Re: Next Meet summer '08???
Sorry for the lateness getting back, been fairly busy with computers and dogs lately.
Anyway, regarding the next meet, i am fully open to suggestions and routes, also, i am always interested to hear feedback into what kind of meet's you want. Pub lunch/drink (non alcaholic), Run out, static etc. Please be open about what you want as this makes it easier for me to decide what to do next

Re: Next Meet summer '08???
Well I have finally managed to get enough money together to tax my wee beasty so I should be able to make a meeting......unless its a huge distance. 17mpg of V-Power doesn't agree with my wallet

Re: Next Meet summer '08???
not settled on a date yet, how does early July sound?
So, any ideas on what type of meet you want? It is finally summer so by rights it should be a run out  but i am not very good at coming up with routes.

Re: Next Meet summer '08???
Seeing as nobody else has made a suggestion I would prefer early to mid july so either the weekend 5-6/7, 12-13/7 or 19-20/7. Thats my thoughts on dates.

Re: Next Meet summer '08???
If memory serves me well, there's a tourist railway from Huntly to Dufftown (Via distilleries of course). the road that runs parallel is quite nice, although it's been a couple of years
p.s. Just had a look. It's the A920 and there's lots of wee twisties around the area.

Re: Next Meet summer '08???
I drove back from rockness festival through grantown-on-spey and dufftown and can vouch for that stretch of road as a great drive!
I'll try to make any meet if the date and times agree...
p.s 19-20th I can't make myself.. would preferably have it before or after.
