Throttled Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 This year I think I will pick a region I have not been to and do that. Plus the pubs should be far more doable than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttled Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Now I have been to the Loch Tulla view point and this is not anywhere to be seen....Weird how that comes up on the google maps link. It looks more like this.....http://www.loweswatercam.co.uk/13062301p.jpgand it is the car park where there is often a burger van and bag piper. It is also the scene of the very first road accident I attended after I joined the police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing I just find a pub near me with any of the 10 names and these aren't specific pubs in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, mate......so long as it's a pub name that's listed, it doesn't matter where in the country it is...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think that the thing to remember about the challenge is that it's just an encouragement to get out on your bike, and maybe explore places that you've never been to before......above all, it's for fun!....

Cool so I'll find the nicest one in range as might as well enjoy a drink and lunch at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocky Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think there should be extra points for getting the Applecross Inn, although the reward for getting there is a fantastic ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgrump Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Did think straight away when looking at the Pub names, have to try for The Applecross Inn, not been over the Pass for awhile, last time was on a Old Honda CB650Z. Another brill road is if you do the Rannoch Smokery, then if you have time carry on to the Rannoch moor station at the end, brilliant bit of road.
