GRR Aberfoyle - Loch Lomond.

Many thanks to the land owners and organisers, I hadn't done this one before. Great wee section going down around 1000ft to Loch Lomond, especially effortless and comfortable in the D4, even with rubbish road tyres on.

Did get a few photos, but mainly of me as I was looking for a new Avatar, will stick up later.

We fell short of the car park by 2 miles..kissed a rear wheel bearing goodbye so spent the day in the garage instead...pays to have a mechanic with ya...cheers Dad :-)  Looks like it was a great run real shame we missed it though I'm glad we didn't break down halfway across the hillside eh!!!



might I add I haven't moved or deleted any image...technology has..I have no idea what happened or if it showed in the first place  :o

Or at the loch side, that would have been a nightmare!

First ever real off road run for me today so glad I tagged along. Plenty of helpful advice as well so hopefully I wasn't a pain asking the stupid driving questions  ???

Well and truly hooked with this 90 now so when's the next event? Can't wait !!!

At least i made it back over the top before my "temporary six months ago" clutch pipe gave up , would have been a test of nerve coming back up with no clutch i think.  Made it home ok.....it was interesting at roundabouts etc       Thanks to organisers for a great day.

I know what you meen, motor diddnt feel wright even when taken out of my garage,bye the time i left car park there was definitly something wrong but persiviered but as soon as i got to the forrest track  i  said no this isnt going to like being in a convoy, retired with as you say a nightmare trying to get any gear cursing at people breaking when your at a nice speed for no reason or at clear junctions. but got home without calling recovery service only for it to be pee ing down so will look another day to see whats wrong.
