Highland Tour 7 16-17th September 2017

Oh O.K. It was just an idea.

To be honest any time is good for me as long as I can book off the specific dates at work.

May or September are your best options IMO to balance weather with less tourists/caravans.

We went to Torridon the 2nd last weekend in September and it was great

Sounds good to me.

Being in Aberdeenshire it's a 2hr trek to even get to the general cars/coffee type meets, and I've always found it a bit odd that a club with Scotland in the name has it's main event doon south.... just saying.

Appreciate your comments. There has been Cars and Coffee Meets organised further north but have never been that well attended from more Northern Members. Neil also organised an Aberdeen Run that only had a few cars attended.

Most members who organise events tend to organise these around roads and areas that they are more familiar with, taking out the likes of HBT, Highland Tour and the above overnight run that Crombers is organising.

Anyone can organise a meet not just Moderators

As you say Gordon , best to try and avoid busy times for the roads but also for hotels

You'll struggle to get a better drivers road than this: http://tinyurl.com/hfpgweg

FWIW I signed the wife up to the BMW car club, they are pretty central belt based from what I've seen. Scotland is just one region, whereas Wales has three - go figure!

Thanks William,

aye it's typical, I couldn't manage the run the Neil organised last year, and IIRC there was a meet at Brechin but I didn't hear about it in time.

Gordon, does that mean you'll put a few more miles on the Mini????? They'll wonder what's wrong come MOT time.

I'm in a similar situation as I live about 12 miles South of Doncaster......
lol

Luckily it's not too far for me to attend The HBT's though.

I took it to Leeds last year, that was half the annual mileage in one weekend! Took it over 1k a year for the first time in a while. Just put new brakes on it, getting new tyres this week so no excuse not to use it.

Also at the moment I work every second weekend, that's changing as of March to every weekend off so should have more time to do car stuff
