Glencoe Run - Sunday 17th May 2015

[Craig]

OK folks, going to recce this run this weekend and looking for names. This run is being put together for NMS and our friends from the GPUKOC. It will be based loosely on the Argyll and Byte Runs of the past.

The run will start at Stirling Services (J9 of M9) and finish at the Premier Inn in Larbert (FK5 4EG). This hotel will be the recommended hotel for GPUKOC. The total length of the run is going to be about 220 miles, mostly on A roads. I'm going to look at other options to see if I can reduce it a bit. It will be a full day.

Lunch will be in Oban at a place of your choosing.

Meet at the start point from 0900hrs for a 0930hrs leave so we have enough time to get to Oban for lunch time :)

She wants to see The Kelpies and some other sights up your end of the village so we'll both have a great few days.
I've told Paul that if it is 10% as good as the H.B.T. it'll be awesome.

Looks like a great day out fella, unfortunately I'll be in Dublin that weekend with the footy crew.

I mean it'll be no jolly, having to reacquaint myself with that Guinness stuff. It'll be a struggle but I'll soldier on :beer:

What way are you going up to Oban? Through Callander or up through Crieff and Comrie way?

[ELFMAN]

Craig, I'd have loved to have done this but Dad's getting out of hospital tomorrow (just over a year after he was admitted!), so until I know how things are going to work out I sadly can't commit to anything. It'll be a FAB run though!

[Craig]

Went up via Callander Ian, about to return via Comrie... :)

[ELFMAN]

Craig, just a wee update: was hoping if I couldn't make the run that I'd at least try to get up to Stirling Services to see you off, but don't think I'll even manage that. Start time clashes with me getting Dad's brekky etc sorted and his care workers arriving at 9.30am, so looks like I won't make it after all.

Gutted to be missing this run, as has been mentioned, it's like a wee 'encore' to the Heartbeat Tour, and that was such a blast that G3 ELF and I are still having withdrawal symptoms... If I manage to figure a way, I'll nip up to Stirling, but if not, I hope all the runners have a great day out on those fab roads surrounded by that beautiful scenery. Can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday.

[Craig]

No bother wee man - I hope the old man is doing well all things considered..... :)

If things work out and you can meet us, that would be great... You could meet us up at the Green Welly ;)

I've only got all mi clothes to iron, all the gadgets to charge up, 1499 to get fettled, get some "real" money from the bank, oil, water and tyres to check, get mi hair cut and have a shower.

I may just make it to meet up with you all at the finishing point on Sunday......

...enjoy the journey.

Looking forward to the weekend, will be a great run if only the weather would sort itself out!

Safe trip up the road folks :thumbs up:

Davy - you've got the border guards on lookout for this lot invading don't you ;)

[EcosseGP]

Border guards have been contacted along with passport control ... hopefully they'll prevent any invasion that's planned ! If not I've the lads on standby at the office ...

[CiderFex]

They'll never get me allive !!
I'm now flying up from Robin Hood airport to bypass the road blocks and I've dismantled 1499 and got the bits in mi suitcase.
I'll go straight round to the Big Fella's house to put it back together wi one o' his hammers.

Lol - mind and pay the boss (aka my mum) for the use of the hammers :)

With Monopoly or "real" money ??

Well, after deciding to gi 1499 a "quick wash", it's first since the HBT, I've just finished it after 6 hours.
Will I be peed off if it gets manky ?
Hell no, I know it's clean a the mo and driving up t'North and meeting some of you again will be worth every blob of muck and every single stone chip that it acquires.

To all the runners and riders for tomorrow's Glencoe Run.

We will be leaving the Stirling Services (J9 of the M9) at 09:30hrs sharp - please arrive anytime from 09:00hrs onwards for a chat before we leave.

Also, those with an R53 GP or S, please arrive with a full tank of fuel as your gonna use between half and 3/4 tank of fuel.

Safe journey to the start point, and I'll see you all in the morning. Regardless of what the Scottish Weather will thro at us, we will still have a great day out ;)

[Ianstwt_r59]

Sadly I won't be coming the whole run tomorrow got my grandads 75th meal. But il be still come down to Stirling services to meet everyone and get my stickers off William. Then follow use up to the green welly. Then il just head home.

