Washed, waxed and fuelled up for the morning, can’t wait

That looks rather shiny, Im sure you could have coped with a black one

I was actually thinking about you while I was cleaning it and thinking two things

1. Thank f**k this isn’t black
2. This’ll not be this clean by the time I meet Stuart tomorrow

It will be fine. Is it too late to wash the car

[Scubaregs]

See you tomorrow folks.
Btw, Lynn can be a bit grouchy in the mornings, so if she growls at you just retreat slowly whilst throwing chocolate to her.

Kathleen’s had a bit of chocolate already so I’m on comfortable ground

See you all soon

Fantastic run up the Corran with the guys this morning!
Thanks for organising Peter, enjoy the rest of the trip!
And try not to laugh too much at the PBondar thread!

Absolute nightmare for us getting home today, got home after 10pm, was meant to be out for dinner at 7pm!
Shame as it had been a cracking day.
The A82 was indeed closed at Luss and we had to turn around after making really good time on quiet roads which was surprising.
Went back to Arrochar and tried to go along the lochside road to either the military road or through Helensburgh,. This turned out to be a bad move as well and after hours waiting heard there was also an accident on this road and were going nowhere, abandoned that idea and u turned again this time deciding to head for Dunoon (after hearing from Scubaregs that they were sent back to Crianlarich) and get the ferry to Gourock. First ferry was full and had to wait on the next one.

Horrendous! Seems loads of folk we know got caught in the chaos!

What a nightmare. If it's any consolation the roads were pretty empty once we got off the Corran ferry with a good run over to Mull

[Scubaregs]

I thought of Dunoon and the ferry, but reasoned many others might and it might be busy so we went back up to Crianlarich and across to Calendar, plan being to head to Balloch, however Waze rerouted us on a B road for 6 miles, then A road to Stirling and motorway home. We got back about half eight, so looks like it was the correct decision.

What I didn't understand was that all the way up the lochside, there was still traffic coming down, police should have been at Crianlarich bypass telling people road was closed at Luss.

Apologies if any pictures I post here are other members who attended as all the ones circulated within the group have all gone into the one folder. The only one I know for definite is the Highland Coo and that’s Alienzeds

It was an absolutely fantastic weekend, got the weather and made good progress after we all eventually managed to get to the Corran ferry.

It was lovely to meet the group who until now we had not met in person. A great group of people, very friendly, and they made a point of making us feel very welcome. Well organised and pretty well went without a hitch. We’re looking forward to many more
