The Three Lothians Go-Karting Run - Update 10/08

[Wul]

LUNCH DETAILS ADDED ON PAGE 6!

RUN DIRECTIONS HERE (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/downloads/minirun.pdf)

:eek:OK OK so i am the official ghost of NMS runs, but i've been thinking about this for a wee bit and now i've finally plucked up the bottle to post it!:I:clown:

Picking up on an idea Bonnie Scotland had a wee while back, I thought i'd try and see what interest was out there?

End of September 2004 is looking quiet in the calendar just now so how about a West-Mid-East Lothian run taking in a "MINI Grand Prix" (indoors) at Raceland Go-Karting, Gladsmuir near Haddington? On Sunday 26th Septmeber? With lunch at one of the local hostelries in the area as an option.

Route is going to start from the bridges at south queensferry heading through to mid lothian and then out to the East Lothian Coastal Route and on to Raceland, then lunch and a wee tour bringing us back around to Edinburgh area.

OK the bad news the cost is £35 per head for the mini grand prix thingy (usually about 5 races guaranteed)- BUT there is a 50% deposit required up front and this is where we would need definate numbers before going ahead and payment possibly via the NMS paypal account or my own if you guys trust me that much?:I:question:
Anyways feel free to discuss this among yourselves.:D

[Steve74]

Sounds like a good idea Wul :cool:

[Burple]

Yep!!!!

For sure! Me! Me! Me! :D:D

(can you add me to the list please??) ;):cool:
- both the run and the Karting...

[Gismo]

Good man Wul, gets me out of trouble 8) please put me down for this :)

[GAJ]

Me!! Me!!

[Duncan Stewart]

Sounds good Wul. Put down Helen and I. I don't mind paying a deposit.
Seany was looking at arranging a far north run on first weekend of october but any other weekend is fine with me.

[Bazthemod]

Try and keep it away from the 24th if poss thats when im hoping a few peeps will help me out by parking their Mini's on the city square in Dundee for the Model Railway Show!:D:cool::approve:

[Heather]

count me and tribal in too. not for the carting though. will be happy just to observe that.

[Julz]

Can you put me and Rob down for both please!! Ta muchly, oh, and Wul, are you actually planning on attending this run??;):D

[phantom]

Put Alison and I down for this as well please, just the run though, thank you peeps.:D:D

[Tahra]

Hi Wul, can you put John and I down for both too please. Deposit no problem ( though I bl99dy hate PayPal,J uses it enough for Ebay so whatever suits) and not bothered about dates as Im not planning that far in advance yet.

[Willie M]

Nice one Wul :cool:
Linda and I will certainly be up for the run part and I'll be stoopid enough to put meself down for the karting too.
Deposit no problem, just let us know when you need it.

[Wul]

Thanks guys - Baz, will edit off the 24th to keep them racers at the Model Railway Show ;)
Seany - do you want me to put off the 3rd too? No probs if you do. :)

Will check the dates left when i'm there in a few weeks time and post back.

Tahra - I realise Paypal is a bit annoying at times - but thought it would be better to deal with the money this way as it save people having to write cheques etc, and if permissable the NMS account could be used for security purposes :)

This would only be for the deposit anyway - the balance is payable on the day! :)

[Linda M]

:eek: Am I seeing things :eek: Well done Wul :D I see my name is already down :cool: Will I need to bring my invisible MINI :D:p

[Wul]

[broken_brian]

[phantom]

Hi wul, Alison has become very brave and wants to have a go at the Go Karting, so can you add her down for this, let us know when you want the money. Cheers. :cool:

[Gismo]

Hi Wul, took the opportunity to put me julie's name in fro the karting :cool:

[duncan]

Run and Karting for me please!

[phantom]

Hi Wul, its just Alison for the Karting so can you take my name off, Ta very much.:)

[phantom]

Just noticed Wul you have us down for the run twice No 9 and No 14;)

[Wul]

oops -sorry about that! :I

[Wul]

Been having another wee look at the calendar - what about the last sunday in September as an option? Does this suit people better or worse?

