Perthshire Run - Sunday 3rd July.

[Duncan Stewart]

With Craig being unfortunately not able to arrange his runs this year I thought I would offer to do a Perthshire run.
Most of the run is the same route as Craig uses, but the start will be Perth, and the end Dundee

Start is now confirmed as Broxden Services, Perth, PH2 0PX (where Craigs Perthshire pleasure runs have finished)
Gather at 10:30 for departure by 11am
End will be at Dundee in the CineWorld cinema car park, near Camperdown park. Just of the main A90 dual carriageway

The route is via Glen Devon / Gleneagles to Crieff for Lunch at the Drovers restaurant at the Crieff visitors center, then as Craigs Perthshire pleasure runs (Kenmore, Tummel Bridge, Pitlochry, Blairgowrie), then Blairgowie to Dundee via Meigle

Run notes (http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/dstewart1967/pdf/Perthshire%20Run%202011.pdf) available now
Please print a copy if you can but I will bring a few spares along

4. Neil (Trigger)
5. Gillianmcd
6. Ben aka forbes.

I'll recce this with you Duncan, let me know when you want to.:thumbs up:

[Duncan Stewart]

Maybe swapped T for Super T :yes nod:

[Stewart]

Is that run I missed last year that runs around crieff ? how does Dundee come into it? :confused:

If its more or less the same put me down had to check there but I'll be back in Scotland for it. :thumbs up:

[Crombers]

Well done Duncan for picking up the baton, magically I've got a 'bit of a date' the day before so might/will be a tad busy the following morning ;)

I see. cool. Be good to catch up.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Us too Duncan. That date may be tricky but stick us down for now anyway.

[ELFMAN]

Duncan - 'Maybe' again on this one - sorting out Annual Leave/Hols for June.

[N16SHP]

Stick me down for this one Duncan. Absolutely loved this run last year, the single track up the hill and the steep decent down the otherside was just magical!!

If your needing somewhere to crash instead of driving back to Aberdeen let me know Neil.

[Minimynx]

Can you please add me & co-pilot for this one too, thanks.

Was looking for last year's thread, was it the one in September?

[Neil - TXJ]

Put me down as well please but will need to confirm nearer the time.

Cheers

Neil

Lunch stop is at Crieff - for full run notes take a look at the thread for the "Perthshire Pleasure (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?19478-Perthshire-Pleasure-IV-Sunday-19th-September-2010)" last year
At the end of previous runs we have done Blairgowrie to Perth, I just thought Blairgowrie to Dundee instead would let us try some different roads

No probs mate. All being well the guest room will be ready by then;)

[GCA3N]

Well I guess who knows what will happen, work called shift change on hold indefinitely so away offshore now for both runs. Really disappointed. :(

Gutted Craig I was really looking forward to this run.

[Duncan Stewart]

Could move to next weekend - 3rd July
The main reason for the June date was to try and avoid busy roads with school holidays but looks like schools in some areas break off in June anyway.

Could people still make it if it was 3rd July?

I'm away on hols then, but I wont have my MINI by then, so don't worry about me... ;)

[Stewart]

Fine here with the 3rd.

[AndyP & Lenore]

We will not be able to make it on the 3rd July as the Cinema will probably be busy and our Assistant is usually on holiday.:sad:

[Duncan Stewart]

POSSIBLE DATE CHANGE TO 3rd July
If you've got you name down could you please let me know if you can make the 3rd so I can confirm the date.
I will keep list on first page updated with who can change

Thanks

I'll still be kinda busy, with 'her indoors' somewhere 'hot' by then me knows :cool:

This is arguably one if the best runs on the NMS calendar & if you ain't been on one I would strongly recommend :thumbs up:

[Minimynx]

I can do either, don't generally plan things that far in advance!

[Neil - TXJ]

Date doesn't make much difference to me. Will need to confirm nearer the time either way.

