and merge two routes for a while, late lunch around Killin, before splitting up at Balla... Something like this>>
