Lomond Trossachs Loop group start
Would anyone be interested in a group start on the Lomond Trossachs Loop next spring? Would be late April or early May. Perhaps 29 April?
The route is a 300km loop through the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, starting and finishing in Aberfoyle. The start would be a Saturday morning, 8am or 9am.

Post below if you'd be interested!

No idea what I'll be doing around that time at this point, but the route is definitely on my list, so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested

Add me in. Had considered it last year but went south instead.
You might need to ensure you avoid the weekend of the Cairngorm Loop spring start.

Potentially WRT weekend too although the demographic is likely to be slightly different.You might need to ensure you avoid the weekend of the Cairngorm Loop spring start.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Lomond Trossachs Loop group start
Thanks for the interest everyone, will let you know the date when I have one.

Chris,
If this is still on I would like to join in. I was planning on doing this route in early May, especially as it passes my front door.

There will be no Cairngorm Loop spring start in 2023. There will be a June Group Finish though.whitestone wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 6:37 am Add me in. Had considered it last year but went south instead.

Re: Lomond Trossachs Loop group start
More news in a while, but there will be an "event" starting and ending at Feshiebridge. The plan is to time it so that you arrive at Lagganlia in time for a bit of a knees-up (camping will be available). It's all being set up by Andy Toop and Huw Oliver (backcountry.scot) so you'll be hearing more about it through them too. We'd discussed this at the last graviemore event so good to see it coming to fruition.
Oh - and graviemore is happening again in September too.
Re: Lomond Trossachs Loop group start
Excellent - Lagganlia is a great spot, so I'll be there if timings work out - still not managed a Cg L. Down Feshie would make an ace finish!
