I lived in Richmond North Yorkshire For 3 years when I was a kid, and have made numerous trips to the lakes and through the yokshire dales, And both have there own Beauty and would love to retire in one or the other.
Also travelled quite extensivly around Cornwall and Devon, Again both Gorgeous
In fact we are planning a drive down To York next year and I want to as much as possible stay off the main Roads and take a more scenic Route
Like this one
Ahhhh, I wondered. I'm going to try and put together a definitive list of Scottish members for PM'ing about meets in future. I get email notifications about PM's but not sure everyone has them set up like that.muppet said:
My photos are currently uploading (well, I hope so - left them uploading on the laptop at home...) so should have them up later today.

Nice pictures and looks like you had a great day. Not sure where the animosity is coming from but ho-hum. :?
We all love our Zs the same.

playalistic - I think you're missing the humour here. Nothing at all has been made in anything other than "banter" mode, as I'm sure other members will agree. Guiseley seems to understand it fineplayalistic said:

Oops, sense of humour bypass for me this morning
I grew up at the base of the Cleveland Hills and spent many a weekend camping and hiking in the Hills, North Yorkshire Moors & The Lakes as a kid, when I lived down south I travelled to Cornwall, Devon on numerous occaisions and travelled all over Hampshire, (my then home county), Surrey & Berkshire then moved to Suffolk, its all very pretty BUT and its a big but I have seen nothing in England to compare with what I have seen in trips to the Highlands of Scotland.Nosa said:
If you go that route just watch out in the border area there are stretches where there seems to be a speed camera every 1/2 mile or so for what seems to last an eternity.Nosa said:
Finally got them uploaded
All the photos are on this link HERE - if anyone who was there wants copies without the watermark in the bottom right, let me know).
Earlier morning:

More engineering at it's best (and the Bridge ain't bad either...):
The "other" Bridge (marks on lens from washer fluid use with roof down - doh!):
The "Nosa" lights:
St Andrews:
Mr & Mrs Nosa's holiday home?
Anstruther:

Our run on Sunday could almost be called the "Mary Queen of Scots Run"
On my way to the meet, I passed by Loch Leven, where Mary was imprisoned for a short time.
Then we met at South Queensferry, where Mary used to cross the Forth, going from Edinburgh Castle to her parents home in Falkland.
Not far from Queensferry is Linlithgow Palace, where Mary was born.
During our thrash round Fife, we passed by the ruins of Balmerino Abbey, where Mary studied and attended religious services with the monks.
We ended our run in the village of Falkland, and walked along past the Palace gates, where Mary spent her early childhood with her mother Marie de Guise. Her father James V died before she was one week old and Mary was crowned Queen of Scots before she was one year old.
Mary's mother was known as "Mother Goose" by the Scots, and some believe this to be the inspiration for the pantomime character.
One more boring fact for our English friends - Mary's son James VI became the first King of England and Scotland.
