Last Min Run 16th April 23

[MINI William]

Sorry for the late notice but with the Arnold Clark run being postponed until later in the year I thought it was a great opportunity to get another run under our belts for the year.

We'll meet at Eskbank Park & Ride to head down into the Scottish Borders and East Lothian to take in some fantastic roads and scenery. As I've not got time to recce a new run it will be a recycled run.
The route will take us into East Lothian stopping at Dunbar for some Fish & Chips for our lunch stop, we will then be heading south into the borders taking us past Whiteadder Reservoir towards Duns before heading back north finishing at the Soutra Cafe for some tea and cake. There is a Tesco petrol station that sells Momentum along with a McDonald's, Costa and a Greggs if anyone needs anything just up the road from the start location.

Feel free to bring a picnic if you would prefer there is picnic benches etc that people should be able to use.

Start time: 10am for 1030 start
Meeting point: Eskbank Park & Run EH22 3FR

William, would it be possible for you to bring 2 black club stickers with you please? And could the S be red? For my rear back windows.

[MINI William]

I’ll see what I can get done. I think I may have the ones I got done for you for MMM. Will check

No problems at all, let me know when you know if you can attend or not.

Run notes are now on the first post, I've reused them from last years Fish & Chip run where we went to Dunbar and then down by Duns and finished at the café at the bottom of Soutra.

[Kirst_jcw]

Count me in! New PS4s on the car so a great time to test them out

Looks great, looking forward to the run (and the fish and chips!).

[CoopSCam]

Good news is that my diary is clear and I can attend, bad news is that the drivers window regulator has gone and I've a brake warning light on the R65. i think its just a sensor but not taking any chances. Into the garage she goes. That'll teach me for leaving it for weeks unattended!!

I can bring my other motor but its not a mini if thats ok with everyone?? If not totally understand.

Not so good your MINIs not working just now. Sadly it’s something we’ve had issues with in the past so will need to say no on this occasion

Not a problem and totally understand....hopefully see at the next.

Enjoy

[MINI William]

Alan I’ve got your stickers in the car from last time.

I’ll see everyone in the morning, the weather is supposed to be nice, perfect for getting chips

[AlanJCW]

Nice one..
See you & everyone else in the morning.

[Crombers]

Enjoy your day folks :thumbs up:

Sainsburys Rosyth is now fully stocked for anyone interested :hand:

[badwolf340]

Another great run today thanks to those that attended and hopefully you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did :yes nod: hopefully see you all soon for another run and thanks to William for organising today :thumbs up:

[JOHN MILNE]

Great run today thanks William for organising and going for the fish & chips

[AlanJCW]

Amazing run as usual..

In talks with the Mrs for MMM :smilewinkgrin:

[MINI William]

Thanks to everyone that came along today, really pleased everyone had a good day.

I'm pleased the weather stayed nice despite a bit rain at the start point, a little detour due to a road closure was a welcome addition and I'll see if I can tie that road into a future run at some point.

I'll try and get some photos posted tonight, if not they will be up tomorrow

We really enjoyed the run. It was fantastic fun with a great bunch of people, good roads and scenery and tasty fish and chips!
