As a few were looking for a run (and a few have asked when we are having the last one of the year). Is anyone up for a run to the Oban aera on the 11th October.

Was looking at meeting up in Oban with Inverness/Aberdeen/Edinburgh/Glasgow (and surrounding groups) making their own routes for getting there and Lunch in Oban perhaps visit a distillery (just an idea) and perhaps a run over to Perth?? Suggestions very welcome I am just putting a few ideas down.

Or just a run over to Oban for Lunch with like minded car folk blowing off the cobwebs before their cars head for cover for the winter..... (god what we really need is a place like Ace Cafe)

Cheers

Ave

The 4th & 5th dates are not set in stone guy's. If people would prefer the 11th or 12th then we can go with that. These are only suggestions at the mo to see the interest.

As for eating?? Correct with the parking as I know we all like to keep an eye on our p&j's I did find this place http://www.dunstaffnagemarina.co.uk/company/locati... have not called them to see what parking they have. Has anyone ever eaten there?

I wouldn't recommend going to the restaurant at the Dunstaffnage marina had a couple of bad experiences this year and last at it food wise. Go to the Oyster Inn about 1-1/2 miles along the road at the Connel bridge. Good food, car park out the front and back, great views over the water and has a pub called the Glue Pot next door too.

Might take the Griff out for a run from Aberdeen to join you as i get back from offshore on 3rd.Would be good to meet up with some fellow PHer's as I'm just new to it.
That's what I am looking for. Cheers for the suggestion TallGriff. http://www.oysterinn.co.uk/ Want somewhere with plenty parking for all you guy's motors and half the websites I have been on don't give you much on pictures.

You are more than welcome to break your "cherry" with us lot on a run. They are all a great bunch of people.

So is this happening on the 4th/5th or 11th/12th?
I was hoping people who are interested could give a preference to what date they can make it?? Not that long ago people were looking for a edinburgh meet/run so I thought some might been up for it, but that section seems eerily quiet.


Come on guy's Oban is not that far away for a jaunt?

OK guy's let's go for the 11th as a few have showed an interest for that date.

Now remember guy's What ever aera you are heading from. Have a wee pow-wow with the other members to get a route together. And then we will make the Oyster place the meeting point for lunch.

Any preference to where we go from their is up to you. Over to perth might be an option but it's been years since I have travelled that road so could not tell you what it's like.

If D_T_W lives but a gnat's baw hair from me here in sunny ABZ, why is he departing from Inverness?
Erm,

Because you get to play with him when I am at work. All the other weekends I get him.

It's called shared custody! Deal with it biglaugh
