Featured Touring 2019 Scottish Road Trip 26th May To 2nd June

did you guys see the slightly updated routes?

 

Just a word of warning for anyone who is using a Garmin sat nav,If the route shows straight lines on your sat nav it won't work properly unless you do this.. (better writing this down and keeping it in your wallet)
Check "Settings" to verify that recalculating is off
Go to Apps..chose tracks..select track of choice
Click on "Wrench" on top left
Check show on map
Now check convert to trip
Choose beginning to end..click ok below on right
Go to Apps and then travel planner..select converted track then click go

Hopefully you won't need to do this but it's better to be prepared,i was testing a route recently and I got straight lines once I did the above it was fine but it's a bit of a pain

 

Aaaagggghhhh!

 

It is what it is, I’m not going through all that again. You have no idea what domestic carnage the first download created

 

hopefully you won't need to do anything else..you won't have to download the routes again though,just follow the instructions for sorting it on your sat nav!

 

This is all beyond me. If I can get myself to Tyndrum I’ll be happy, then I’m following you guys.

 

if you can get yourself to Tyndrum (not difficult) the rest of the routes will be a breeze!

 

What a Feckin chew on
Get one of these
Never lets me down and never needs updates

 

do you just turn it upside down when you head home

 

No, just a few doughnuts........

 

Waspy is booked in for his 6000km service on Saturday and I’m just updating my Garmin. Hopefully I should be ready by next Saturday.

 

Garage just rang. Apparently European models only need servicing every 12000kms. So that’s some money saved there (more money for Scotland)

 

The drinks are on Bonniecat

 

Don’t get too excited Sprinter, remember I’m from Yorkshire.

 

I'll be going over "The bridge over the Atlantic" to the island of Seil tomorrow, (it's about 12 miles from Oban)I've never been there and I'm curious as to how long it takes from Tyndrum as we will be stopping off there for a coffee break on the Monday when we do the Scotland trip, the hotel doesn't normally open until 12 but we will be there a lot earlier, she has said they will open earlier for us if I give her a rough idea of the time we will be there

@Sprinter what do you think of this route? i can meet you at Braemar (number 2) at a time that suits you? ,then we could do the Queens view rd that you missed last year, then up Loch Tay then on to Tyndrum. It's about 180 miles for you

 

Sounds good, I have to check what time I can start off.
Early finish on Saturday this year.
If I put the dog in the Kennels on the Saturday evening ,I can head off any time.
Be good to see the Queens view.
As soon as I know my set off time, Ill let you know.
Cheers.

 

More than willing to meet you in Pitlochry if its easier for you.

 

Hows everyone getting to Tyndrum?
Whos meeting who, on the way?
Who would like to meet up?

 

Andys coming from Lockerbie area in the morning.

 

Glencoe

 

Modified my license plate.

 

nice one Wim,but I hope that photo is upside down!

 

Which way would you normally go to Pitlochry? via Braemar or via Aviemore & down the A9..Tyndrum is only 70 miles away for me, so I don't mind where I meet you

 

I shouldn't do stuff without my reading glasses... fixed now!
