25th May - Bank Holiday Monday

[Neil - TXJ]

Hi

25th May is a rare day when I am not working but my boys and wife are at school / work.

I am therefore arranging a run - will start south of Edinburgh at about 10:30 and be a similar route to one I did last year.

We would have been up for this Neil, but I'm pretty sure we have a senior member of staff off that day. I'll check when I get in to work tomorrow and let you know.

I've made it a sticky for you.:thumbs up:

Andrew / William - that only leaves us and considering there is a run the weekend before may try and re-arrange for later in year. Is that ok with you.

[MINI William]

No problem Neil

[DigitalLemming]

Not a problem Neil let us know what you decide :thumbs up:

[Neil - TXJ]

Ok, let's try this again for one last time and will see what interest is.

Anybody else interested? Eddie do you think you will be able to make it.

William - kept you on the list for now.

Cheers.

Put me to shame - just not had chance to clean mine - too much running around after the kids[emoji1]

See you all tomorrow. I will get to the car park for about 10:15.

[badwolf340]

See you then Neil

[Craig]

Have fun all you people off tomorrow on the run. I'll think of you hooning around the countryside whilst I'm working. Plenty photos mind :).

[BushbyBobolink]

I'm working too :( pity, since my mini is raring to go 😎

[AndyP & Lenore]

Have fun tomorrow guys. We'll be thinking about you while we're sat in hospital clinics waiting to see our respective surgeons. On balance, we'd rather be on the run but Lenore's got a follow up to her thyroid surgery and I have my first appointment to see about my knee. #joy #not #hashtagsdon'tworkonNMS

[EcosseGP]

Have a cracking day to all those on the run. Work for me too or I'd be there. :)

Another great run! Thanks for organising it Neil :thumbs up: great choice of roads!

[MINI William]

That's me just home. A huge thank you to Neil for today for a cracking run taking in some fantastic roads. It's given Andrew ideas for his own run :yes nod:

Also a huge thanks to Andrew for chauffeuring me around today hugely appreciate it. It was only at the end I realised that I could also have kept eddie company

[Eddie_JCW]

Don't worry it's noted William!! :lol: I was quite happy just having pops, bangs, and the odd baa lol mind you I was scared that I was going to get a massive cow in my front seat but thankfully it just walked past.

[badwolf340]

As others have said great day out and some cracking roads ,got a bit worried with all the cows ��

[DigitalLemming]

Great run Neil, really enjoyed that today, nice not to meet a car coming up the way at Talla this time as well :)

No problem at all William, nice to have a bit of company on a run, looking forward to seeing the photos you took while hanging out my window as well :thumbs up:


You mention one thing about the roads being nice, and look theres a good lunch spot and suddenly your planning a run! :motoring:

[Neil - TXJ]

Thanks to everybody that came today. Thought route worked well, just a bit of work needed to make the Lockerbie to Moffat stretch a bit more interesting and could probably have done without seeing some of the wildlife quite so close up - particularly the suicidal sheep. Glad your brakes are better than mine Ali!

Didn't take many photos but a few below:-

Mmm, methinks you saved the better weather for this run though.
