The Scottish Mini Splash Dash 2009 will be held in the Scottish Borders, at Lauder. Here we have located the most beautiful, breathtaking picturesque Castle, set in a location with panoramic views, fresh country air, outstanding scenery and some amazing wildlife. We know that Thirlestane Castle will have you memorised by its shear and utter beauty.

Scottish Mini Splash Dash - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th May 2009

We would like both Classic and BMW mini owners to enjoy a full Bank Holiday weekend away from home. Set up camp along side Thirlestane Castle, sit back and relax while other mini owners arrive, or take a look around the beautifully restored castle rooms, some of which hold the most unique plasterwork ceilings in Scotland. Walk around the stunning gardens or sit and have a bite to eat in the castles café.

Wake up early and see the sunrise over Thirlestane or listen to the birds in the morning, take part in our Treasure Hunt or Rolling Road that have planned. With a kid’s outdoor play area open all day at Thirlestane castle we can guarantee that the kid’s wont get bored, not only that but they can take part in the ‘’Find the Eagles’’ competition and be in with a chance to win a prize.

Sit back under our large marquee at night and enjoy a glass or wine or a beer with our special Hog Roast and BBQ Night, male and female toilet and shower blocks will provided with hot and cold water all weekend, enter our charity raffle or play with some of our large outdoor garden games. After a long jam–packed day, head to bed under the stars and wake up to a beautiful new day with a driving experience you’ll never forget!

Take part in the unforgettable Scottish Mini Splash Dash Run, experience some of the most scenic roads in the Scottish Borders, and pass through some of the smallest villages. Breath in the fresh county air, stop for a bite to eat in a local pub or take pictures of the stunning scenery along the way. Not to forget – test out your splash guard through some of the best splashes in the Borders.

The Scottish Mini Splash Dash Guide Lines:

The Scottish Mini Splash Dash Run' route is not a race, we ask everyone who attends to take into consideration on-coming traffic, wildlife, narrow roads and tracks and to be aware that pheasants have a mind of there own!! There is no time limit on this run, so feel free to stop any where you like along this run but be aware that standard driving laws are abided by at all times.

We look forward to hearing back to you soon; it would be much appreciated if you could post this event up on your mini forum for other mini owners to read. If you would any more information then please do not hesitate to contact me via my email address or mobile number I am happy to answer any questions.

Clubs can pre book camping space in advance if they wish to camp together and have there club banner put up in front of there pitch, additional space can be reserved if the club has a small club gazebo, for commuting purposes.

Many Thanks

Kayley

Hmmmm. All looks interesting, and would be fun to attend. But, I can see next year being a difficult year for folks financially, and having to chose carefully which of these sort of events they attend. And with MINI United later on the same month, they may have difficulty finding their 250 MINI's/Mini's.

Yeah never done a Mini meet and it does sound fun but I’ve put my name down for the twilight run simply as I know the roads and it’s a massive run that’s simply stunning.

Thirlestane Castle that’s a new on for me looks a great place for a wee visit.

all sounds fantastic... Hope I have money for it by then, but I think the answer will be no with MINI United 3 weeks later... :frown:

never say never tho, if I have money dripping out my pockets then I might just be there... :thumbs up:
