After several months of planning, Han is finally on his way from Holland today in his S to stay the night with me. Tomorrow he'll be joining Dave M, me and some other mates with a variety of cars and motorbikes on a 5 day lap of Scotland. For me & Dave it's approx 1350 miles round trip, several more for Han!

Hoping to meet with Kev on Monday for the run back across the border and through Kielder subject to him getting his MOT sorted on Friday :fingerscrossedsmily:

After last years trip when my fuel pump packed up in Belgium I'm hoping for better luck this time...

Will take plenty of pic's and share them when we're back wink

driving

Cheers,
Longers

Good luck.

I suggest you book a night at the Tongue Hotel in, Tongue. Not as gay as it sounds but the only place that serves edible things on plates that you'll find around the Scottish coast. By the time you've reached it you'll be very grateful. It's also the last petrol station until Thurso if travelling clockwise, which is the best route as the drive from as the run from Thurso down to Aberdeen is best left to the end. biggrin

If you go anti clockwise your last day will be spent behind caravans and old people with few chances to pass.

My Glaswegian colleague has been trying to teach me how to speak the language but I'm not convinced the phrases he told us will help...... hehe

It'll be fun. still got to pack!

Adam, been at STG today, very busy time but meant to call you.

Barkychoc, forgot to ask on Monday how you got on with that cam, d'oh!

Right, packing, let's see, 5 days, variable weather so 1 pair of socks, if work wax me as threatened (cheers for your help ther Adam!) that'll clean off any rubbish. 2 water magnets, beer, 2 terry towelling cloths, beer, 1 gallon speed detailer, wheel polish, air freshener, beer, AA card, that should do it hehe