[phantom]

Fine for me Wul thats the 26th Sept then.:D

[Gismo]

Ok for me :)

[Tahra]

Sept should be fine for us too, as is Paypal ! Guess it has to go wrong for someone and I got a bit grumpy being charged to get my own money back from them - cancelled account in huff, then had to reopen it to be refunded rant, rant , grr, but whatevers easiest for you Wul !

[Willie M]

Sept 26th fine by me.

[Duncan Stewart]

Sept 26th not suitable for Helen & I :(
Also not 17th October.

[duncan]

I'm working the 26th, but can take leave if thats the most suitable date.

[weefossy]

26th seems OK for us

[Burple]

yep...
26th is fine here!

And you can all bring my birthday pressies with you!! ;);):clown::D

heh heh heh ;)

[Wul]

Hey Guys - any chance those of you interested in this run can let me know if the 26th of September suits you - i've updated the first post for those who have replied so far.

Also Raceland have 2pm on the 26th available at present, but if we need to look at october dates we still can.

Thanks

:)

[GAJ]

Suits me!

[Wul]

[GAJ]

Ohh!

[weefossy]

[R7 ETH]

ooh ooh can i come too I live in Tranent 2 mins along the road. I want to come just to meet you all, not really bothered about the karting, so if it is ok can me and my fiancee come too.

[GAJ]

Wul, more editing required, you've missed that I'm okay for the 26th.

[Wul]

oops! Sorry GAJ :I

[KenL]

Wul,

Please put me down as a maybe. I can't commit to anything at the moment (not even a holiday with my wife) as work is busy and I am due to go to Hawaii with my work for 10 weeks. At the moment it is looking like beginning at the end of July so the date may be out for me.

Do I get to take my lardy Golf on the track :approve: On a narrow track no-one would get past due to it's big fat erse :D

Cheers,
Kenl

[weefozzy Jr]

any spaces for a another fozzy. sounds like a laugh and its on home turf so i'll go easy on u all.

[broken_brian]

yup 26th is good for me :D:D

[Julz]

26th is free for us too, I've even written this on my calender, so you better not change it!!;):D

[bazi]

Hiya Wul,

Not sure how the work rota is for September, but one of us will attend the cruise & carting.... either Mark or myself, so could you add one from Dunedin. Ta

[Duncan Stewart]

Hi Wul. If date is 26th then I will try to make it but take our names of the Karting in case we don't. Cheers

[Steve74]

Ok for the 26th!:D

[Wul]

Well done guys - thought i was gonna have to bump this thread back up onto the first page! :I

Will update the list accordingly.

To everyone else - will need to think about confirming the booking soon so get those pennies counted up! :D

Come on the West contingent - Big Col, Gordy et al; and the Dundee mob - LnL, KJ etc - where are your names then - and as for you Calum - surely you need a break from the decorating! ;)

[Burple]

[bazi]

Wul, Alison my wife is at number 14 for the go karting, can you replace her name with mine and I have paid as well. Top bloke:D. Also it will be just me for the day as well.:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Wul]

C'mon guys - we are still short of a few deposits - we are still at risk to lose the booking if we don't cough up the deposit :eek: Sorry to be a PITA.

If paypal doesn't suit then contact myself or the mods to make an alternative arrangement.

[Burple]

hiya... finally got my paypal working ;)

Can you add a +1 to the list for me please and send me another link to pay please??

ta....

[Steve74]

All paid now I discovered my PayPal ID!!

[Wul]

Cheers Steve! :)

Weefossy - is Siobhan still coming to the karting or did Frankie take her place?

[Tahra]

Hi Wul,

Emailed you back this morning - promise we'll pay tonight !

