Give me a few days and i'll check what i'm like for this. I could potentially be in ( there and back in a day sounds good for me )

Stuartie,

I can't do 10th and 11th I'm afraid, I've already booked that weekend for the 4 dayer (Gleneagles to Lochearnhead to Killin to Rannoch to Taynuilt then Oban)

I mighten't even be able to do the 17th 18th as I'd need to leave Edinburgh after work and then get back sunday night, need to look at transport logistics!

Will check it out at lunchtime.

I might be keen on this and can definitely make the weekend of the 17th/18th as the better half is away that weekend ๐Ÿ˜€ Less sure of the 10th/11th but may make it.

13thfloormonk, that sounds an interesting route you're doing there. Have you got any further details of the route taken?

I've got it all mapped Ally, although I've assumed miserable conditions throughout so there's a healthy proportion of landy track thrown in, and some slightly pointless detours to visit some random wee spots I fancied.

Doune - Braes of Doune - Findhu Glen - Glen Artney - Arivurichardich Bothy - Gleannan dubh Choirein - Glen vorlich - Lochearnhead - Glen Kendrum - Glean Dubh - Killin - Lochan na Lairige - Bridge of Balgie - Lairig Ghallabhaich - Rannoch forest - Rannoch Station - Kingshouse Hotel - Victoria Bridge - Glen Kinglass - Inverawe

I was just playing with memory map when I plotted that but figured it'd be a good route, could probably do it in three days if the weather played ball...

if you were a week earlier you'd be overtaking us on our tourers

we'll be in Plockton by then though

Just had a look on memory map - unless I am being a total muppet then its a lot less than you said - under 30 miles each way and under 2500ft off climb each way - that makes it a lot more feasable for a return in a day.

anyone going up in a van / big car that can take the tandem?

you forgot to factor in the D.E.F.

D.E.F? I did only take the route to the limits of the tidal river rather than on to bonar bridge - thats probably the difference