Hope you all have a great run tomorrow, wish I could be there but just unable to sort things out time-wise. Say hello to those fab roads and the countryside for me. Drive safely y'hear, the scenery is wonderful, but you have to stay out of it!

Look forward to lots of photos.

That's a shame Euan, would have been good to catch up. Speak soon :)

Cheers Craig, tried to think of a way I could work around the Care Workers visits etc, but they arrive at 9.30am, so by the time everything's sorted and I'd got to Stirling, you'd all be long gone! Thought about trying to meet up later, but I'd have to be home to make the lunch, so I'd probably meet myself coming back when I was on my way up!

Will catch up with y'all sometime. Enjoy the run.

Great day really enjoyed the drive thanks Craig

[EcosseGP]

Well firstly a massive thanks to the big fella for all his hard work in making the run another success ... thank you. Secondly a massive thanks to all the GPUKOC members that made such an effort to attend not just the run but to make a weekend of it. From the minute you arrived to the minute that you left I can sincerely say that I had a ball, thank you. It was great to meet some of the newer members in both clubs and of course spend time with the "usual suspects" .. it's weekend like this that make it even harder to go back to work when you have to.
In short Friday saw the arrival of T and Pete along with John and Gaynor at the Premier Inn and after a few sherbets in the pub a few of us headed down to the local Indian for a spot of dinner where we were met by John another new local GP owner. After a spot of dinner we raced back to the pub to meet up with Brian and William to discuss the weekends events. Needless to say a few of us made sure the bar staff managed to get everyone out, the place sorted for breakfast and locked up before we headed to bed.
Saturday saw a bit of a long lie in for some ... before heading to Knockhill for the Colin McCrae 30th anniversary weekend. To say it was cold and windy was an understatement but for some it was an opportunity to get the cameras out and of course grab a bit of practice. Whilst up[ at the circuit news circulated that Daz and Kate appeared to be heading north in their GP and Facebook was followed with great fascination to see if they were going to make a "surprise visit". After an afternoon at the track T and Paul headed back to the Saltire Detailing base to give the cars a quick spruce up for the run on Sunday before we all met again in the bar a short time later along with the Harpers, Megan and our surprise guests. Another evening of stories accompanied by a G&T or two saw the night again draw to a close as T, Pete, John and Gaynor and I made sure the bar was indeed closed for business !! Everyone headed to bed and kept their fingers crossed Sunday would be a dry day.
Sunday morning I was awake bright and early as usual when the MINI is involved and after a quick chat with William it was time to meet the gang for the run. As we headed over to the starting point it never ceases to amaze me that a line of MINIs in the rear view mirror always brings a massive smile to my face. Not too sure about leading the convoy though as its too much responsibility for me ... anyway the rest is history as we say for those that made the run, thank you all for making it such a great day not just for NMS members but for those that travelled literally a thousand miles to join in the fun you are a credit to the club. Yes there were a couple of noteworthy moments along the way (as always) but I think that all the smiling faces and laughter in the car park at the end of the run said it all.
Thanks to John for a couple of sneaky photo's in Doune, excellent work but you really need to get that wee MINI involved one day and join us for the day ...
Once again thank you all for a great weekend and run and i'll get a few photo's up when i get a chance.
Roll on the next event ... when the MINI family can get back together for more fun a beer or two.
Hope everyone that travelled a distance made it home without incident ... speaking of which I better check to see how the big fella is doing today :thumbs up:

Great photos, looks like a great run in spite of the changeable weather

[CiderFex]

