2013: PH Scotland Run Planning
Discussion
Having finished the route I now have the lunch shortlist for the March Run, spoilt for choice this time. I will try and get a similar menu to the Kilfinan hotel on the last run but the venues look suitable and the route works well - will do a proving run when it gets above 5 degrees.
The march run is all ready now - lunch sorted plenty of parking - route checked in full. Will post a thread in a week or so.
How are people feeling about Arranring in April?
Dougie are you up for organising?
What date suits folks - schools seem to be off for just about the whole month!! so not sure when or if tourists will hit Arran.

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.
I will have a proper look at it in the new year.
What sort of dates and for how long a trip? A night camping and one in a B & B or all tenting etc etc?

Happy to give it a crack Barry, may need some guidance on what works best, let me start a wee ask :
For July would folks like :
- Coast-to-Coast Borders run (West to east or vice-versa)
- Central-to-Heeland blast (think Glencoe / Rannoch)
- Cross Border Raid to Engerland (Multiple options- Broughton to Moffat and on down)
- More adventurous stretch to Scotlands own Stelvio ala Bealach na Ba (nuff said - warm up for Gumbaw)
If I get a wee consensus of what works for folks will do a scout run one or two of the options

Personally I'd be up for a Glencoe Run as Borders should be covered by Si (Monaro5.7) or as far north as Applecross if we make it a Saturday/Sunday with a wee overnight camping/town with beer.For July would folks like :

Maybe Steve and Craig could have a chat and maybe do a weekend Central/Glencoe/Applecross/Central.... Saturday/Sunday Run 23/24 or 30/31 July??
Could be fun!
