Right folks, let's get our first Scottish* run of the year organised, following on from the main discussion thread I'm happy to run a few this year having served my apprenticeship on 3 years worth of excellent and varied runs.

For now, please express your interest (or lack thereof :(), provisional date is Sunday May 3rd.

Rough idea is an anti-clockwise loop round the Pentlands, probably starting M8 J3 and finishing back there or somewhere on the Edinburgh bypass for those from the east. Lunch stop on the southern bit of the trip, maybe Carnwath/West Linton/Biggar. I have some good roads locally round Livingston and a provisional route in my head - will scout out the remainder and coffee/photo stops in the meantime.

I'm on holiday next week and will be offline for most of that, hopefully there's a good response by then and we can firm plans up once I'm back.

Cheers,
Andrew

*All welcome of course, even those from darn sarf and those who have defected to other manufacturers :P
 
Hi Andrew,

Steph and I can do either weekend so add us to the list whichever date you pick. (Our NE run, Hawick Loop, is 26th April - right in the middle).

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
Sorry Andrew.
Working the first weekend :( and will be in Florida the May dates ...........Whoo hoo! :trampoline:
Pity I cannot make it. Good luck and :thumbsup: for taking the time to organise it
 
Hopefully we get a few numbers for this, as it will be the first Scottish meet of the year...and hopefully on Sunday 3rd of May, lol :D
 
Hi Andrew

We hope to make this -even if it's in the "wrong car" - just returning from 2 days away on the Saturday lunchtime but all going well -we'll see you there.

Come on guys need some more numbers for this !
 
Looks like May 3rd is the popular choice then so we'll go for that. Stay tuned for updates here or via PM, and more welcome :).
 
I should be able to make this and I know from speaking to cherrym think he may attend also. U's north Easters should convoy to start together.

No problem Craig, Mike's already asking what time we should set off :lol:

Anyone else want to convoy up with us?

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
Is a 0930 meet for a 1000 start too early for you guys convoying up, should we start a bit later and skip a coffee stop? I did a bit of scouting last weekend and will do the rest this weekend so the plan's coming together, stay tuned!

Sorry to see you can't make it Alan, hopefully see you the weekend before!
 
Been discussing the set off time for us in the 'south' - can't speak for all but Me and Cherrym were looking to arrive about 9.30am (Guess Chezsherman would be ok too but haven't spoken with him yet)

That means 9.30 for 10 would be fine for us :thumbsup:

:driving: :thumbsup:

Ahh this is clashing with Duxford now isn't it?

Gary - you going down to Duxford? hat's a heck of a trip there and back. . . . well worth a visit though - brilliant place. :thumbsup:

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
I went last year Paul, I set off at 4.30am and enjoyed the drive down. Think Russ just beat me to it on opening if I recall?

Its cracking day, enough interest to keep you there until 4pm and I'm used to driving those distances daily now with my job.

Looks like I'll miss out on this Pentlands' hoon:(