[weefossy]

Wul, think I'm cracking up!! I thought I had posted earlier with an explanation, but i must have dreamed it. I have paid deposit for Frankie, Wefozzy jnr and myself to go karting. Sioban and Claire will only be spectators. If numbers are short for karting, I could ask some of Neil's (weefozzy's) mates would join in. They are all regulars to the karting and are mini lovers. Apologies for the confusion.

[Wul]

No worries Weefossy - will change the list accordingly - cheers!

If Neils mates want to come along then thats fine - we have a minimum of 16 and maximum of 40 so we have plenty more room at the mo - that goes for anyone else too.

Thanks Tahra - will sort it for you in the morning as can't access email from home!

Thanks again everyone - that's us got enough to secure the booking now - will sort out the payment in the next day or so and then confirm it all to you with a copy of the confirmation by email.

And then it's on to the route for the run :D ant suggestions from you Edinburgh/East Lothian guys? I had an idea of starting from the Hawes carpark in South Queensferry below the Forth Bridge and heading out some of my old favourite back roads etc and off into town - ideas welcome guys.

Cheers again for the deposits :)

[Tahra]

Hi there,

was just checking for the link but hadnt read your posting first, which. If its any easier just send it to my lycos address. J's still got a Paypal account which is why Im getting him to do it - Im still not speaking to them ! Apologies again for being last, duly hanging our heads in shame.........:(:(:)

[Wul]

Tahra - can you send me an email to the link in the first post please ie the cc address as i can't access the NMS address - then i'll send you out a paypal link.

Cheers.:)

[Wul]

BOOKING NOW CONFIRMED!

Raceland, Gladsmuir, East Lothian - Sun 26 September 2004 @2pm :)

if your names not down - you can still come - theres plenty room left yet :)

[Crombers]

Can I be added for the run :cool:, fraid I cannae dae the karts :(

[Wul]

Consider it done Crombers :)

[sandman_gecko]

Hi guys, count me(+1) in for this one please will pay deposit asap.
The +1 is pauline and I think I should point out now seeing as im new to this group that our mini cooper S is in fact hers :-(

[Big Gordy]

Ahhhhhh a man with the same situation as me :p:D:approve:

[weefossy]

as Sioban keeps reminding me, "You only get to drive it,if you wash it"!
"Yes Dear".

[Wul]

Welcome aboard Sandy (& Pauline ;))

:)

[Wul]

OK Guys - contacted the Longniddry Inn regarding lunch (fine eatery :p) and they can do us a Sunday all you can eat carvery at 12.30 for £11.95 per person.

This will get you soup and a roll, choice of salad bar, carvery including 4 different types of roast, steak pie, taters and veg and a selection of desserts. There are vegetarian dishes available too.

The only available alternative to this is a greasy burger from the Karting venue.

So let me know what you think guys.

[Julz]

Now that is a really, REALLY hard decision to make!!:p That will be me & Rob for the carvery please!!:D

[R7 ETH]

I went there last month and OMG the portions are huge for set meals !!! Cant wait for the buffet.

[Gismo]

Erm, not sure CARVERY

[Steve74]

Wherever everybody else wants to eat is fine by me :D

[Heather]

Cavery..GOOD. Salmonella burger....no thanks!:dead::D

[Tahra]

Sounds fine and probably much easier if its a set price.....being a veggie of 18 years plus Ive learned not to be too fussy about food as long as I get something !:approve:

[Duncan Stewart]

Longniddry Inn sounds good to me :D

[Willie M]

Go!!! Longniddry :cool:

[R7 ETH]

<wipes the saliva from his chin>

Can we go now ? can we can we ?

[GAJ]

Carvery please!

[phantom]

Me too!:D

[weefossy]

Wul, as an alternative, could I suggest the Indian Restaurant in North Berwick, who can do us an "eat as much as you can" buffett for £8.95. Might be too "spicey" before Go Kart racing! No jokes about "turbo chargers".

Through local contacts we might also be able to get special parking at the harbour, near to the Seabird Centre, while we eat? Only an idea, Sioban and I would be happy at the Longniddry Inn.

