'mon then, some of us are stuck at work waiting on pictures
Fantastic first day filled with great cars and brilliant roads and a few laughs along the way. Roll on day 2
Lunch stop at the Lecht after some excellent roads
Thank you to Crombers and his very special partner in crime Karen for the wonderful weekend, amazing roads and fantastic company. I had a wonderful time catching up with everyone and I am so grateful to you all my NMS family, for Alex and Gill getting me there in the first place, for Mini Mum and Brian keeping an eye on my rear end and for everyone else's patience while I'm learning to drive solo on roads I would normally have been shouting at Malcolm to slow down because he was shaking me all over the place, as Crombers explained it's called uneven roads and surfaces. (Who knew) I just thought Malcolm's was driving ****e on these runs. Learn something new every day. Arrived home safe, sound and knackered again thanks to Alex and Gill. Hope you all enjoyed the final run but I realised I had done as much as I could, you may now think of me as the newbie and not the one who has been here forever. The one with no volume control Mini Mum or on off button. A huge thanks to you all NMS:clap:
Great weekend superb roads to drive on
Thanks to Crombers & Karen for organising
But of a detour to start with but we got there :thumbs up:
A huge thank you to Crombers and Karen for a great weekend away, everything organised was spot on even down to the bacon roll van at our first stop. Also a huge thank you to everyone that came along to this years Highland Tour, it really is the people that help make such a great weekend.
The roads where spot on as you’d except along with mostly dry weather for us all to enjoy our cars.
I’ll sieve through the pictures that we took over the weekend and post a selection of the best ones. Also should have a few videos from the weekend if the camera worked.
Massive echo of what's already been said ... Thank you so much Karen and Crombers for a fantastic weekend from my mum Elaine and I, we had so much fun!! those roads and stops were great and the views of the scenery and the minis was a lovely sight to see. Thanks again for organising and letting us come along. Really nice to get to spend more time with everyone and get to know more people. Can't wait to see you all again soon. And relax ahh. Can't wait to see pictures. Thanks again all at NMS.

Not bad mpg considering [emoji4]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...97674920a4.jpg
Big thanks to Crombers and Karen for organising and planning,it’s not easy and takes up a lot of time,effort and resources :yes nod: ,a great weekend and who knew about the new lesbians :laugh:.brilliant banter at the table and hopefully Sandra will come back :thumbs up: for more .great roads and the best of the weather helped
Thank You Thank You Thank You Crombers & Karen for once again reminding me why I’ve been a (small) part of the NMS Family (for that is what it is) for 18 years - it’s certainly been good for me, apart from the odd unexpected deflation - not to mention my tyre this weekend! I’ve said it before, a Mini hasn’t fulfilled its true purpose if it hasn’t been on an NMS run, and a Mini Owner hasn’t experienced a true ‘Mini Adventure’ if they haven’t experienced a few days away with NMS. It was SO good to see everybody again after the horrible time we’ve all experienced and are hopefully coming out of. From the driving to the ridiculous banter, from the hugely appreciated organisation to displays of indomitable spirit - you know who you are… I’ll be washing the road grime off the ELFmobile tomorrow, but the memories - as usual - will be indelible. Stay Safe everybody, and let’s do it again before too long.
ps I’ve just sorted through my Goodie Bag, thanks folks!

What can I say peeps, it has been an absolute pleasure to organise.
To have been a part of this club for 17 years has become a great sense of contentment in my & Karen's lives.
We have met so many great people over the years and the bond with some are for life.
As William & Brian have alluded to it's not the cars it's the people (although the MINI does have a strong staring role), & as we hopefully head out of our lives being on hold, I genuinely trust that NMS, will be a big part of our future whether it be with new members or old, or some returning to the fold.
Special mention to our resident NMS Mom :smilewinkgrin: xx , you did so well & have my vote of driver of the trip, well done you xx
Great pics William :thumbs up:.
On Crombers last remark, I couldn’t agree more.
“Mon the Sioban!!!”
Ps Great photos folks
Excellent pic at Goodbrand & Ross
It’s a nice bum [emoji6]. Some great pictures though from a great weekend. Bits of Scotland I’ve never been to before and we were really lucky with the weather and some quieter roads on Sunday.Quote:

Thanks again to Karen and Crombers for the huge amount of work that went into the Highland Tour. To get a trip of that size to run without a hitch is no small task! Here’s to the next one.
I think Karen & Crombers’ friend Sandra has had to book herself into 6 months of intensive therapy! Imagine the state she’d be in after a week in Yorkshire…Quote:

However, we were able to postpone our hotel booking at Bridge of Don and have planned to use it this weekend.
I wondered if you might share your route with us, so we could at least enjoy that (albeit, without the company of the NMS gang).
Cheers!
Scott
I'll see what I can do, the recce was done in a Captur & for reasons beyond me the milages were way out on the F55.Quote:
