Oban yesterday today Campbeltown

[stuartb]

Just back from an amazing blast down to Campbeltown... left at 12 got in at 8pm.. roads were excellent... Loch Lomonside was busy but traffic started to really thin out after Arrochar...up thru the Rest and Be Thankful stopped for a roll...round by Loch Fyne...Inverary and then the fun really started.. fantastic clear blast to Lochgilphead and down the coast road..scenery is really outstanding..great views over to Gigha..really good pace from Lochgilphead to Campbeltown, nice smooth corners and organised overtaking...stopped for 1 hour and food and the done the reverse, 260 miles all told. Great day out...

Great run it was Mac. I'm ******* shattered lol... done similar mileage yesterday.. Lochgilhead to Campbeltown is a smashing road... you can sit 65 to 85 all the way down tucking in and out the corners..nice and smooth nothing mental..

I'd like to try that road, only managed 80 odd miles today but no traffic for some reason so great fun. Did you try out your new leathers?

Great run. One of my favourites and weather today was excellent by the look of it.

Stunning photos, glad you have another great day on the bike Stu.
Those new leathers really do look like a perfect fit for you, great result!

 

[Loupe]

Looks like you had a great day out and a bonus you’re leathers are a good fit. Nothing worse than buying things you’re not entirely happy with.

 

[stuartb]

Class day out lads...leathers are smashing. Extremely well manufactured btw if anyones looking to buy..

Did that route after my last NC500, Epic.
Got lucky with the weather .
The scenery was something else.

Oof. I can't wait to get this way next week. I'm just praying my fractured finger doesn't hurt too much.
I'm riding down from Invermoriston to Campbeltown and back in a day can't wait.

I had a blast on Saturday on the RR.
Few less midges down south too...
