Possible run in June

[Eddie_JCW]

Hi guys and girls, I'm going to organise my first run probably in June (date TBC). I would like your opinion on which area you'd like to see in a run.

I know a lot of good roads in the central belt, the whole of the West as well as in the Borders. I thought I'd get a feel for where you'd like to go. I'd be willing to have a run in the West because it seems a lot of our runs are in the East and I do think we're getting more and more members in the West.

I'll be getting advice from guys who have organised other runs also.

So let's have your opinions :)

Nice to see you planning a run :thumbs up:

From a purely selfish point of view a run in the west would be nice, with the exception of Stoney's run I think everything else I've been on has been more east coast based. But in saying that it's nice to get out on roads you don't know as well and see some new places so the Borders would work for me as well.

That's not very helpful is it :lol:

I think Craig did and Argyll run (might be making that up) a while ago so maybe check what roads he covered?

[Eddie_JCW]

Yeah, I'm just trying to work something out to suit the likes of yourself, Steve and David as well as others who travel through or haven't been on a run in a while because of the distance to the start.

I like the runs in the east, I don't know as many roads here which is great and it's handy for me.

Yeah I think it was an Argyll & Bute run Craig did. I've had a quick look back at previous runs and might try somewhere that hasn't been covered, previous runs are an option though (providing there's no objection to it) but I'm thinking of doing something new so as not to step on anyone's toes :)

How far 'north east' have you lot come? There are lots of decent roads round Deeside, the Cairn o mount, Lecht, Cabrach etc? You could all come up via Blairgowrie/Glenshee. You need to attend the V8 breakfast at Fennel, that can be a sight to behold.... https://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/v8breakfast?fref=ts

But wait until my MINI has delivered before you do that one! I'll defo be there!

[Eddie_JCW]

Duncan did a Deeside run in sept/oct. I love Deeside but I'm sure there will be another run up there soon ;) it's an option though.

You do a run where you want to go then post it and people will come best to do roads you know it's your choice 👍👍

Cheers Stoney I just wanted to see if anyone in the West had any area they'd like to try. I know so many good roads over that way :lol: I'm thinking possibly Trossachs or Ayrshire. I'll have a think :thumbs up:

[stoney]

That's the best idea Eddie you best just going where you enjoy driving and that way you know the roads if any one gets lost lol

Do where you want and know the roads. The only reason there has been roads through this way is beacuse Ive organised them. Most people organise a run thats local to them.

But do where you feel most comfortable

Thanks guys :) I'll have a serious think and go a wee drive at the weekend, see if I can get any ideas.

Can't, just back from the Ring the day before and going to Speedfest. Happy to meet people if they're coming, and also have a few parking spaces too (in short supply that day in Alford)

We're in Eddie. At the moment I have a few Pipe Band dates in June, but thats all. If you want your run to further afield than the roads you know, I have copies of lots of NMS runs over the years. You are more than welcome to Borrow to get a few ideas.

[Eddie_JCW]

Thanks Malcolm it's appreciated, I'll bear that in mind. :)

[Jonathan14]

Yeah I would love to come along let me know what date you are thinking so I know if I am going to be off that day :)

[Eddie_JCW]

Will do mate ;)
