yip Loch Lomond shore's has plenty of room, and if folk want a wee trip we could meet there and then take a trip along loch Lomond and cut of and go (slightly) cross country over the "old hall road" which was purpose build for army lorry's carry'n war head's trident/faslane & coulport (abit like a roller coaster road for car's) there's a good big car park half way across it with amazing veiw's of the clyde valley then from there we could go in to helensburgh which is full of quality chip shop's and chinese places and more than enough car park's as there is a monthly meet already planned for Troon 6th may then maybe this could be a sort of in between monthly meet? maybe set this up for either sunday 13th or 20th May?

can we pencil something in for May 13th? if this is OK with folk i'll type out a meet point and a wee tour .... taking in some of Loch Lomond and maybe Luss (stop of for a cuppa T?) then across the military road in to Helensburgh? nothing to "out the way" just a 15-20 mile drive with decent photo taking areas and like ive said above i think stopping in Helensburgh for a good chat a nosey and if folk want there's place's for eat's like i said not a lot of mile's will be covered between leaving and returning to the meet point but good veiw's and good road's and good company to be had
PS, if folk want we could also head in to Arrochar and travel back to Helensburgh along Loch Long .... not a great road though for low car's.. ------------- 2003-530i SE

SHORTY: if all's well with other's you might beable to use this date & route
OK folk's how's this look? Sunday May 13th meet point: Balloch Loch Lomond Shore's (outlet's car park) Time: 1pm have a meet N greet and then leave for 1.30-1.45 travel 10 mile's to Luss (large car park with a T-room/carry out) where folk can have a cuppa and a natter. leave Luss and double back toward's Balloch for 2 mile's then take the millitary road which lead's to Faslane/Garelochead (8 miles) stop of at a car park with a veiw (i know which one) camera's at hand then from Helensburgh go back across to the meet point/Balloch (8 mile's)
maybe not thee best but all in about a 30 mile round trip (excluding your get there/get home mile's) on good smooth road's .. which will have the odd visitor from other countries and the odd police car .. with a couple of stop off's (if wanted?) for pic's, food and banter (if needed balloch, luss and helensburgh all have fuel station's) if this is a go'er and it work's well and if folk want maybe we could do a longer run in the summer, maybe a trip to invarary or Oban? please add your thought's to this wee outing so we can get it posted in the event's area, thank's
this pic was taken at the "car park with a veiw" ... a while back, when my E39 had it's 4X4 look!

[Are east-enders are allowed?] We ain't been to Loch Lomond for a while, we fancy this too as we have that day free.. a nice 2.5 hr drive to get there Ian: Silver E39 Any east enders for a convoy? Was thinking of an alternative route rather than the boring M8. M9 to Stirling, meet up others along the way, then the A811 all the way to balloch (nice scenic twisty road) |

ive been having a wee think and if you'd like i could arrange a nice drive on to this wee meet .... maybe add about 20 mile's on to it?.. it would miss out going in to Luss from Lomond Shore's, drive a few mile's along the A82 then cut of over the hall road, (maybe stopping at the car park with a veiw) then instead of heading in to Helensburgh we turn right and follow the very smooth "base road" to coulport , in to cove then down hill on to the old road which take's you along the shore line toward's Gaelochead, then on in to Helensburgh for... food, drink or ice cream (sorry but ya'll have to buy yer own!) i would sugest heading down the A82 in to Arochar then back vie the loch-long road but some folk may find that road a little "topsy turvy" and on in to Helensburgh i'll let you think about it and we'll see how thing's pan out as the week passes ------------- 2003-530i SE

Ok Bull by the horns time I recon. Easties: As the meet is 1pm through at Loch Lomond, I don't see the point of leaving Stirling before 12 so lets go for that. I'll be joining at Stirling so I'll be at the Services from 11:30 for a 12:00 departure. Ok Malkie ?? Its not a big drive to Stirling from The Gyle Carpark so why don't the Edinburgh Crew meet there from 10:45 for a 11:15 departure to head for Stirling. Rob as you seem to know the road, I nominate you as convoy leader from Stirling on (deligation........don't you just love it lol) feel free to deligate this to Issy if she goes. If that doesn't suit anyone, please feel free to make suggestions / ammendments. ------------- |

Sh*t .. sunday's weather ain't looking to hot once you reach Balloch .. enter Lomond Shore's (retail park) from the roundabout drive straight ahead and keep left, as you enter the "ring road" that surround's the car park take the first entrance in to the car park's and then follow the exit sign's and we can meet at the top end of the car park (quite end) i'll be there for before 1pm so you should see my car as you enter the "ring road" if anyone would like my mobile No PM me and i'll forward it to you
also if it's heavy rain on saturday and folk would rather put this off then say so before sat-night and we can arrange a future date
PS, are we all up taking a 30 mile drive over some decent road's with good veiw's then on in to Helensburgh for food (chip-shop) and a natter then returning to Balloch before splitting up for home (ruff over veiw: Balloch-Arden-Garelochead-Coulport-Cove-Roseneath-Garelochea d-Helensburgh-Balloch) not so much a Loch Lomond tour, but still a good area to see and drive round and a lot less police and holiday folk and if the weather is decent we'll fit in a couple of scenic stop's. ------------- 2003-530i SE

I should be out there wie the boys but instead am stuck in the hoose wie a knackered back
apologies Ian for not letting you know earlier but I was trying to leave it late so to give my back every chance to ease, but it gave in again as soon as I sat in the car. Ian, for all your efforts in organising I hope you got a good attendance and the weather holds out.
