    Wow!
    You guys certainly chose some weather to travel down through and into!!
    I was a tad concerned, having seen all the reports on the news etc! Glad you’re all back safe!
    I’m really looking forward to this trip, somewhere different that I’ve not been to before either!
    The bummer is that I can’t come up the weekend before and convoy down with you all, as that’s all part of it IMHO!
    Don’t think I’ll be missing much at Knockhill after this years shambolic performance by them...
    Will need to have a chat about the BBQ stuff on the second night, a bit nearer the time, if you’d still like some help?

    It was amazing the amount of flooding, we never really appreciated it until we seen some of the streets that where now lakes! We managed to find some alternative routes when we got stopped or turned.

    I will most certainly be in touch after the year regarding the BBQ - never one to turn down some help, thanks again

    Fabulous itinerary ...... you just can't beat kicking off a trip with a visit to Huntleys

    Is night one venue based i.e. back to Oor Pub after first day food a-la as we did at the Grainary?

    Night two, splendid ..... last person leaving, switch the lights off

    & night three, are we eating out or at venue?


    It's always questions questions with dafties like me m

    Yip back to base after fish and chips, night three we will be eating out, the surprise starts at 6 and I’ll put menu choice up nearer the time as I need to send that to them beforehand.

    Hope you’ve already started practicing your pint-pouring Crombers!

    Pint pouring is akin to riding a bike or swimming, once the art is acquired it is never forgotten.
    Previous NMS tours have proven that my time spent 'behind bars' wasn't really all that wasted after all

    Itinerary sounds great folks, ‘pastures new’ after the glorious Heartbeat Years, new memories to make! Glad you survived the floods on the recce, looked horrendous on the news reports. Really felt for those affected.

    I’m a bit AWOL from NMS these days due to various things, but I haven’t forgotten about you and I’m totally looking forward to next May!

    ps I think we should have a whip-round and get Crombers an official NMS Barman’s apron!
    pps Is my sig thing all blurry or have my eyes gone again...?
