Run to the hills... (mini Scottish road trip)

[rory182]

Went a wee blast in the cars with Alan earlier, met in Glasgow.

Headed out through Bishopbriggs, then onto the Balmore Road through Balmore turned down through Torrance and over the back road to Lennoxtown.

Then up over the B822 Crow Road over the Campsies, some pics taken on the top with the view North towards Ben Lomond and the Trossachs.

Then swung right in Fintry over towards the Carron Dam, some pics by the windmills in the Kilsyth hills, then we took a left up over the singletrack road past North Third / Cambusbarron (towards Muz's house!) and ended up at Stirling Services. I pissed on a golf gti and we blasted home down the M80 then off into Kilsyth where we went our seperate ways.

now for the pics:

Oh yes, that's a route indeed! Just got to watch out for the sheep.

Sounds like a fun blast, cracking pics especially from a phone. Spent last night recovering from Monday's epic trip...

Ally

P.S. John - new car? Me too...

 

[Beef-Mc]

Some nice pics there, I really like the ones with the sun setting behind the clouds.

You happy with the purchase??

Yeh, the Paul Smith mini is going - lookin for either a phase 1 172 or S2 106 Rallye, cheap fun!!

 

[Ally]

Good good, bet you'll be sad to loose the Mini. Happy with mine (just posted a thread in the non-clio media section). Cheap(er) fun than the CTR.
