SkyeFall Run 2014 - 30th & 31st August - Updated 29/07/14

[metal licker]

Fecking lashing down in north Cumbria , knew I shouldn't have bothered washing the Zed

[Bing]

I didn't wash mine... Maybe just clean the wheels later

Lovely and sunny so far, but only at Watford Gap... I expect it'll be shite soon

[Swiftly]

Make the most of the sun as its pouring here

[Guiseley]

Setting off from Leeds soon - just started to rain lightly but maybe that's the best I'm gonna get today! P.S. Mine hasn't been washed in a fortnight so a bit if rain might perk it up a bit!

[sk93]

I'll be setting off at 4pm.

Have to make an emergency run to eurocarparts first...

[Oli T]

Just setting of now, see you up there

[Bing]

We're more than half way now... Got a wobble though, about 75-85mph

Just steering, so think it's alignment... Don't suppose anyone knows a hunter alignment place near Dunfermline that will take a short notice booking at 3.30 on a Friday

We're setting off between 1pm and 2pm (hopefully)

Raining here too - glad I washed, polished and waxed the car last night - and cleaned the wheels.

In the words of Ian Dury - "What a waste"

[Swiftly]

Patchy rain showers at the moment here in Edinburgh, hope it brightens up a bit

.. Got a wobble though, about 75-85mph

Not just needing a wheel balance or has that been done recently - easier to get done than an alignment ! I've got a good guy southside Glasgow but nowhere near Dunfermline. Ally might be able to help (not quite his patch)

Castleblair in the Wellwood area (01383 624288) if it’s just a wheel balancing issue, the owner Mel is mates of my F-in-L Olly and does all our MOTs and is our first port of call for any car related issues.

Pro-Grip in Larbert (01324 557071)is renowned as the best Hunter-equipped specialist in the central Scotland area, ironically it’s located behind to the Premier Inn in Larbert. John the owner has a great reputation and has done all of my vehicle inc amusingly my campervan

Oh, and rather wet here in Falkirk. Witnessed a classic case of wet road-induced LOOS this morning as a Pug 307 sailed sideways around the roundabout 4 cars ahead of me, before being halted by a big road sign. Lots of airbag detonations and smoke before we helped the guy push it onto the verge. Oops.

[sk93]

stereo issues solved, parts in from eurocrapparts, boot nearly packed.
just need to wait for coolant to cool to fit the new sensor, then I'll be ready to go.... tired already lol

[jaRED]

We had great weather hooning up over Buttertubs and Hartside. Now on motorway in the rain.

[Bing]

We got here about 1450, already had my Dad out and scared him witless - he refused the offer to drive the car

I'm going to deal with the wobble for now, it's not really noticeable on non-motorway roads and is maybe just a wheel weight fallen off... Though it is pulling to the left a little, so probably worth getting an alignment done in the near future. Thanks for the recommend though Ally, appreciated

Glad everyone seems to be getting up here fine - hope the rest of you arrive safely...

My family keep asking if I'm sure we want to camp with the weather, but I am steadfast in my commitment to discomfort