[Burple]

Carvery's all good for us too!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm <drools>....carvery....... :p:D

[Eggy7496]

is there a planned route and times to start and finish? any minis from aberdeen going?

Cheers for the option Weefossy - one wee prob though!

The kartin is at 2pm and lunch aiming for 12.30 - North berwick is on the run route but a ruby at 11.30 might be a tad early. good fall back though!:)

Yup...the roadworks are on at the weekends and overnight!
They put the cones out in the evening then take them away in the morning during the week... but they're left there at the weekend!
We did this on Saturday about 7.30pm, and the queue was about 20 mins (not the 40 signposted) - but we sneaked down thru Inverkeithing from the Junction before ;):p
Fraid I won't be joining you from Dundee! I'll be having a Long Lie in Musselburgh!! :D:D:D:p

[Wul]

Ok - so that's the reccy done - barring a blown over tree leading to me clashing wing mirrors with a Mk 3 golf :blackeye: it all wen't fine - A few alterations to the run but should have the directions ready for tuesday guys.

Like the design of the mini wing mirror though - the glass popped right out the mounting and didn't smash so simply popped it back on - will need to polish out the scuff on the casing though (where's me meguiars:p) Unlike the golfs wing mirror which smashed :clown:.

Just checking. I take it the Hawes Car Park is the one at the East end of S.Q. next to the Hawes Inn Wul?

I'm going to be out of the office for the next 3 days (away from PC) but I'll see y'all on Sunday :cool: I've got a note of your mobile number just in case Wul :)

[Gismo]

Maybe!;)

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Wrong side of the Firth of Forth Alan!!

To confirm - the start point is in the Hawes Car Park, SOUTH Queensferry at 09.30 am sharp!

HERE (http://www.yell.com/search/ShowMap?nat_id=2913010&location=SOUTH+QUEENSFERRY&replayURL=%2Fucs%2FUcsSearchAction.do%3FsearchType %3Dclassic%26companyName%3Dhawes%2BInn%26location% 3Dsouth%2Bqueensferry%26scrambleSeed%3D14966%26mqs %3Dx)

so that means everyone north of the Forth Road bridge will need to come across it and negotiate the roadworks before the start of the run.

Hope this helps :)

Looks like we'll need to leave Dundee at 7.45 sharp then :I thankfully the sat nav should get me there then ;)

[Wul]

Correct Steve - under the Forth Bridge.

Directions to Hawes Car Park: From A90 turn off for South Queensferry/A8000, pass SHELL GARAGE!!! come to roundabout at Tesco/Burger King/Frankie & Bennies, turn left into South Queensferry, follow road to bottom of steep hill (the loan) and turn right along the High Street, follow road to Hawes Car Park. :) If in doubt keep heading towards this large red metal structure thats 100+ years old and has lots of scaffolding on it!! :p

Bonnie - not sure how long it's taking to get accross the bridge at that time of the morning? maybe we'll get lucky and they'll cancel them like they did last weekend!

:)

[Eggy7496]

Not sure how many are meeting at KFC, just us i think, but, we need to leave at 7.45, just in case the road works are on

[Wul]

OK - for further clarity guys - heres a piccy of the route - the green highlight area is the route :)

That's the one, also, i'll most likely turn up at 7.40 and then we'll just head off, so, 7.30 for you is more than enough

[Eggy7496]

ok cheers see u then

[sandman_gecko]

Wul could you please mark me "sandman_gecko", Pauline and "one other" for the carvery please if its not too late.
The "one other" is a mate of mine called Roscoe who will be joining us for the run, carvery and karting.
is it ok if roscoe pays for his karting on the day at the venue?

