EVENT CANCELLED


The route is yet to be confirmed but will probably be Strathcaro Services, Banchory, Alford, Ballater and finishing at Perth Broxden Services. Would be around the 150miles, so quite long. Start and finish at petrol stations. Not sure on a lunch, possibly a picnic at a park in alford but will try and find a restaurant because we all know the Scottish weather!

Date will be Sun the 5th of April

[dellie]

[Forbes]

Cool guys. Cheers for the replies.:thumbs up:
Cheers Craig going to do a recce this week, will look for petrol stations aswell guys. Any other tips for making it a good run?:confused:

[rpn]

I would be up for it. April is a free month for me, so far, unless something else crop up between now and then. Away for a week sometimes in March and two weeks in May next year.

Done that round trip couple of times before but always on the bike and never in a http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w214/rpn48/car.gif yet.

[Duncan Stewart]

Sounds like a good run :D We would be up for it

[Forbes]

Sorry not had a chance to recce it...
Date will be Sunday 5th of April 2009

Will hopefully recce and post a proper thread next week, if i get a chance.

[Forbes]

Did the first stage of recce today. Will hopefully manage the rest soon. But Brechin to Banchory is sorted. Hopefully people will like the roads, slow and fast sections, A roads and unmarked roads.

[john]

Sound very much like a shortened cullen run, put me down too

[Forbes]

Not quite we finish in Perth but only done a bit of the recce. Added you.

[john]

If you need a hand with the Recce let me know.

[Forbes]

Cheers:thumbs up: I am getting it done slowly, its just the roads... like Cairn o'mount was closed for snow, but ended up finding a good back road instead. Will keep it in mind though.

[Bumble]

my back sound be all good by then ... add me please!

[Forbes]

Lets hope so. Thats you added

[Fairy]

Hi, Can you please add me as a maybe (Malaysian GP is on that day though :frown:)

[ELFMAN]

Sorry guys, can't make this one - family stuff beckons... Have a good run!

[N12 JLK]

Can you put me down as a maybe please

[Forbes]

Thats you guys added!:thumbs up:

[Forbes]

Plan was to finish the recce today with Ryan but the weather and the forecast would have made it a waste of time. We will try again soon

[Forbes]

I am not going to be able to do the complete doing the recce due to Uni and work commitments. Sorry for any trouble this may have caused. I have done part of the recce so if anyone wants to take over feel free. Sorry guys but for now the event is cancelled.

Can I also add that I never realised the amount of effort and time that goes into organising a run and say a big Thank You to all the guys that have and still do organise the runs and events.

[Craig]

Ben, don't worry about it...:yes nod:

I was going to have to cancel anyway as I want to take a trip down to see mikey and couldn't have done that and your run.

Glad you appreciate the effort other organisers put in... :thumbs up::thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Sorry to hear Ben, but, at least you advised everyone in plenty of time.
One thing, i hope it doesn't put you off organising in the future?
Even for all the hard work it is very rewarding to get to the finish point knowing that everyone's arrived there safely and have had a good time.

After the first one it does get easier, like giving birth apparently :Whistle:

[stoney]

[Bumble]

aww fully understand - I've never organised a run but can imagine there's a big time commitment and your studies take priority

[Colin]

Never mind there's always next year. :thumbs up: Hope you've not been put off the idea. I did my first run last year and understand the time it takes to make it happen :yes nod:
