Sounds great Kieran :thumbs up:

We're available on the 23rd but can't make the 16th unfortunately however don't let that influence things if the 16th is looking more appropriate.

There's a short guide here with some tips for organising and leading a run.

Also, on my last run I ended up leading folks off the prescribed route and into a dead-end housing estate so there's absolutely no pressure ;)

Great Kieran. 23rd works better for us. Let me or any other the other admins know if you need any help

[DaiB]

We would be interested for sure.

[cuddles]

23 works for us

[JOHN MILNE]

23rd works for me

[Kieran-C]

Perfect. Lets pencil in the 23rd October. Planning on doing a little scouting run in the next week or so, so should be able to finalise things after that. Thanks all.

[MINI William]

Anymore info Kieran? Need a hand with anything?

[Kieran-C]

Heading out Tuesday to double check the route I’ve got planned, was meant to go last week but the weather was awful. Only thing i could do with a hand is with the route notes…what’s the best way to go about making them up?

[MINI William]

Zero your trip at the starting point. Then note mileage at turns etc, also best to reset after lunch as well incase of any mishaps

[Kieran-C]

Perfect. Was going to look at AA route planner too just incase �� just make sure cars are all nice and clean….I’m gonna pack the drone.

[MINI William]

Perfect Kieran. Send me the run notes after you’ve done them and I’ll get them added to the first post

[Track Ali]

Here's a link to a template Kieran. http://newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9178&d=1647255252

We normally print off the route via Google maps, and then double check all the mileage points are 100% accurate when we test the route.

After that it's just a case of typing them up and then uploading them. Feel free to ping one of us if you need a hand uploading things.

[Kieran-C]

Route was completed today ✅ just need to finalise route notes and we should be good to go.

[DaiB]

Looks good, looking forward to it.

[MINI William]

Run notes added to the first post. Really looking forward to this

Morning All,

I’ve decided to postpone this weekends run due to coming down with the flu/cold (hopefully not you know what). The forecast was not looking great either so I think it’s probably best. Depending on how the weather is I can look to reschedule for November time or just hold off to the New Year.

Apologies for this, I was really looking forward to getting everyone lost aswell.

Thanks,
Kieran

[MINI William]

No worries Kieran. Can’t help not being well. Hope you feel better soon

[JOHN MILNE]

No worries
Get better soon

[DaiB]

That’s a shame but something to look forward to in the future. Hope you feel better soon.

[Hillfam]

That’s a shame. Hopefully I will be able to come along for the new date

[millemanuk]

Hope to join you when new date is organised
