Rogue runners 2016 tour

[Fury1630]

dont know about you but i am excited already

What took you so long??

My detour takes us up (or possibly down) the "Electric Brea"

I've driven up (down) it before & it's pretty weird, but Youtube is awash with eejits getting out of their cars to watch them rolling uphill, so watch out for them.

Okay so I need to order a radio then!

Presume it's easy enough to set up; this one will do right? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151525555316

That's quite a detour to get over to Ayrshire from the M74 although there are some great routes to get there.

I'm no expert - really REALLY no expert, but mine has UV-5R on the front & that says UV-5RL, don't know if the L is significant. Other than that I paid about that from a UK supplier & got the same package, radio, headset, charger, CD & lead. There's instructions on setting it up here or hereabouts:-

I got mine to set up pretty easily after I gave up trying to understand what was going on & just followed Russ' instructions TO THE LETTER

If nothing else they'll be useful for calling out fuel stops, cafes, & warnings of sheep & camera vans

It is - but the route I was given went a long way west of the M74. The detour adds about 19 miles, so isn't to bad & it takes in Nardinis in Largs & the old Largs road over the moor to Greenock too - all haunts of my youth it'll be good to see again.

Thanks! Will have a look for one in the UK and then I can follow Russ' instructions to get it set up...I wonder how big an aerial I can fit to the roll cage

Cheers,
Henry

Nardinis hasn't changed in years, which is why it is so appealing and of course the ice cream is superb. Largs can be VERY busy on a good sunny day and car parking can get tricky. There is a large public one right across the road from Nadinis but it fills up quickly.

Nardinis hasn't changed in years,

EEEK - just realised it's about THIRTY FIVE YEARS since I was there last
