    As we look forward to the 'social' year ahead, what with all the shows, Sunday meets & runs & the BIGGY = HBT3, I was wondering if there was anything or any room in the calendar for some more

    Prior to the legendary Heartbeat Run the main runs of the year (for many a year) were the Cullen Ice Cream Run then the epic Highland Tour which usually consisted of two nights in the northern towns of Ullapool, Skye, Thurso, etc etc taking in the majority of the superb North Coast 500 route http://www.northcoast500.com
    Now the only main drawback was trying to get everyone into the same accommodation (as we do in Yorkshire) as it makes the run come together in the evenings as we settle down for some fine grub, excellent banter & the odd

    Now because the Heartbeat Tour is our 'mainstay' on the calendar (& rightly so) would there be interest in a 'one nighter' in Scotland (not necessarily the NC500) if we could find suitable, affordable northern hospitality for all participants.

    Ok folks, mucho apologies for the delay re dates for this wee jaunt. We're gonna go for the weekend 16/17 September in order to a) give any Oxford runners a chance to do both runs b) accomodate our southern fella as it only seems fair what with the distances involved & c) avoid the September weekend.

    See page 9 for full route details and Saturday accomodation.

    Names of those who have thus far shown an interest are as follows :

    Crombers & Karen - booked R50 Cooper
    Pete & Mrs CFX - booked R53 GP1
    Brian & Christina - booked / one of the fleet
    Ali - booked F56 JCW
    & Laura - booked F54 JCW

    Alasdair - booked F58 JCW
    Dad - booked R56 WC50
    Mark - B&B booked R56 S
