Hi Folks

Was wondering if anyone from here plans to do this years GO33? Or has done it recently?

I'm looking for a route map - struggling to find one, as I believe the route has been changed in the last couple of years. (Now starts and finishes in Killin)

Thanks

In reply to Siward:

that's the one mate - cant see the route map though. unless of course I am being an idiot - which is plausible tbh.

In reply to drunken monkey:
Folk in my club have done it every year, and I've been out supporting every year. The route map is a bit elusive - the best option is to have a look on the Facebook page:

or you can download a gpx file from here:

Let me know if you don't have the wherewithall to use the gpx file and I'll see what I can do about translating it into a real map for you.

Thanks Tony - Did see the link to download the GPX file, but cant do anything with it.

Will join the FB group and ask.

Cheers

There are assorted Strava-type routes on the FB page, but if you don't have any joy with that, I'll sort you a proper map.

But it's basically:
- steep out of Killin to start
- flat along to the burger van at the top of Glen Ogle and then down the old railway to what used to be the old Kingshouse Hotel, now Mhor 84
- along the road to Balquhidder and undulating back roads to Strathyre
- cross the A84 and go up onto forest tracks back to Mhor 84
- retrace your steps up the railway to the burger van
- down a slightly different route back to Killin, finishing along the main road and into McLaren Park.

It's a good day out - really friendly atmosphere along the way.

My wife is doing it. I'll be the guy sitting beside the trail on a deckchair with a cowbell and a bag of beer.

In reply to tony:

The park in Killin is called Breadalbane Park, not McLaren Park

Here's a map of the route that you can zoom in to really close http://www.fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1748732

Thanks Tony - that's good info. First time for me, did the speyside way race for the 2nd time on Saturday. First run today to try and ease the legs off!
