I am trying to get together a meet up of the members of all Martin's Forums who will be in Scotland this summer.
Unfortunately we cannot do a visit to LRE Dunkeld as it appears they are no longer opening to private groups with their own cars.
There is a sign-up over on RRSport.co.uk if you are interested at

Is it an exclusive event or can those with towbars go too?

Great stuff! Been keeping an eye out for a meet in Scotland for a while now. I'll hopefully make it but I'm at sea myself around that time but will know if I'll be back in time, soon!

Meeting is 2nd August - 09:00/09:30 M9 services at Stirling for the south group
I haven't heard from my northern contact where he wants the NE cars to meet up to come south and meet us near Dunkeld.

I attempted a winter run over the route this afternoon - it wasn't a dismal failure and I'm sure with an earlier start and some more cars it would have been a great day out, especially driving the virgin snow on the high section of the Amulree to Kenmore road.........................

The main roads were all clear bur on the A822 through the Sma Glen the track was down to one car width BUT the snow was thawing/ melting quite quickly.

The roads are great to drive and are not "off-road" they are all metalled but unclassified through routes - except the road to Loch Turret (it is above the Grouse Whisky Distillery at Crieff) which is a waterboard road that is open to the public.
The summertime photos are on this thread http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic13588.html

Went for a play in the snow over the weekend, I was trying to get to top off Hartside on the A686 just after Alton heading west,
When the snow got to approx 2 foot drifts (60cm) the freelander got stuck the front wheel were well off the ground ?? I tried to get out but the door wouldn't clear the snow . my wife asked if I was happy because I had got the FL2 stuck, yes . To my amazement it drove out backwards with a little wheel spin ?? a lot. Not bad on standard half worn tires. See the pics. If i can down load them
