Dates for those interested.

So, briefly, the format would be similar to the Welsh Weekender/Highland Hoon 2014 - rock up on Friday evening and meet the rest of the reprobates for dinner, and some other refreshments. Up early on Saturday for breakfast, then hit the road for 9:30-ish and enjoy your beautiful car in some of the best scenery Scotland has to offer. A couple of coffee stops and lunch while we're out, then back to the hotel to round the day off. Then breakfast on Sunday, farewells etc..

I'll update this thread as and when required.

As 2014, limited to 20 cars

Cheers!

Scott

Hiya Martyn,

We've done Pitlochry, so we're moving the base this year.

Just a wee update.

BigEck has agreed to be my wingman again, this year (thanks pal).

Between us, we've hashed out the route, and I must say, it looks to be a belter!

We'll be doing a recce run in a few weeks prior to the hoon, and making some notes for the route packs.

I've sourced accommodation, and just trying to work some bamboo under the hotel's finger nails to get a deal put together.

If you guys who've out your name down could PM me your email address, I'll get a list together.

Cheers!

Scott

Hi mate,

How highland is highland? It's in the Highlands wink



The entire route is in the dark green shaded area.

I saw the article on the North Coast 500 route. It's a great route, for sure. I've done most of it in the past, but, we won't be doing it for this years Hhoon15.

I can't give out details of the route until nearer the start date, and I won't post it on a public forum, I'm afraid.

However, I can tell you the route is a little longer than last years, and equally as enjoyable from driving, and scenery points of view.

We've also got great accommodation options that we're working on. When we do get the recce done, I know we'll have a memorable spot for lunch.

Guys,

If you've signed up to take part in this years Hhoon can you take a moment and ping me a PM with your email address, please.

Things have moved along, and thanks to Frances and Will, we have secured a fantastic accommodation package.

Things are going to be a little different this year - we are booking two hotels. Both are part of the same group, so booking your rooms will be just as easy.

So, please, fire me off those PM's as soon as you can, so I can send the booking details directly.

The route is confirmed, and I'll be running a recce shortly just to ensure it runs as good as it looks.

I've still got a couple of things to sort out, but hoping to get the details finalised in the next few weeks.

Cheers!

Scott
