Bank holiday Monday - 21 April

[Neil - TXJ]

Hi

Bank holiday Monday I am home alone as kids at school and wife working and was wondering if anybody interested in a get together?

Was thinking of meeting south of Edinburgh near the ring road (UPDATED - now meeting in Peebles), drive down to Moffat for a bit of lunch (sure we could find a chippy/cafe/pub) and then back up the road.

Not sure I can call it a run as won't have chance to do a reccie or run notes!

Don't do early starts so probably meet about 10:30.

Appreciate only a few days before the evening out on the 25th so not expecting lots of responses but I will probably be doing something so happy for others to pop along.

Neil.

Neil that sounds like a cracking idea! We are supposed to be working, but we've worked a few days off recently so are due a couple of extra days, so I'll speak with Mrs P and see if we can wangle this one off.

[stoney]

Sorry we can not make this one having people round

[cuddles]

Sounds good will have to see the rest of the harpers xx

That would be good Andy - let me know

No problem Rob, appreciate late notice and Easter weekend


Sounds good will have to see the rest off the harpers xx

:thumbs up: Let me know

[RobSco]

Nice idea... :thumbs up: ...But working in retail, Bank Holidays are a thing of the past, hope all who go enjoy themselves... :yes nod:

[sam_1688]

Im off that day too and this would be better than sitting in the house :D

[DigitalLemming]

Great idea - not sure if I'm working or not yet, but if I'm off I'll be there :)

[jonnie]

Wouldnt mind meeting up in Moffat for a bite and chat, maybe follow half way back.

[Crombers]

A bank holiday :laugh: .....................



Sorry but I've totally forgotten that they exist ...................... ah well the joys of working in the supermarket transport segment :sad:

Oh aye & to respond to your invite ....................... I'll be working that day :frown:

[Neil - TXJ]

Great Sam

Hi Jonnie - will try and give you an idea of timings near the time

[d.oxley72]

I've got that day so may come up to Moffat for a meet up, depending if family commitments allow.

[EcosseGP]

Sounded like a good idea but checking my shift I'm working :(

[Neil - TXJ]

Any more takers - just me and Sam confirmed at moment and a couple of possibles to meet up in Moffat.

[Eddie_JCW]

Myself and Rachael are up for this ;)

[Neil - TXJ]

Myself and Rachael are up for this ;)

Great - where do you live so I can take into account when agreeing a meeting point

[Eddie_JCW]

Meadowbank so anywhere near the city bypass would be fine.

[Neil - TXJ]

First post updated with details.

Eddie Hope not a problem but changed start point to Peebles as both Sam and I live near Peebles so saves us driving up to Edinburgh to come straight back down again.

Appreciate not many attending so no problem if Sam or Eddie want to pull out

[mini mad andy]

Hi Trigger, would it be ok if I came along ? Eddie I could meet you about Straiton if you wanted.

Really sorry Neil, we're not going to make this. Really need to get into work at lunchtime. We have our very first Autism Friendly Screening on Monday and we need to prep for that.

Have a great day. Hope the nice weather continues for you.:thumbs up:

[cuddles]

Hi sorry we can't make this hope you all have a great day xx

Hi Neil, what time are you thinking of leaving tomorrow?

No problem Andy. See you tomorrow - 10.30 at Peebles, details in first post. If you meet Eddie at Straiton probably takes about 30 mins to Peebles.

Could you also PM me your mobile number and I will respond with mine.

Eddie had hired the Cooper for a few days.

[Eddie_JCW]

Oops missed these posts. Yes we had the F56 cooper and my thoughts are up. Did well on this run I must admit.

[EcosseGP]

Happy to do the same or very similar run later in the year. Will see if there is space between other runs. It is actually a very simple route so no need for detailed notes so easy to organise.

[Eddie_JCW]

It is a cracking run! That good I'm taking my car over it this Sunday :thumbs up:

[weefossy]

I'm sure Ian King did a great run that covered these roads and more. Think I have the run notes in my "collection", somewhere. Looks like you had a great day.
