Just meeting up with everyone and seeing the coops is going to be great, I am happy to go along with the route suggestions as we have the chance to drive these roads more often than some. The Glenfinnian house hotel looks really good too.

I'm thinking of a spin-off thread called: 'things I need to do to my car before I feel it's ready for the North of Scotland meet'! Separately- we should maybe coin a title for this mini tour- bearing in my mind, if it's a success we could attempt a repeat in the future, and if the route was slightly different then the name would have to still work....
