Mad March Run 26th March 2017

[MINI William]

Just so people can put it in their diary's.

The plan is to go for Breakfast and then to follow the route that I done in November that due to the weather we never completed.

The start will be at Toby Carvery Mortonhall Edinburgh EH16 6PG and then all head out for a run. I have booked a table for breakfast for 9.30 with the intention of starting the run at 1030.

As always everyone is welcome


1. William & Megan
2. Brian & Christina
3. Andrew

5. Mike
6. David & Fiona

9. Mark

Put us both down please

[DigitalLemming]

Mike, if it's the same as last time it's the Toby Carvery at Mortonhall, Edinburgh, EH16 6PG, but best to wait on William confirming one way or the other.

[MINI William]

From where to Where?

Sadly I am unable to confirm the start at this present moment as I was unable to get us booked for the usual venue I use for breakfast as I been informed they may be closed for refurbishment. However the girl is calling me to confirm this tomorrow when they are expecting a definite decision. But the run will be finishing in the Borders just not far away from Galashiels.

[cuddles]

Really looking forward to this xxx

Great photos Andrew

[Crombers]

Looks like a great day NMS'rs, great pics :thumbs up: & well done to the Scouser for turning up :p

[CiderFex]

Thanks for your kind words all and I'm sorry I didn't post up yesterday.

Very funny Allan, I won't take any offence at your comment but it has been noted.
[emoji12]

What an absolutely brilliant day and yet another "secret" visit up North of The Wall.
(Well, it was a secret apart from William being in on it.)
[emoji12]
I beat my own "most-miles-in-a-day-whilst-driving-GP1499" record by covering 570 miles (the previous was 488) whilst using £107 worth of Nitro+.
Me and the woman at the Shell station in Jedburgh are now on first name terms.
[emoji23]
Firstly thanks to William for a cracking run and your radio warnings were excellent as always.
[emoji1303]
Christina, the look on your face when you realised that the "bloke with hair like Pete's" was actually Pete was hilarious and will always make me laugh when I think about it.
[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I hope you like the melon and the orange.
Brian, thanks for yet again showing me some more Boys Toys that I didn't know existed that I now want.
[emoji1303]
Thank you as well to Megan, Andrew, David, Fiona and Oli for making it a stunning day all round.
[emoji4]
I'll not mention the weather because I seriously think that it was just a hologram created by The Scottish Tourist Board purely for my benefit.
[emoji15]
Even though you both weren't there thanks to Davy for the text reply to me sending you a pic of 1499 parked up outside The Toby, it was hysterical and to Catherine for your comments on FB.
[emoji4]
Thank you all, it was a pleasure to spend time with you all again and now that I know just how easy it is to do a return trip to Scotlandshire and back in a day you never know when and where I may pop up.
[emoji23]
Stunning pics Andrew you're really getting used to the EOS 80D.
[emoji1303]
I would suggest a more considered approach when picking a subject to photograph though.
[emoji23]

Here's the few pics that I did take today. They were all taken on mi iPhone due to me forgetting the EOS 70D

I forgot to post this yesterday, sorry.
I took 2h 48m of video on Sunday but edited it down to 13m 20s.
I've no idea why the gauges won't work on it, I'll look into that later, and I apologise for the rattling mount but I forgot to sort that before I installed the camera.

Yes it is Andrew.
[emoji1303]
I'd have expected to not be as close to it for as long as I was for most of the route on Sunday but some folk just tend to drive like that on Sundays.
