The Oak Tree Inn in Balmaha have been in touch to say that, due to a cancellation, there is a 4 bed bunk room free for Saturday night. So if anybody not yet signed up fancies coming, move fast and you will still be able to make the ball!

“So I’ve got a great idea!” I said to Marky Mark’s voicemail somewhat enthusiastically. “Ptarmigan off Ben Lomond. Walked it several times years ago. It’s a bit scrambly near the summit but the weather for tomorrow looks ace and it would be rude not to!”. Five mins later and he was on the phone and a plan was hatched. A relaxed start time was the order of the day with a carry up the lesser travelled Ptarmigan footpath on the western flank of the Ben. If the weather turned to shit, we had the option of turning tail while the route up would allow us to check out what we would be riding down later in the day. Continue reading

A great day out up a wild and blustery old kilpatricks hills yeasterday good call Gerry /Gav. The carvery did meet expectations Gerry..sure you’re not on commission.My rear hub trashed must have been the weight penalty after the carvery.Next time hopefully better weather.Still central heating via nips of 12yr old highland park pushed me through the worst..hicc…it’s the way forward.
ps// natures kiss recovery cream (£8.99 in all good bike shops) rubbed into tired legs absolute bliss(certainly beats the old method of a “rub doon wi a cauld pie”) ready to go at it again except rear wheel in evans for rebuild.
I am planning to be riding at 9 tomorrow – haven’t been out local since the storms so no doubt a bit of tree climbing involved……