The Invasion II.
Well, how can I put into words what my feelings and thoughts are about The Invasion II.
It's gonna be very hard but here goes:
It all started at 12:15 on Thursday as I shot off to get mi hair cut, fill up wi Nitro+ and then back home to do a shed load of ironing, packing and get 1499 ready for a wee trip up t'North.
The ironing and packing was completely ignored as my quick foam, wash and dry of Redward turned into a 6 hour cleaning session with me still sat outside at 22:00 giving the wheels a wipe o'er wi some Speed Wipe.
The now customary texts between myself and Davy the night before a run/show hinted at the excitement that we both had for the few days ahead.
Bed at about 23:00 was preceded with the alarm being set for 04:00 !!
Alarm kicked in and the ironing and packing frenzy began in earnest.
As usual the 06:00 depature time went by as the endless FB posts needed to be replied to.
07:00 and I'm off.
A steady run up the A1, A66 and M74 was only interrupted by a wee wee and coffee break at Happendon Services which I just happened upon.
A quick check in on FB and Rob said that I should nip in and see Christine which sadly never happend due to due unforseen circumstances.
I left and headed towards the Falkirk Wheel for a bit of touristy stuff.
The Wheel was a bit of a disappointment for me but the I was now off to see The Kelpies.
The phone had died and just would not charge up so I was flying completely blind but after looking at a few maps at work I knew roughly where I needed to go.
Result, out of The Wheel and the AA had signposted my way to The Kelpies.
As I drove I passed a Shell garage which was a welcome drink for Redward and next on the list was a supermarket for some "important supplies" oh O.K. I needed some hairspray. I saw Paul's GP2 parked up in Tesco's but after a 15 minute wait there was no sign of him and Christina so a few cheeky "just spotted" pics were taken and I was off to The Kelpies.
The sculptures which are The Kelpies are a must see you are ever up near Falkirk.
I'll let the pictures explain what they look like as my words will never do them justice.
I now had to find the hotel wi no map or satnav. I just headed for Larbert and hoped for the best. After only the one wrong turn I saw a sign for Stirling Police and thought they could tell me where I needed to go. No need as I headed for the hotel I saw it on my left hand side and headed in to check in and see what the plan was for the evenings entertainment.
Result as the first pint went down very well, about 16:00 I think, and myself the usual suspects of Davy and Craig with the addition of T, John, Gaynor, John, Brian Christina, Willam & Megan made the evenings entertainment that more enjoyable.
A wee break from the pub as we went for an Indian, it was simply gorgeous, even though the waiter was unsure what I was ordering the chef nailed it to perfection, and it was back off to carry on drinking until we were kicked out.
Off to bed and the phone was ressurected so all was good.
Awake about 07:20 and a steady few hours as I awaited the arrival of the others for a trip up to Knockhill for the Colin McRae Day.
Laughs from start to finish, as always, as we all stood a various points on the circuit snapping away like a bunch of nutters.
Some great pics were had and the sight of Davy taking a selfie was a sight to behold. He actually managed to take a good pic of himsellf and not just the barrier or tarmac instead.
lol
A shout from Craig exclaimed that Daz was on his way as Kate had took a pic of the "Welcome to Scotland" sign just past Gretna on the M74 and posted it on FB.
We all headed off back and agreed to meet up in the pub at 19:00.
Myself, T, Davy & Craig headed back to Satire Detailing HQ for 1321 to get a bit a treatment and a big thanks to T for the new supercharger cover bolts.
A mod involving me and Craig that was done in 4 minutes and completed without hammers !!
At 17:37 Christina messaged me to ask what time we were meeting in the pub. When I told her what time she said was the she was in the car park with Brian so after 10 minutes I met up with them and the alcohol, banter, food, alcohol and banter was at full flow once again.
We were kicked out of the pub again and then it was bedtime.
Sunday morning had finally arrived.
We met a few in the hotel car park and then we were off to meet the other NMS members at the services.
It was great to see Rob, Andrew, Eddie, James for the first time, and the rest of the NMS gang some who I've net before and others that 4th I was meeting go for the first time.
It started to rain as we set off but I just did not care. A few GPUKOC members and a load from NMS were on the move, a Sunday morning just does not get any better.
A few blasts between the meet point and the Green Welly were a nice treat between the hold ups from normal traffic.
We left the Green Welly and we headed off to see some scenery and enjoy the ribbons of tarmac.
For any of you that have not been on a run with NMS, they do not mess about as Daz found out. Speed limits in all villages and towns are obeyed and any National Speed Limit sections are driven at a "very enjoyable pace" when conditions and traffic allows.
Anyone who has not been to Scotland just can not begin to imagine the views and the roads. Only about 5% of the roads are as bad as they are in England the rest are perfectly smooth and aid the bits where you can drive at a "very enjoyable pace".
I pushed Redward on The Heartbeat Tour but mi limit was pushed that bit more on The Invasion II.
Being called a nutter by Davy may upset some folk but in the context he used it it put a HUGE smile on my face as has done so again as I typed that sentence out.
The change in conditions from wet to dry to wet to dry made the driving in my eyes that more enjoyable as I could keep pushing Redward to test its limits which are never reached. 1499 handled like a boss and never let me down once.
It was bubbled at 4-4.5K rpm for most of the day so I could lift off and let the engine slow me down or I could give it some hoof and the power would be instantly there.
We went to Oban for some fish and chips and to take in the glorious scenery.
I managed to wangle a place about 6 cars back from the Big Fella, who was leading the convoy, Becquerel that is where all "the action" is.
I held my own pretty well and enjoyed the site of Williams GP2 hitting the twisties at a "very enjoyable pace" for mile after mile.
My only WTF moment was when William pulled out so I followed him.
As I was getting near the rev limiter in 4th William's brake lights lit up like a Christmas Tree.
"This is not gonna end well" I thought.
A stomp on the brakes, a change down to third and a jink to the left between a Range Rover and a Polo, quickly followed by an overtake on the Polo, and I was laughing my head off.
Another double overtake further down the road proved to me that 1499 is an absolute dream to drive at a "very enjoyable pace" and can handle anything that I can throw its way.
Another quick stop to check on the Big Fella and his Flymo Convertible and we then headed back to the Green Welly.
Another MONSTER blast back to Larbert finished of the day brilliantly.
God yes we're said to Daz, Kate and the rest of the NMS gang and the pub was calling yet again.
The night ended up with myself and Cat having a great chat as Davy and T did the same.
The £5 handshake that I gave Davy as he sat in the taxi will no doubt be avenged but it was as very funny way to end a great few days in Scotlandshire.
Monday morning involved the usual check of the hotel room at least 6 times so that I didn't leave anything.
A fill up with more Nitro+ had me setting off at 10:00 which was followed by a steady straight through 4 hour cruise back home.
I'm already counting down to going back for another run in Scotland next year even though nothing has yet been arranged.
A big thank you to all members of GPUKOC and NMS involved but especially to Craig for the organization and a fantastic run and also to Davy for the usual "I owe you for that one" moments.
Thank you all and ah'll so thi soon.
Pete
(pics and vids to follow as soon as I can sort them out)

