Title: Green Road Run 8th Dec - Garelochhead MOD Training Area
Post by: genem on November 07, 2013, 11:18:55 AM
Folks, another one for the diary - I've got the paperwork in and running for a visit to the Bosnian Road, Garelochhead on Sun 8th Dec. This is the MOD Driver Training Area above the Faslane Submarine base. Trying to negotiate access to some extra bits we've not used before....

A week to go. Start point is as per the map below, 10 am on Sunday 8th Dec. Entry is £10 to cover Liability Insurance and the MOD license. You'll need food and fuel for the day. One person in the vehicle needs to be an SLROC member ( or at least in an ARC affiliated club like S2C), your membership card and maybe a tow-rope!

Cheers.

Gene

Our power at home has been out since yesterday and as I'm about to leave work I may not get access to the T'internet for a while - SSE are saying some outlying areas may not get power till Tuesday !

...so I may not see any questions or queries posted.

The plan outlined above stands, see you on Sunday at 10am !

Cheers,

Gene

It still shows as A817.

Never mind what the number is - the road is still in the same place!