Neil

[N16SHP]

Either is fine with me Duncan!! My fixtures for my American Football have not been put out yet so at the moment i'm good either way!

[blueworks]

Billy and Jean (maybe)

[D3 JDA]

26th or the 3rd ok for us Duncan.:thumbs up:

[Duncan Stewart]

Thanks for the reply David

As most replies are in it looks like a change to the 3rd is best so will do this soon as I work out how to change the thread title :confused:

Sorry you can't make it Craig & Andy but as you were just maybes thought the change suited most best

[Duncan Stewart]

Thread title changed
Thanks Greig :thumbs up:

Thanks guys! I'm new to Edinburgh & finding it hard to make new friends outside work & someone suggested joining a car club as I love my car (even though I don't know that much about cars in general!) So I'm hoping I won't be too shy to come along by myself! :)

Duncan give me a shout when you think we can do a recce mate. Home a week on thursday for 2 weeks , then home on the 19th may for 4 weeks.

[Duncan Stewart]

Still got the notes to finish. Did the new Blairgowie - Dundee section today on the way home from a family visit.
Got stuff on the next few weekends but will be incorporating doing the new Perth - Crieff section as part of something else we are doing, so notes will be ready by May

Seem to have stuff on most weekends so probably do a full recce of the route on a weekday in late May.

[Duncan Stewart]

First post updated with start & finish details.
Got different bits sussed out (despite a closed road :ragin:)

Will assemble run notes out of mine & Craigs then will be doing a full recce to check them out - should be fun :smilewinkgrin:

Duncan, can you sadly take me off the list. I am in Inverness the night before, and was gonna get up early and drive down to Perth, but the logistics and fuel prices mean that for a wee thrill it's gonna cost a heck of a lot :(

Hi Duncan, just about back to the land of the living after my operation a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I'm a 'No Go' for tomorrow as I'm still full of antibiotics for a post-op infection which left bits of me looking like a scene from 'Reservoir Dogs'...

Have a good one everybody, and I hope to see some of you in the not too distant future. Feels as if I've been out of the loop for AGES.

Amazing run folks and thanks to all that attended it and made it an absolute cracker. Roads were simply amazing, little traffic and weather that was just perfection. Huge thanks to Duncan for organising the whole day, couldn't have been better mate. Pace was ok a bit slow in parts ;) seriously though had a brilliant day out, pics and videos to follow.

Good to see some new comers too hope you folks enjoyed it as much as the seasoned amongst us.

Oh yeh well done for keeping up Baz.....well just about anyway :D

Fantastic run today Duncan well done and thanks for taking this run onboard. Fantastic weather, fantastic cars and great bunch of people. Having a smaller crowd was actually much better.

Thanks to Ewan for the ice cream haha!

Good to see the usual faces and some new ones!

Greig I'v told you sport button wasny even on! ;) Even Ben wasn't that slow today on the hills lol!

I have to also say well done to Kim for her acrobatic photography lol you should really get paid danger money!

Pics to follow, on facebook already for those who have me.

This really made up my mind that i'm sticking with the MINI brand.

[Duncan Stewart]

Thanks to everyone who attended. What a fantastic day out :cool:
I had great fun leading the run, and we were so lucky with the weather and light traffic.

Another great run, thanks Duncan. Forgot my camera so just a few picks from my phone.

Looks like another excellent NMS run :thumbs up:
Stunning scenery and i don't miss it one bit, nope, no way :Whistle:
Quote of the day goes to Baz, good decision mate :motoring:

[Duncan Stewart]

Great photos everyone :thumbs up: Glad you all enjoyed the run :D

[silver spirit]

Great Photos everyone . Good to see you all had a great day out :-))

[ELFMAN]

Looks like a great day - excellent diversity in the car line-up too! :cool::thumbs up:

Duncan, did anyone from Peter Vardy make it?

[Flash_Amber]

Glad you all had a good run, wish I could have been there

[Duncan Stewart]

Duncan, did anyone from Peter Vardy make it?

