Derek SkinnerParticipant
We can look again once we know possible weather at the end of March, but good to see plenty of interest. A couple local lads would prob join us as well.
Chris – no obvious campsite in Portlethen but Stonehaven is 7 miles away by the main road (but if you’re thinking of cycling it’s 10 rolling miles).

Derek SkinnerParticipantDerek SkinnerParticipantAllan – I remember 7 days in Mallorca. I would rather do loops of Hardknott pass 🤣
I am 141 on reserve list and likely to take campervan if I get in.
And… no don’t even think of it!
Del
Derek SkinnerParticipantI also entered. Not sure if that’s wise for a non-cyclist.
Del
Derek SkinnerParticipantApologies, I won’t make it on Monday.
Derek
Derek SkinnerParticipantBooked into campsite for 3 nights.
Del
Derek SkinnerParticipantI will join you
Del
Derek SkinnerParticipantIs there anywhere safe to leave a car ? Isn’t it a dodgy area….
Derek SkinnerParticipantSounds tough – but not as tough as watching Scotland 😫
Derek SkinnerParticipantJim, it’s worth doing even if solo (and weather ok). I was lucky to tag along with Philip and a few folk he knew, but there are so many others doing it you are bound to get in groups.
Best event I did last summer, just clashes with my tour of 🇩🇪⚽️.

Derek SkinnerParticipantWell done everyone. Almost 40 out today and almost 40 came home.
91 next year and a year older 🤪

Derek SkinnerParticipantLoads of room at the car park in Dalbeattie. No toilet facilities there, but public loos are along the road in the town.
When you get back on Saturday afternoon the town has plenty of places for food or drink.
Again, if you are running late let me know on 07776255398.

Derek SkinnerParticipantSaturday 9am meet up for 9.30am start.

Alan Broadfoot has ‘tidied up’ the routes but no major detours. All good roads apart from the one used for cattle only. But that’s ok.
Take sun cream 😎

Derek SkinnerParticipantAnd I just noticed we were going to be on a stretch of the A75 so have changed that as well from Gatehouse of Fleet.
I will send out the revised GPX

Both end up in the same place (Clatteringshawsloch)and same mileage.
