Chris (of Kippen & Br of Allan fame)- I hope you’re looking- see what you missed- hope you can make the 12th April run (see events)
What you didn’t miss at our rendez-vous, ASDA Bishopbriggs- was the “coffee” – yuck!
From there, all 11 of us, over the Campsies in fine but cloudy weather, to Thornhill, Doune, Dunblane, Braco . Of course the road from Braco to Comrie is a biker’s paradise, except for the very bumpy surface.
Just short of Comrie, we diverted into Culybraggan ex Army & POW Camp. Here the writer was at an army Training fortnight when around 14 years old, & his enduring memory of that stay was the 48 seater toilet! Let your imagination run free & wonder!
All 50 or so Nissen huts are still there and of course, so is the recently declassified news that an underground anti-nuclear shelter is there, ready for the big-wigs to hide in & run the country from there until— Vladimir, we may have to restore it yet!
A quick stop in Comrie for those more modest souls who didn’t fancy the facilities at Cultybraggan & a fab run back to Gartmore, via St Fillans, Lochearnhead, Callander, Lake of Menteth & Aberfoyle.
Liz MacGregor was there to meet us and provide us with her cosy conference room, all to ourselves. The food as ever was very good & Liz generously provided coffee & goodies free at the end. A first class venue for us- we feel totally at home there. We dispersed around 4pm- a Grand Day Out
