    Applications are now open for the annual Mini Clan Thistle Run. Details are as follows...


    From Loch Lomond Shores to Dunoon
    Sunday May 29th 2005
    Scotland's Annual Mini-only Run


    Having had five fantastically successful runs since the inaugural 2000 run between Edinburgh and St. Andrews, the Mini Clan's Thistle Runs have voyaged from Anstruther to Eyemouth to Oban using some of Scotland's finest roads and through the most stunning and beautiful scenery.

    For 2005 the Mini Clan are have arranged another famous starting place; Drumkinnon Tower at Loch Lomond Shores.

    From this beautiful starting point we will take you up the Loch and wind you over to Argyll and up the Rest An’ Be Thankful.

    The journey then goes down some spectacular roads along the banks of Loch Fyne and over the glens to Dunoon.

    Once in Dunoon we have been granted special permission to recreate our “Mini Cavalcade” into the town and to our central parking area where our judges will under take the challenge of the Show ’n’ Shine, including a category for best MINI!

    The usual goodies will be part of the entry, such as a numbered magnetic rally plaque, sticker and Run magazine. You are only guaranteed a full run pack if you are amongst the first 140 to enter.

    Entry costs are £10.50 before the 8th April and £13.00 thereafter. Entrys can be made online here.

    The Mini Clan has also arranged a special deal with Western Ferries - the ticket is £6.75 for a Mini (or i presume a MINI) plus driver (a saving of 25%), extra passengers will cost £2.50. These tickets can be ordered now through a Clan member or (easier) bought on the day from the Clan, depending on availability.

    I'll be sending my application away in the next day or so. The Thistle Run is a fun day out with lots of great roads and Minis/MINIS of all types.

    The (positive) reaction of people in the towns and villages along the way and the final cruise through the town is a sight to see! Don't miss it.
