Hi Andy

If you come to the campsite in the afternoon , you should spot my tent , same one as last Ullapool (with coleman lantern on side of tent) , and hopefully my big tarp .Think steve has a Phad 3 tent now.

Not sure when we will be back from the rideout , but will see you there , if you make it .
Cheers Craig

Big thanks to Craig for setting up this meet - even if it was just me him and a couple of Austrians!
Excellent choice of route/roads/veiws etc etc etc.
Will be doing the KinlockLeven Loop a few more times :woohoo:

Hey LWR, glad you had a shot of the Leacainn Forest Drive, Its local to me. Love doing it, both directions. Great roads up there for some fun.

Also the Kinlochleven road, yeh can agree to that, did it for the first time last weekend with my mate from Edinburgh who was visiting.

Had a blast, and looking forward to doing more. Roll on Ullapool...

A great weekend , Mini Adventure with some excellent company (apart from the dreaded midges) ..

Some of the best roads in Scotland .. IMO A mix of A roads , b roads , gravel lined single track , hard packed forest track ..
