The "Braemar Boogie Blast! 25th and/or 26th August 2012
Following the general Scottish 2013 run thread being thoroughly hijacked (by Bing !) I'm happy to take my turn as skipper for a run in the general direction of Braemar THIS August.
Given this is probably going to be a long drive & early kick off, starting & ending somewhere around Perth, with iro 7 hours driving (plus stoppage time for photos, chat, lunch & comfort breaks) I'm keen to gauge the preferences for either:
1. A long one day run on Saturday 25th - giving us all a Sunday to recover
2. A one day run on the, more traditional, Sunday 26th and to heck with Monday ( I think it might be a Bank Holiday for some anyway)
3. An overnight stop on the Saturday - B&B / camp / hotel
I'm flexible on either but probably leaning towards a long single day run.
I have two routes to propose, one a bit of a lollipop (out and back), the other more circular (thanks Nosa) taking in more of our fine scenery, in glorious August sunshine of course. I'll pm route options and gauge the favourite once a few names have confirmed.
Clearly, I will take every opportunity to relate many fascinating stories along the lines of "well the last time we drove Stelvio . . " - come on it's gotta be more interesting than brake disc banter !
Please add your name to the list below if you hope to attend and indicate your preference as above. Sorry it seems like a few usual suspects can't make it but it is summer hols time etc.
Probable attendees:
1. JaxZ4 & mrs jax ( one long single day)
2. Bing + Wee Bing
3. Nosa + A ?
4. Adamski + K
5. cj eds + ?
6. Metalicker and Mrs M
7. Andrew P

jaxZ4, nice one
One long day will be fine for us if that's the way it falls. Sunday to recover and spend some time with my Dad, Monday back down the road nice and early. I'll save me having to get my embarrassing tent out
EDIT - happy with a one long day Sunday drive too. B/H for me.

The weekend before the hockey season starts, so I'm up for this, not fussed about a 1 (either Sat or Sun is fine) or 2 day trip so happy to go with flow.
Re: The "Braemar Boogie Blast! 25th and/or 26th August 2012
I'm in, Happy to go with the flow, it looks so far like a one day long run is the preference, but if the majority is for a camp out over night I am equally happy to go along with that.

Again, happy to go with the flow. Nothing quite like being indecisive and sitting on a fence.

Well, if we all go with the flow jaxZ4 gets to make the decision - simples

Volunteering on the Fort William DH tracks that weekend so nae chance. See what happens when you're no longer a Z4 owner - sidelined/marginalised

You are now a Minority, so in good old british fashion that actually means your opinion is far more important than the majority.

Don't worry - I'll be back. Just feels weird missing z4-forum meets as I had 100% attendance until I missed the Portpatrick one. Fort Bill is awesome although I'm currently nursing badly bruised ribs, hip and shoulder after a BIG crash last weekendjaxZ4 wrote:You know that's not the case Ally -we'll expect you both back with a proper "pram top" soon !

Sort of like the Scottish coupe drivers then - although they just think we listen to them...Nosa wrote:You are now a Minority, so in good old british fashion that actually means your opinion is far more important than the majority.

I'll still be sunning myself in the South of Italy that weekend so I guess I'm out.
Have a great run.

I still don't have my rota for my next job (starting on the 1st August!) so can't commit until I know. If I'm not working then we'll both be there! I'd be happy with an overnighter but if the general consensus is one day then I'm happy to go with that.
