Hi,
We've planned a long weekend trip over to Fife to visit family in the first weekend of March. Depending on the weather we may ditch our trusty Honda and instead brave the elements with the LGT. If it appeals to meet up and go for a small jaunt together, feel free to reach out via PM. Cheers.

If you're in fife on the 2nd (Sunday morning), Bacon and Brakes is a fine way to spend a morning. https://www.therhynd.com/bacon-and-brakes

It'll be the first meet of the season.

Absolutely bring the Alpine, plenty of fun roads to get here on and travel around while you're here. Where are you coming up from?

Bacon and Brakes is held at a lovely farm / cafe but has expanded to use an adjacent field for car parking. Looks like 2nd March is currently being monitored to see if the weather will enable it to happen. If it's really wet the few days before, it might be they decide to get the season going in April instead rather than turn the field into a quagmire. Even if its not on, the cafe is still a nice place for lunch over the weekend. The guy who runs it is Ed Foster, the tall and dapper regular grid commentator at Goodwood, so there's a strong Goodwood vibe to the place.

First bacon and brakes now not on until 6th April due to the wet weather. Cafe will still be open over the weekend though.

Thanks Biggles for the heads-up, appreciated. It'll be the trusty old Honda then! Joking apart, for this trip we need the extra baggage space. My well take a gander at the location though.
