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...
Glad you both enjoyed it Peter,pity you couldn't stay for Sunday's drive. Never even saw you before you left.
See you again soon :driving:

Thanks to Craig, John for organizing and to all who attended Saturday evening. Hope you enjoyed the Sunday run.
Hope you get your wheel fixed okay, Paul.
That was a nasty pothole,though surprised it did as much damage.
Pity we lost you early on,but glad you got back on the road later.
See you again at the next one mate :driving: :thumbsup:

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

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:
That was good going Jim,took me nearly as long to get back.
Can do it in 2hours45 or less,but had to stop twice and for a nap,cup of tea etc,as was exhausted.,Ended up over 3hours15!!

Great to see you as always mate,and one of these days hope you can get to a Scottish meet :thumbsup:
See you again next time

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

Cheers everyone :driving:
Glad you enjoyed it,and good to meet you both.
Yes,got airborne myself in past meets,lol. Can be interesting/fun,haha.

Hi Craig,
Thanks to you and John for good weekend. Enjoyed myself, even without my car.
Just a heads up on the camp site. Talked to the manager on Sunday and he told me the Triumph group were asking about camping on the same weekend next year. I know Lune Valley dog show is on the same weekend next year as well. He said to contact him asap to get your provisional booking in.
Cheers :thumbsup:

Why didn't you come along and join us,Dave?
Had a late night on the Friday at Tom Jones then when we passed you there was nowhere to turn around otherwise i would of. Car is running sweet now so will deffo be joining you guys on the next outing. We went over Kirkstone Pass which was mega busy and wrong call. Glad the weather held up for you all. The Lakes on a sunny day makes perfect for cruising with the roof down. Will keep an eye out for a next run out. :thumbsup:

Thank you both Craig and John for a very enjoyable run out yesterday. I know most of those roads very well but it is always much more enjoyable to drive them in company with like-minded petrolheads and in 'proper' cars too. I would have liked to be able to come along on Saturday also but 'best made plans' and all that. Fingers crossed for next year ! Thanks again and see you soon, Si.

Look forward to seeing the video clips.
Was good to see you as always. Pity about your alloys,
It's a bugger when that happens :headbang:
Hope they get fixed without much trouble.
