2013: PH Scotland Run Planning
Discussion

As far as I know there are no speed cameras (Or roundabouts!) on Arran.
Approx. 58 miles for a lap, the Nordschleife is only 14 so it would be
like Nurburgring's big brother!.
Arring - Clydeschleiffe!
Ferry is about 50quid per car but I think it best to avoid the summer hols
as Plod put bike patrols on the island as it attracts a lot of bikers, or at
least it used to.
How about early April (3rd is Mothers Day) but 10th or 17th are still clear of Easter Holidays - should be relatively tourist free - would be bad stuck behind a caravan for 58 miles!Approx. 58 miles for a lap, the Nordschleife is only 14 so it would be

Anyone got a lap record for Clydeschleiffe! Bumper stickers anyone?

First post updated with the ideas above - we can try using this thread as a discussion board and I will attempt to keep the first post edited to track the agreements and proposals.
You would be much better off creating a Wiki - then everyone can update it as they go. It makes stuff like this so so simpler; and is the perfect solution.Sadly I fear an open board would be open to abuse (some folk up here like to play when they've had a wee drinkee (no names to protect the guilty) but if it gets messy I'll drop you a line for more advice.
Not too bad an idea Bazaboy. You're just all excited about going out for blasts.
A few things.... i will be moving early next year to the clyde valley, just ouside Carluke. Might be a "Clyde Valley Run" and not the Stirling runs for me...who knows. I'm going to be pretty busy next year, so can't guarantee that i'll be able to organise anything next year, although i think it was 3runs we managed this year.

Kinky cheers for the proposal - can we still have a long thread running under a wiki as the intention was, as Olberj said, a bit of a "debate" to get to the decisions which I will edit onto the front page.
Sadly I fear an open board would be open to abuse (some folk up here like to play when they've had a wee drinkee (no names to protect the guilty) but if it gets messy I'll drop you a line for more advice.
If people abuse it; then there's 2 simple solutions:Sadly I fear an open board would be open to abuse (some folk up here like to play when they've had a wee drinkee (no names to protect the guilty) but if it gets messy I'll drop you a line for more advice.
1) You can edit it/rollback to remove their 'additions'
2) Ban specific individuals from it - so they can't do it again
Easy peasy
But a wiki is the way to go as a local events 'calendar' and links to specific threads discussing the specific event/run/curry/etc.
If you need any help - please shout - I'll be happy to muck in

Kenny,I know the Clyde Valley and surrounding area pretty well, but never having organised a thing in my life perhaps we could work together? Once you've settled in, let me know and I'll show you the roads.

Don't worry Olie i'm not moving down beside you...thankfully!!!
Wiki is ready based on the brief discussions on here so far - cheers to those who have contributed hopefully we have a busy year ahead - you can never have too many runs! (Although tyre funds may be an issue!)
Lee I can help with the Clyde Valley if Kenny is busy at work - can discuss on 27th!

If you are invited to join in the bigger events you will be told of the whens and wheres when it has been decided upon.
I never realised that PH runs were invite only for next year?craig2003 said:
What about a Western isles tour, you can get island hopper ferry passes valid for a few days enabling you to travel unlimited on Calmac ferries.
Start at Barra and work up to Lewis or vice versa.
Mega scenery they reckon on some of the roads
Craig - cheers could be a runner!Start at Barra and work up to Lewis or vice versa.

Could you do a rough proposal scoping ferry cost mileage and timing - ie which ferries and how many overnights and if so where and we can gauge the level of interest.