Brilliant Pete ... another great summary of the weekend and likewise just reading your post had me laughing at the weekends happenings. Money can't buy these weekends which make it even more special and it's great to see that you're picking up the NMS habit quickly. Might need to split you and William up next time he's a bad influence ... I can mind the HBT !!
Glad you had a great weekend and you're so so right revenge will be sweet ...
Thank you not only on a personal basis for coming up but on behalf of all the NMS members you certainly are a legend !
Until next time ... keep taking the tablets oh and of course the cider !

I have got to agree Brian, as this was my first run with the club I was made feel more than welcome, in fact from meeting the guy's and your self and William on the Friday night for a beer to the day out on the Saturday at Knock Hill, then the run it's self on the Sunday I can honestly say it was the best weekend that I have had in ages.
I have made a lot of friends this weekend, too many to name in fact but they know who they are, you should see my Facebook page! lol.
Already looking forward to the next outing and would recommend to any one to come along and join in.:thumbs up:

Thank you kindly.
I've not downloaded the wee "Davy camera" just yet. That's a job for tomorrow or Thursday night.

I've just worked out that from 16:00 on Friday to leaving the bar on Sunday night we spent about 18 hours in the pub plus a few snifters in the Indian.

The video should be finished tonight.
Not too sure how long a 1h 20m long 60fps HD vid will take to upload to YouTube though.

It'll be free to watch but you'll have to buy your own popcorn.

Sounds like I'll need to get the recliner in front of the TV and a few cans on standby :)
Bet it's a comedy ...

Thanks Davy & Craig.

It took about 6-7 hours to edit in total Davy, 3 hours of that was deciding which gauges to use and where to put 'em !!
