You can stay at the back of the group,and go at your own pace, others have brought brand new 35is to meets/National etc in the pastt,and kept with our pace okayronk wrote:craig3.2 wrote:Other people are coming from North England,Newcastle area,and Liverpool etc.ronk wrote:It's a 3hour / 170 mile trip to a start point for me. I was trying to organise accommodation for the Saturday night and maybe bale out ( if the route was suitable) to visit family in the Castle Douglas area .
You could Maybe convoy up?
I could but I dont know any details.
Is the run going to be fast do you think? You know the route and the pace you need to set to get around in the time. My car is new and still bedding
in - it hasn't even done 1k yet so i don't want to be flogging it just yet!
Upto you though,as how fast you want to go in it.
Let me know what you decide, cheers

Allow plenty of time at Cragside and do the drive around - if I'm not mistaken the rhododendron are in bloom late April / Maybladeowner wrote:Coming with the missus Not sure whether she'll enjoy the Sunday hoon Going to Cragside House - NT place and then staying near Newcastle then down to The Dales etc - do the Alston - Middleton in Tessdale run etc then maybe home or stop over in York to see relatives.
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Looking at impressive turnout for this......Now at 19 cars, which is good,and probably the most there has been for a Scottish forum meet,usually get between 8 & 15 cars.
Seriously hope we get a dry day,and can enjoy the route at its best,roofs down too
Look forward to seeing you all soon
