Riding through France and down to Valencia in November for the GP, does that count as an adventure?

You'll do for me Tim!
Great choice that tour around Scotland and the Clachaig is a tremendous pub with a good night life (there used to be a youth hostel nearby with loads of visitors at this time of year, especially of the female type!?) - the pub used to have a hole in the wall and that was used to throw the empty bottles out the back (a new take on "re-cycling" - I guess that is not PC nowadays so it may have been blocked up).
I've camped in the camp site at Invercoe on the loch side within walking distance of the Glencoe Hotel - don't remember what it was called though.
Know what you mean about the VFR - the last time I was in Scotland it was on a Blackbird.
So, it is France next as well - told you! BTW, for me, any bike ride is an adventure.
Cheers,
