Put me down for dinner in Applecross. I will book the tent into the campsite. Will probably stay at Dundee on Thursday night after work, to see my daughter. I can then have a fun run to Fort Augustus on Friday.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

I put you down already Geoff, couldn't see you going hungry  :nono

If you're going to take the A9 (slog and watch for the speed cameras) then A86 I'd recommend going cross country on the A923 via Coupar Angus and Blairgowrie, where you have a choice of continuing on the A923 to Dunkeld (A9) or A93/A924 to Pitlochry, A9 and then across to Spean Bridge along Loch Laggan side on the A86.

Alternatively you could head SW onto the A827 via Aberfeldy and along Loch Tay side, not the most entertaining road but spectacular views down Loch Tay towards Killin (falls of), pick up the A85/A82 towards Tyndrum. We could catch up with you at the Green Welly and go on up through Glen Orchy and Glen Coe, you have to ride through Glen Coe if you've never done it.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Meeting at the Green Welly? Along with half the bike riders in Scotland , the North of England, Holland and Germany as well as the local polis?  Glencoe never fails to impress , even on a wet night, and I have had  a few of those through there. Depending on the weather, if it is good and I set off reasonably early I may head up through the Cairngorms on b roads and then drop down the A86.
If I fancy a detour I will go on the Hull ring road!
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

I hope Lonely Planet (50 best secret destinations) have not jinxed the Sat evening dinner run  :BangHead I hope we don't get bus loads of tourists as it's only a locally known place normally.

Quote- Loch Ness, Scotland - 'While tour coaches pour down the west side of Loch Ness, the eastern shore is relatively peaceful. Here you will find Dores Inn, a beautifully restored country pub with a garden that even has its own Loch-Ness-Monster-spotting point. The menu specialises in quality Scottish produce,' according to the guide.

Can't trust anybody to keep a secret these days  :blah