I e-mailed them but got no response

[Stewart]

Dear Jim I’ll fix it, I keep gong on mini runs but find myself only seeing one other Mini. Can you fix it for me to have new brakes, new suspension, new engine, oh sod it get me a Works or your off the Christmas card list!!!!!!!!!!

In saying that he’d have to fix my driving style as well…..:smilewinkgrin:
http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq72/sav112g/Perthshire-Run2.jpg

Just back on the PC there, Great Pic’s and kudos to Kim and Baz for the pic’s that were great on the move especially Kims one with the land rover parked with the Minis flying by.

The actual Video’s look like the pace was not as fast as I had thought. Us at the back were probably faster on parts trying to catch up with more open roads, well that’s the story I’m sticking with:thumbs up:. Special thanks to the lady in the Silver Matiz, I don’t know how many miles (thankfully on the Road at the Queens view) and that average speed of 24 Mph pushing it to the max and then that late non signalled turn to head on the road south that got the response it deserved from my running partner in the Green Mini. :frown:

Great to meet a few new people and see the cars and take in some new stunning roads. Honestly Glen Quaichover to loch Tay that ranks up there with the best Mini road I’ve been on. How it works with no passing places…..Great roads when like yesterday mostly dead or was that just Ben had been down the road first!

Stewart you are a riot mate i laughed so hard at your initial paragraph, and then the picture with the empty road.

[EcosseGP]

Cracking photos troops just sorry I couldn't make it & meet a few of you but not through choice doctors orders ..

[Stewart]

“Greig”
In fairness I caught up with Colin and Wendy two minutes after that pic, I’d slowed as the old Sat Nav decided it did not like the Glen Road – “Sorry the computer says no!”:computer: after I had put in the wrong road:blush: ( the next turn on Tyre) and I had to shift it on to the picnic site…..Great when they work, leaves you up the creak when you program it like an arse. Who need run Notes;)

A GP would have rounded off the Group as well, shame you missed it MiniGP.

[gillianmcd]

I'm loving all these pictures! They're awesome! :D

[Colin]

Great pics folks. Shame I couldn't make it this year...

[SuperCooperS]

Hey everyone shame I couldnt make it to this run to meet everyone.. weather looked awesome and the cars looked great.. fab scenery..ive been at home in Northern Ireland driving about the North Antrim Coast in smashing weather and sight seeing with a friend from Scotland..back to Aberdeen on Friday though.. think I recognise maybe one or two of the motors from Aberdeen.. the Antrim coast here at home is a great driving road, and views are great.. might be an option to get a crowd of folk over in the ferry and do a few routes here with camping or cheap guest house up the north coast next summer..

[GCA3N]

Well done to Duncan and Helen! Another excellent run! One of the quicker ones we've been on recently too :D excellent choice of roads.. love the wee single track one over to Kenmore :cool:

Extra thumbs up to 'Stunt-Kim'! :thumbs up: Good effort!! :laugh::laugh:

And the noise of a supercharged and 3 turbo'd Works cars taking off from some of those junctions... wow!:cool: POP! POP! POP! :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:
We got some pics.. but they're identical to everybody elses!! haha

[GCA3N]

Cheers Euan. Your right the noises were amazing, don't forget the scraping noise too ;)

Kim done well so she did, she is sore today though :lol:

[gillianmcd]

the Antrim coast here at home is a great driving road, and views are great.. might be an option to get a crowd of folk over in the ferry and do a few routes here with camping or cheap guest house up the north coast next summer..

Sounds like an awesome plan! :D Would definitely be up for a weekend in Northern Ireland!

As said nice to meet you Bob and your other half on the run, always nice to see (respectfully :thumbs up:) a Bonkers Cooper. That little bit different that makes these runs great. I always stand by that on all the Mini runs the Company, Roads, and cars have always been good fun to meet, drive and see.
