[MINIme:)]

I don't think I can afford to come but I might be in Aberdeen next weekend anyway so might pitch up in Aboyne for a quick hello - few regulars faces I have yet to meet! And I'm due a trip to Glen Tanar to see my Dad :yes nod:

[rpn]

I may be able to come along for the second half of the run joining up at Ballater. Will confirm later.

Cheers

[Tam1314]

@ minime, what time would you be leaving to go to Aboyne, and from where would you be leaving. I'm in Blackburn.

[MINIme:)]

I don't know I'd prob have someone's number and get them to let me know where they were when. Then head up poss with my mum for lunch before or after seeing folk, and head up to Glen tanar after to do our visitation thing. Weather dependent / mum a maybe / ..... in short I don't know! I'm Cults area though.

[Duncan Stewart]

Anyone welcome to meet up / join the run later - more the merrier :thumbs up:

[rpn]

Any idea roughly what time you would be stopping for lunch at Ballater?

[Gismo]

Any idea roughly what time you would be stopping for lunch at Ballater?Erm, lunchtime :lol:

[MINIme:)]

Ah but one man's lunchtime is another man's not yet lunchtime or way past lunchtime......:lol:

As it's a run that's been done before and one that's been well planned out I have a feeling that Duncan will have a good answer for this one. I have faith in the man.

(Now if it was one of Liam's mystery tours, it might have ended up being teatime in Ullapool ;) )

[rpn]

Erm, lunchtime :lol:

:lol:

Lunch is serve between 12:00 - 2:30

Don't really want to sit about for two and a half hours :smilewinkgrin:

[weefossy]

Have a great run guys, apologies we can't make it as we're on holiday.

[Craig]

Enjoy !! ;)

[ELFMAN]

Have a good run folks! :thumbs up: :motoring:

:oops: Apologies Duncan and Helen :argh: Obviously forgot to post waaaaaaaaaaayyy back that I couldn't be there, then thought I had... and it slipped right off my radar :frown:

Dad's 78th Birthday on Sat 13th, so we're doing 'Dad Stuff' this weekend.

Hi

Very sorry for the late notice but will not be able to make this run as stuck in Norfolk tonight and wont be back in time tommorow.

Martin

[Mike]

Hi,

I've managed to pick up a puncture driving around in the rain today so sadly won't be able to make it tomorrow. Such a shame, was looking forward to a decent drive. Although if it's wet, rain and my budget Wanli tyres mean turning can sometimes be a bit of an issue. Have a good day, I will be there with new tyres that aren't s**t, with no holes in, for the next run.

[Craig]

Enjoy your run today guys - wish I was there. ;)

[Duncan Stewart]

Great fun out today. The new Coop felt great, so glad I bought it :smilewinkgrin:

Thanks to Ewan & Fi, Ali & Alistair, and Scott for coming along on the run today - it was like the red, white & blue mini club :thumbs up:

I love the roads up there
Our little detour due to a closed road just added to the adventure

A few Pics

That's 5 really good looking cars there, hope you all had fun, thought detours were becoming standard on these runs anyway... Can't wait til I can come on one!

[Burple]

Another cracking run Duncan!!
Some of my favourite roads up that way :cool::cool::cool::cool:

Some fun weather too! I think Glenshee was a little bit warmer than last time?? haha

Great pics, I only took a couple, I'll have to see if I can figure out how to get the panorama one off my phone and post it up.

The detour was well worth the gamble, and glad we got a decent run up the Cairn o' mount! We had a wee play with the TVR that was sitting at the Garden centre on the way home.. it was umm... a bit quick! :thumbs up::cool::D

[Coop1]

Good day out even with just the five cars. Some impressive roads and views despite the changeable weather! Out with the touch up paint for the usual unavoidable flurry of stone chips that you only seem to find up North. Many thanks for organising.... see folks again real soon.