[Wul]

sure is sandman - will sort it out for you. :)

[Gismo]

Wul, is there an age limit on the go karting?? can me julie's son take part, he's 11 years young, i'm thinking he's just too young, no worries either way

[broken_brian]

just to let you know that i will still be coming but i will not be in the mini i will be in this http://www.mini2.com/gallery/personal/picture44587.html :evil:

so be nice and dont drive too fast on the run before the karting thats if im still allowed that is :clown::p

[Gismo]

Shame that big blue thing got in the way of the piccie ;)

[Wul]

MMMM - nice motor! :p

Bonnie - unfortunately the age limit is 16years young for the mini grand prix (http://www.raceland.co.uk/heat_racing.html#heatracing1stitem) but they do offer cadet karts - maybe if you phone up they could arrange something either before or after for him?

[Wul]

unless of course he could pass for a 16 year old? ;)

[Gismo]

No chance, although he's almost as big as me :eek::I he won't pass as 16, sometimes i'm asked for proof of age etc :p:D
I sent an e-mail requesting any info of things he can do whilst us adults are having fun, hopefully he can do something more than just watch

Thangyooverrmush.... I'll be here all week.. :approve:

[Eggy7496]

bonnie, do you know roughly how long it takes when arriving from the abs side into dundee up to the KFC? or anyone else know? as i am not sure if there is busy traffic or anything ( i can count the number of times i have been in dundee on one hand, lol)

[Gismo]

It should take approx 1 hour and 10 mins from the brig o dee to the KFC at a constant 75 mph ;) adjust accordingly for your intended speed :cool:

[Eggy7496]

cheers pal, right away to investigate a way of directions through dundee to KFC, dont worry though as i'l make sure im there on time, not letting you guys down.

[Wul]

Eggy - use www.yell.com - look up the KFC in Dundee then enter your postcode and it'll give you directions and maps! :)

Alan - you'd better bring your ID on sunday too then - incase they won't let you on the karts too! :p

[Eggy7496]

lol, cheers Wul. Im getting excited already!!

[Wul]

REMINDER!

OK guys - a few things for sunday:

1. Kick off is 09.30am sharp(ish) from Hawes Car Park, SOUTH Queensferry - see previous page for directions.

2. The Lunch stop is at 12.30 in the Longniddry Inn:p

3. The Go-karting is at 2pm at Raceland, Gladsmuir and should last 2-3 hours - remember to wear suitable attire and shoes - you are supplied with a helmet, gloves and race suit - WillieM - your pimpmeister platforms might be a bit unwielding to wear in the go-karts:p:evil:

4. The Bad News - all of you who have paid the deposit via paypal still have £17.50 to pay at the event. Sh@z, Eggy & Roscoe unfortunately have the full £35 to pay :(

Yours blah blah blah

The Management :)

Close, but not quite...
When you get into Dundee, turn right onto the A92 (towards Perth) and head along to THIS (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=337500&Y=732500&gride=&gridn=&scale=10000&coordsys=gb&db=&lang=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&localinfosel=&local=&kw=&srec=0&mapsize=big&db=&rt=)
junction and take the north exit road to Coupar Angus road (A923), take the first left off of it at
the wee roundabout, and head into the Leisure park where the 'Outside Inn' is.. Here it is Closer (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=337500&Y=732500&width=700&height=400&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&scale=10000&multimap.x=222&multimap.y=142)

I could complicate it slightly, if you stop at the Brechin Castle centre, just off the A90 i could meet you there and then we could convoy all the way to Perth (meet with Julz) and beyond :)

[Eggy7496]

will that be easier? feelin a bit paniced now, lol. can you give some instructions? please please lol

[Julz]

Well folks, seeing as I go home in 25 minutes, and I'm unlikely to be back online this weekend, I shall see you all bright and early on sunday!!:sleepy::clown:

[Eggy7496]

Yep, we leave the Dundee KFC, beside McDonalds and the UGC Cinema at 7.45, we have roadworks to negaotiate at the forth road bridge that may or may not hold us up.

