Had a wee look at it this morning 'cos it's running through my old stomping ground. (Clydebank - In closer detail, about half a mile from where I used to live.)

 

But this text from the commentary amused me:_

 

"And torchcam pulls a U-turn. Gone the wrong way, they believe. Hopefully now heading in the direction of Luss"

 

How can you go the wrong way there? There's only about 2 ways to go!

Carry on up the A82 to Luss, or TURN OFF along the A811 through Balloch and on to the Trossachs.

Must've been heading for the Erskine Bridge EFFT! 

 

Saw a pic on Facebook of the torch passing Lauders Bar in town, it just looked a bit odd.. kind of like Vicky Pollard charging past with a flaming cheese grater

It just looks oddly random, eh? All the afternoon bevviers from Lauders looking a wee bit bemused as this woman rattles past in a dodgy trackie !

I thought the runners were all to get gold lammé track suits - or is that only for those who have said they'll pay to keep theirs? Everyone else gets an off-the-peg bog standard suit, as close as possible to their size, but no guarantee of fit.

Yes, I had heard something earlier about it going up Ben Nevis, Are they not lighting a beacon, or something, at the top?

 

Or am I just making that up?

For those of you who were trying to watch the torch relay as it has been going from Glasgow to Inverness, there have been technical problems with the BBC online streaming this afternoon. Reports are coming in that someone has stolen the torch in transit over Loch Ness and I think I have discovered what's happened.

Or even into St Andrews  

On to Guardbridge, St Andrews tomorrow - if I remember rightly.

I drove over the Tyne bridge yesterday and saw 3/4 of the olympic rings they're putting up ready for it coming through Newcastle on Friday.

 

I asked Master Cinds if he would like to come in to toon to see it, I got this reaction .  GAH! Teenagers.  

Cinds

Coupar - Darsie - Guardbridge - Leuchars then convoy to Dundee.

 

Starts from St Andrews first thing tomorrow and winds it's way to Edinburgh via (amongst others) Alloa, Stirling,Cumbernauld, Falkirk. Dunfermline and Broxburn.
