Myself and one or two other Thames Valley PH'ers are heading up to Scotland for a road trip.

Starting June 22nd (Sunday), we are driving up through Wales to the EVO triangle, and then heading towards the Lake District for the night. Around the lakes, then up to Livingston for the start of our 850 mile "Lap Of Scotland", heading back down south on Friday 28th June (possibly via Alton Towers).

If anyone wants to come along for the ride, feel free to drop me a PM.

This sounds like an excellent trip so I thought I would give it a bounce.

The idea was originally conceived here:

Just had a nose in here and found this. You might want to post in the Scotland section and maybe meet up with some Highland Hooners while you are up.

Just a thought.

Pete after last weekend I have some suggestions other than the EVO triangle in North Wales, I'm not actually sure the EVO triangle is better than some of the roads MUCH closer to home (and it's not very long).

I doubt I can make any of this, but I might try and join you for the start / finish.

Pete, the detour to Northo's http://www.rioprestige.com/ is inspired. Looking forward to seeing some of Northo's cars in the flesh smile

I can certainly join you on the Sunday and maybe a bit of Monday.

Work commitments sadly rule out the whole week for me. frown
