Border Reivers (Scottish English Border) Run Sunday 17 September 2017

Post by patriot66 » Sun Sep 17, 2017 10:09 pm

Arrived back home in Lancashire safe and sound at 7.15pm tired but very satisfied. A big thank you Peter for organising an excellent weekend. Alison and I really enjoyed it. Excellent meal at The Buccleuch Arms last night and great lunch stop at Clennell Hall today. Superb roads and a great route also :driving: Dodging the showers just added to the experience :). It was good to see some familiar faces again over the weekend and also a few new ones. Apologies to anybody I didn't introduce myself. Once again thanks to you Peter and your good lady and hope to see you next time.

Thanks to Peter for organising his first forum meet.
Was nice being able to just turn up and take part....though in saying that,I have a few meets in the pipeline for next year already,lol :)

Echo what others have said,good roads,bar the one after the Lunch stop,and that cattle grid :o
,and an interesting lunch venue...was a bit snug in that cellar for us all, haha.
Food was good though,plenty of it too :D

Good to see everyone again,from both sides of the border :driving: :thumbsup:

See you again soon, hopefully,in October.

As others have said, thanks to Peter and No for a great day. Good drive up Saturday with the North West group and lovely meal Saturday night. Another good day Sunday and the weather wasn't too cruel to us. Until the next one :thumbsup:

Hello, thanks for everybodies positive words, much appreciated, I was shattered and had to have a large scotch yesterday evening.
(mind you I'm shattered most days and still have a large Scotch)

Looks like I need a new left rear cover for the wheel housing and rear deflector after those high g dips.. :thumbsdown:

Whilst its fresh in my mind, looking to next year, there could be some variations on a theme.

Given the size of the Scottish Borders / Northumberland and the number of good roads its easy to see how two runs could be created without much overlap.

So

1) How do people fancy two runs, each on a Sunday, spread over the year? 8)
2) Or a weekend, based say at Clennell Hall with runs each day? :evil:
3) Stick with one run? :!:
4) Giveup? :fuelfire:

Not being evasive here but 1, 2 or 3 would suit me!
I would say that if hotel based then you might want to also consider the Dryburgh Abbey in Jedburgh.

You pointed us here last weekend and we were impressed. The place has a car club friendly car park so should appeal to those of us who worry about car park dings.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I am happy with either 1, 2 or 3 for me, but would prefer possibly a different hotel. Ronk mentioned Dryburgh Abbey Hotel in Jedburgh, I know the place and gets my vote or possibly something similar :D

Options 1,2,3 sound good! :thumbsup:
I was also thinking of a South West Borders run for next year, been testing a few roads whilst travelling with work and got about half a route worked out but happy for someone else to take ownership! :D

Whatever you decide count me in please ! :D Personally, in order of preference I'd say 2, 1, 3.
A whole weekend of driving such fab roads amongst wonderful scenery in the company of a great bunch of people sounds just perfect to me ! :thumbsup:

Just throwing an idea into the ring here for future events, there are loads of usernames, real names the faces to try an remember on a run and its sometimes a bit of a memory test - so why not when we submit our :thumbsup: to the organiser via a pm, could we also submit our real name with a thumbnail photo for a sheet with mug the shots for distribution on the day?
