320 miles all in - some terrific riding roads on the above route
Stunning weather up here, and deserted roads mostly - I'd almost trade the reduced grip and the cold for roads this quiet if the weather was like this more often in winter.
I sat on the beach here for several minutes at 4pm (Loch Tay).
(if the fecking batteries hadn't run down I'd have some better pics)

Lived in Aberfeldy for about 8 years a while back and have had some great runs on the surrounding roads.
Many many bikers blasting along the Aberfeldy/Kenmore to Killin road in the summer, just have to watch for the caravans and tourists in the warmer months!

Very nice when the roads are quiet, but as you say a bit of a nightmare in high summer. The road from Aberfeldy to Crieff is a personal favourite of mine - fantastic on a summer evening.

We had lunch on the inaugural jockmeet many, many years ago at the Crannog centre around the corner from there.

The road from Aberfeldy to Crieff is commonly known as the 'Sma Glen' and is indeed a very very fine road to navigate on a bike or indeed in the S and the scenery is truly stunning
