Slightly OT but im hoping to put on a beginner friendly 300 in early July in Alba.
Night start (2230) from Stirling which has direct rail services from Glasgow, Falkirk, Edinburgh and even outposts such as London.
Just a little riding in what passes for night time in Scotland in July (daylight by 0330) and full on village hall TLC at 95km and 185km. I think Mr Cameron from Forfar may be approached to provide pastry based sustainance tho im not sure if its better as supper or breakfast.
2,500m climbing according to RWGPS, even if thats not bang on this is probably the least lumpy 300 possible starting from Stirling. Route is basically Stirling - Perth - Forfar - Farnell - Edzell - Kirrie - Stanley - Comrie
- Stirling.
Might even throw in a bag drop if theres demand, and maybe a Brewdog finish for the Rapha clad brigade.
Im waiting approval from the Eassie Hall authorities to use their swanky hall in the dead on night.
As a Falkirk Bairn theres always a frission of excitement and a whiff of danger while walking the streets of Stirling.
