UPDATE:

Ok - PM will be sent to the list of possibles/definites this morning.

Meet point: Perth (see PM for details)
Time: 9am
Route: Check PM

Well after some discussion at the last Scottish meet, we talked a little about whether to do one final run for the season.

"One more run.....!!!" I hear you shout?? Well here it is...

All forum members are welcome, and it would be great to see some more E89 owners at a meet

Following usual procedure, this thread is to gauge interest and gather in preferred dates.

Here's the plan:

* Meet - October (Saturday if possible) before the clocks go back
* Route will take in the Cairn O'Mount road, and the Braemar road. Both of which are excellent driving roads with scenery a plenty....
* I have the route done, and can PM to anyone who wants a sneak peak
* Start and finish point will be Perth - as I think this is fairly central (ish)
* I know the route....

Who's in?

1. Adamski

3. swiftly 20th - October preferred
4. cj_eds - possibles, date depending

I'm a possible depending on date Adam

[Adamski]

Oh - should have mentioned, post preferred dates (or available) dates, and we can take a call on when.

My preference is 20th or 27th. Sunday 28th the clocks go back which might mean driving back in the dark for a few....

[metal licker]

Hmmm ,got terrorvision in Glasgow on the 20th and Alan davies in Carlisle on the 27th
Think i'll have to wait and see on this one

[ZermattV]

Can't do 27th could do 20th

[ZermattV]

Send us the route through... Most of its on my manor as mr beckham would say

[Swiftly]

I can do the 20th

[metal licker]

Now think the 20th is the most likely for me depending on being able to get to Glasgow with a bit of time to play with

[Adamski]

Looking like 20th is suiting most

I'll be re jigging the route for those I've already sent it to. Thanks to ZermattV for pointing out a good local attraction up that way, on a good road which runs parallel with the planned route

You're doing a great job Adam

[Adamski]

I'll check what I'm doing for the 20th as that seems most popular. Route looks good though.

Thanks Adam

However, I have just realised that the 20th is my mate's daughter's 18th and I am 'bouncing'.... Read keeping him company, drinking beer, dealing with overindulged teenagers and letching discretely - and only a little guiltily - at her friends from the girls grammar school
