Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[ShooglyDougie]

Cycle path 76 is a complete joke. Thick mud path, then you enter a field, then you have to go through a 3 foot wide gap in trees. Completely unrideable.

Sounds great fun. Anyways no ride for me yesterday, I got a box

From back road out of Larbert into cowie

been caught on that myself

I'd been on it before, but from signs up looked like it had been fixed as used to be all potholes. Had to use my water bottles to wash the dirt from front brakes

New frame arrived?

Yep, iys rather good. Thought I would have to wait a wee bit as I needed a new headset and other bits, but the lovely people at On One put on an deal I couldn't say no to and managed to get the frame, all the bits I needed and some more bits I didnt . just got to dismantle the old and stick it on the new. Might even post a photo.

I've got 3 days off this week, thinking about places we can visit, Don't mind doing a bit of driving, anybody got any ideas?

Waterfalls and scenic places are top of the list

Pucks Glen is lovely - bit out of the way for you.
The Falls of Foyers are stunning. Again, bit out of the way for you.

Pucks glen reminds me of Dollar glen
I'm thinking the Pots of Gartness would be nice?

We were planning a camping trip to Skye in the summer but don't think that's going to happen now

I'm fine thanks! Was hoping for a ride but it's too windy for me. I'm giving Priscilla a good clean instead as we got a bit muddy on our last outing

I've never seen the PoG, been past them loads of times but never took the time out to go see them.
If you're after a series of river rapids you could do worse than Killin

Ooooh, I see you're in Perthshire. We have a weekend booked in a luxury cabin in Pitlochry in April.
Anything you'd recommend we see/do in the area?

Perthshire's a pretty big place!
Um, regarding Pitlochry, I guess it depends really. Lots of good cycling country around there and I vaguely remember that the river front is quite nice, you can hire a rowboat.