[Eggy7496]

Yes Sir!:D:D:D:D:D

[Wul]

Alan - it's simple - as you come over the bridge, take the left off-slip for A8000/ South Queensferry, up to roundabout, turn left (Shell garage on left with optimax for fuel stop) then left at next roundabout into SQ. Follow road to bottom of steep hill turn right onto SQ High Street and follow road right along to Hawes Car park and bingo :) any probs my mobile is listed on the run directions. :D

[Gismo]

Cheers Wul :)

[Eggy7496]

Thanks for a great run Wul and congrats to Eric for superb racing. Put all these "old" guys to shame.;);) Glad I hid in the corner; not Niel's corner, as it was too dangerous.
Just to prove the run did get to North Berwick, attached is a picture of "Black Betty" at the seaside.

[GAJ]

Well done Wul. Excellent run and good scran! The karting was a really good laugh despite my obvious lack of driving ability! Congratulations Eric! But was it worth the 4 am start? Nice to see all the new faces and good to meet up with the old ones; Willie are those hand signals in the Highway Code?;)

[Wul]

Cheers guys! glad you enjoyed yourselves. It's a pity we ran out of time to go along the coastal road to North Berwick - maybe another time.

Well done to Eric too - he might be home by tomorrow! 160 miles to get to the start of the run!:eek: and the bridge roadworks to put up with on the way home!! :(

Never managed to take many photos so look forward to seeing all you guys piccies :)

Due to people not making it and others not taking their change we have £70 to contribute to NMS as a donation from the event :D

Nope you well and truely lost us! Got home about 8.30!! Took wrong turning and ended up back in A8000 queue, about turned once again and got it right that time. :cool:

[sleepyrascal]

Wish I wasn't working on Sunday :0(

Have fun folks!!!!!

[Willie M]

Big thank you, and well done, to Wul for organising a fantastic day out. Great wee run, lovely lunch and the karting was an absolute blast.

Well done Eric, Andrew (ringer ;)) and Broken Brian (Donnie Darko) for scooping the honours. I'm sure if Brian, then latterly Rob, hadn't taken me out in a couple of the heats I may have been able to put in a better challenge :D Maximum respect to Low n' Loud for being so sporting during our epic encounter on the track :cool:

Oh, and Gaj. I'm sure you'll find those hand signals in the Highway Code (Bonnybridge regional edition). Not too sure if the ones young Neil (Weefossy jnr) was using on the track have been published yet though ;) He'd make a great stand-in for Gareth Hunt in the Nescafe adverts methinks :clown:

Great to see Calum bringing wee Liam along to the start for his first Mini adventure. Mind you, he didn't seem too excited by it all :sleepy: Zzzzzzzz......

Oh my word, we were home before you, and that was after we took the scenic route along the coast to Flicks house for a cuppa!!;) We got as far as the roundabout at the end of the bypass and decided to about turn and go via the Kincardine Bridge, only took an hour and a bit from there!

ANYWAY, cheers Wul for a fantastic day, although I am a wee bit sore this morning, but I think that was after having to hold on for dear life as Neil collided into the side of me at high speed:mad:;)
Well done Eggy for a fantastic win, although I'm still a bit miffed they let the guy that works there race in the final, did he pay????:dead:

Until next time folks (checks wallchart and sees it's the Blackpool run in 5 weeks!!:D);)

Fabulous run Wul! Great to be a passenger for a change (GAJ is a driving GOD! I apologise for driving his wee baby like a total girl racer on the way back to Edinburgh!!) (tried to kill me twice and then moderates me:evil:;)) Karting was great fun even if i was only spectating. Neils ballet moves on the top corner were class as were brians cute ickle ears zooming round the track. Top grub spot too! Thanks:D

[Duncan Stewart]

Glad everyone enjoyed the day and p*ssed off that I missed it! :dead: , just back from 2 weeks holiday (so should not complain :cool:) but had to get sorted out for my return to work today :(

Yup Wul hats off to you sir , great day out.:D The look on the faces of the folks on the tandems make these days even better.:D Arm was flippin agony on Monday but what the heck.

Great photos Angus.
