Nice one Chris. So that's the route out west if the weather's good lads and lasses.
[/quote
West route is good by me, if drier in the east here is a suggested route to & from Banchory http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&sour...229095&z=10
Working from a dodgy hotel wifi in Bergen, Norway just now so hopefully this works!

Might I suggest a slight variation to this route as:
this here link
It takes out the main East coast A90 stretch to Stonehaven which is boring and adds a much more enjoyable bit.
I know coz I was riding it just a few days ago when I stopped and took this picture.
Just a thought.
I'd come along me self but I'll be away with the missus.

If so, we can take the A82 Loch Lomond, Green Welly etc then either Loch Tay to Pitlochry or for the more adventurous we could do Glencoe, Fort William, Spean Bridge, Aviemore. (4hrs + stops) or someone might have another suggestion?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This sounds good to me, I was aiming to leave sunny Merseyside at about 08:30, which would get me into Glasgae at about 12:30 ish. Fatchap and Pete Kelly, you guys up for this too? We could meet at Forton Services on the M6 about 9:00?

Cheers, that`s my usual route but I was not sure how much time we would have on our hands.
Anyway, still keeping the fingers crossed for good weather for exploring the West Coast if possible!!

It's glorious up here at the moment (about time!) and looking good for the 5 day outlook.

Do you want paying for these now via Paypal?
Just realised that you are £120 out of pocket.

Went into Roo's leap toask about the 10% service charge - they won't waive it! So I've booked us into Paparock for 8pm on Saturday night - they were more tha happy to look after us and it is biker-friendly to boot. Also confirmed breakfast at the Cairngorm Hotel for 08.30 on Saturday and Sunday for approximately 10 of us.

9:00 at Forton it is, see you there Colin. I'll PM me mobile No to you. Any other NW Carpedians joining us? Bobajob, care to name a handy meet-up point near Glasgow? Somewhere where we can grab a bite to eat? I'd guess we'll be there for 12:30 - 13:00.
Cheers,

No problem. Thinking about Morrisons supermarket (LINKY) which is near me in case the bikes need any emergency fettling, has cheap petrol, is on route and you can park the bikes outside the cafe window. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]
Alternatively we can meet at the Asda in Govan which is right on the motorway but people get shot in their cars in the car park!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]

Hi Bobajob,
I think that Morrisons sounds just right. I have put the address into my satnav, so if Matlock is agreeable, we'll see you there about 1pm.
Cheers,
