Tiggie Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 How about The Old Forge Pub at Inverie, Mallaig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I was thinking of instead of petrol stations, have whisky distilleries. For pubs, have the Tartan Arms, The Bonnie Prince Charlie, The Loch, The Thistle Bar etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year, there needs to be a tag unique to Scotland, that only I can do easily and everyone else has to ride many hundreds of miles. I'll allow substitutions, what stations do you have?

Throttled Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 @Hoggs Other petrol brands that have a good spread around Scotland are Gulf and Thames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttled Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Thanks, Gulf and Thames are Scotland substitutes for Texaco (there used to be one not far from me, I did not know they had all gone) and Harvest Energy, of which the last one in Falkirk closed and is fenced off. Now I need you to change most of the pub names...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieOWheels Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 @Hoggs, do we get 50points once we get all the petrol stations? On your description it doesn't mention it so not sure if we all it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgrump Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi @Hoggs, while we are on the subject of points, In Scotland you have 11 Blue south tags! 12 North orange tags + 5 orange tags I think you put in for @husoi! So how are we scoring them? 11 blue + 50, and is it 17 orange + 50, or 12 + 50, and 5 + 50?, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 oh its a points fest! complete any colour or stations / pubs and you can get a bonus 50! its all about fun so I'm not precious about it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must try and head towards @husoi direction as that's an easy 50pts if I tag the ones near him.

Paul-Kent Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Disastrous start today as my new top box decided it didn’t want to come with me but still managed to bag a few clocked just under 240 miles today sadly my trusty notepad and name tag got a bit wet from my drink bottle exploding when top box went flying 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieOWheels Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 @mike_smith, Hoggs has agreed that you will get the 50pts bonus when you complete all the petrol stations, Well done on all your locations so far though, that's some effort!

mike_smith Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hello I am just finalising my tour of Scotland. This is a picture of the lat/long co-ordinates for Glenfinnan Railway Development Museum from Google earth- it looks like a private house. Is this the picture you want or do you mean the nearby Glenfinnan Railway Museum at the railway station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
