West Coast Drive - 29th April

[GreigM]

On the 29th April we will have a drive from the Glasgow Area up some of the west coast roads. We will start at 11am at Duck Bay Marina on the shores of Loch Lomond, then proceed on a more unusual route across the Glen Fuin road to Garelochhead and along the coastal road to Arrochar. From there we will drive over the Rest and Be Thankful to Inverary for lunch in the George Hotel. From there we will head dead north through Dalmally and along the A85 and rejoin the A82 at Tyndrum. From there we will head to Crianlarich and then an option of proceeding along the A82 back to our start point or along the A85 through Lochearnhead, Callander and then through Stirling and home. Please let me know numbers for lunch.

Count me in. That will be 2 for lunch if I can convince SWMBO. You know Duck Bay is closed at present following floods before Christmas, not sure when it re-opens.

I have not visited my family who happen to own the George Hotel for years so I better come too!

Food is great there so Shauna will be there too.

Can't wait to see their faces when I rock up!

So we can all look forward to a discount ,,just like Gleneagles

 

[chfs911]

Brian, You can look forward to what you like but whether it materialises is another matter!

Gleneagles can afford to give me 20% off.

I think the George is value for money anyway so I am sure best I can do is get 20% added to your bill. You drive a Porsche after all!

Was in there last week ..agree it is value for money food is superb and the sweets are yummy ...best to book tables as the place was busy

 

[GreigM]

Hence why I want numbers - if you don't tell me you're coming you're not gonna eat!!

 

[kitchens]

Yes .....get names down now ..though you would be too busy to post.....,though you would be getting ready for Eltons bash tonight []

 

[garthcatkinson]

Charles - Ailsa and myself will be there and it will be good to see Shauna and yourself again. Fully concur with the recommends for the George having been there in Dec.
