SOHC meet in Scotland

[Orcade-Ian]

Hi Gareth,
Back from our big trip to Germany and Austria and just putting together the details for the meeting next weekend.  I'll probably end up using the Forza - from Orkney it's a fair trek without the ability to carry very much, especially as we will need an overnight stop each way and the ferries, so I hope you'll all forgive me for not turning up on a classic SOHC/4!

Hope to see you all soon,
Ian

No problem Ian. See you on the 29th!

Well folks, that's me fully booked for the trip - Ferries sorted, staying 2 nights in Speyside, so I get a pleasurable (hopefully!) 500+ miles round trip, broken into easy chunks.  Should manage a rendezvous around 11.00 in Crieff.

Johnny, couldn't find anything in or around Carrbridge - another time eh?

Great news Ian ☺️

The forecast for that weekend and days either side is good 👍
I'm riding up from home on the Saturday should be there about 12.30 and have the late ferry booked so plenty of time to relax and maybe go for a run out in the afternoon , Gareth? Historic Kenmore anyone 😄

Kind regards Hubert

For a run out in the afternoon I would recommend the A85 through St Fillans, Lochearnhead then up to Killin and North side of Loch Tay to Kenmore.

Beware, a lot of country roads have been top dressed, with all the loose gravel that brings. ☹

Sounds great Gareth 😄👍 I'm easily pleased too and happy to go with what most people want...I've done this one too , many times and it's a super run [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I dropped into the Crieff Visitor Centre this afternoon.  All looks good for Saturday.

If you haven't been there  before, there are 2 entrances,  one Northside and one Southside. You can use either one on the way in, just follow the road round to the car park.

The photos show both entrances and where I will be in the car park. (Southwest corner)

I hope that the weather holds. ☀️😎

Looking forward to it Gareth, thanks for the pics of the set up there. Staying in Carrbridge the night before so nice 2hr ride on Saturday to travel to Crieff. Maybe meet with Ian somewhere along the way. I’ll be in touch with him.

Hi Johnny,
I'll be in Grantown on Spey for the 2 nights, so will be riding out through Carrbridge to join the A9.  Do you have bike to bike intercom in your helmet?  I'll try and ring later to exchange mobile numbers.  'What 3 words' for your digs would help too.

I'll be there at about 12.30, the Calmac ferry gets in to Oban at ten....weather looks better away from the coast, dry at Crieff ...see you all there....Ian and Johnny, you're setting off tomorrow?

[Orcade-Ian]

Hi Hubert,
Yes, we are both setting off tomorrow, I'm on the Stromness/Scrabster boat and Johnny on Banks's boat to Gill's Bay.  I'm staying in Grantown on Spey and Johnny in Carrbridge, hopefully meeting up there for the ride down,

Admire all of your tenacity and willingness to travel by various motor driven craft in getting to meet.

Its like having a Navy division of the forum 

Hopefully you get good weather for the outing.
