Excellent weekend and as always thanks to Craig and John for their respective parts in making it work so well
Was a real good chance to stretch the legs of the F Type for the first time. Far too addictive an exhaust and engine orchestra when pushing on a little :)

Many thanks to Craig and John for organising a great weekend. The views on Saturday were fantastic and the Sunday drive section to Alston following Craig, Laine, and the bike was especially awesome. :thumbsup:

Craig, many thanks for organising everything so well.

Thanks to the wider team of shepherders, helpers to making the weekend run on rails..

Frustratingly we had to go back on Sunday to collect the dog from kennels so missed part deux!

Hope the Sunday went well 8)

We'll be back next year..look forward to seeing you and others on the Borders run in September...

Best from Peter and Mo...

Just like to echo the thanks for a great weekend

The memory of following an Alpina and two M Roadsters at full chat with a howling snarling popping and growling wild cat behind me will be lasting

Really nice to meet some lovely people and see and hear some great cars

Arrived home at 13.10 today managing the 250 mile trip in a record for me 3h 55 mins without a break. :D
Big thanks again to Craig and John for all the hard work they put in, making it a fantastic weekend for the attendees yet again.. :thumbsup:
Grand work with the raffle prizes again Craig. Was a charity decided upon?
Great to meet old friends and new and can't wait until 2018.
Didn't take many photos but tons of video which I'll post up in dribs and drabs.
Cheer all. :thumbsup:

Had a great weekend,and thanks to all those who came along.
Glad you all enjoyed it :thumbsup:

Thanks to John (sammyz) for helping me organise the meet as always mate,and sorting out the final routes.
We already have had a chat about next year,which will include bits we never had time to do on the Saturday,but will not do the Buttermere pass(not to be confused with teh Buttertubs on Sunday),etc given how busy it was this time.

The Friday night meal was as tasty as ever,and the Hotel was very busy, and was good to catch up with people.

The Saturday drive was indeed very scenic as always,but the Buttermere and Honnister passes in the afternoon were the busiest either me or John had seen them,and were a bit of a pita with the amount of traffic we met.....otherwise an enjoyable day. Lunch up at the visitors centre was tasty,and enjoyed in lovely warm sunshine :D

The Raffle went well,and hope those who won prizes make good use of them all(will post in due course winners).
We will also vote to see where we want the Money raised to go :thumbsup:

The BBQ went well,and Thanks to Andy O for volunteering to get them started while we went for food,and thanks to Jim,Rich and Julie for coming for the Annual BBQ shop with me,haha.
Thanks to Gareth, Peter, Andy and Phil for helping me cook everything,and making sure everyone got fed,much appreciated it guys.
Meant I had a bit more time to chat to other people and spend a bit less time cooking/and to relax a bit :)
Thanks again,guys for sharing the smokey eyes that inevitably results from it,lol.
Thanks also to those who helped prepare rolls,etc.

The Sunday drive was indeed as epic as ever,and never fails to disappoint,regardless what roads we do,or add into the mix. :driving:
Too many highlights to mention,but the morning section was very good,warming s up for the afternoon which was even better.
Had a great blast with Dave,Laine and a biker,which was alot of fun :D
The weather stayed dry and was pretty good all weekend too.

Thanks again to all who attended,was great to see everyone,regulars and new faces alike :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Look forward to seeing you all again next year,and some of you sooner. :driving:
Cheers

Evening all. Big thanks to everyone for making our 1st Zed outing an epic day and making James and I welcome. Craig, John, count us in for next year, we'll make a weekend of it. James still hasn't got over going airborne.

I'll keep a lookout for a possible North Wales jolly in September.

Cheers everyone :driving:

Here are a few picks from the passengers seat.

Good to see you again Phil,car was looking nice,and as me and John were saying to you,the right mods have made a nice addition to it.
Would still have the AWD Coupe v6s though ,lol :poke:
(Driving round Scotland and Wales in one made my mind up which model I would have if I had a spare 45k for a decent one 2nd hand.)
