    Good evening NMS'rs, a wee update for y'all

    We've just done another recce and we're pleased to confirm as follows :

    Run complete at 170 miles from Perth Services to Bridge of Don, Aberdeen (and then same again on return).

    Planning on an 09:00 meet for an 09:30 departure from Broxden Services, Perth, please be as early as you can).

    Run notes completed and copies will be available prior to departure.
    Regroup and comfort stops have been factored in.

    Lunch stops have been arranged. Due to ongoing Covid restrictions (which should ease again 9/8) we cannot pre book certain venues, i.e. Glenshee & Goodbrand & Ross (on route). We have however been able to book The Lecht Ski Centre for both days because a) I persuaded them that we were good guys & b) Karen gave them that loving glance .... y'know the one ....

    Dinner at the hotel is booked for 18:30 with us all seated in the one area (as best they can under current circumstances). Those who have pre booked dinner have been accounted for

    The hotel has an overflow car park we can use if we wish (keeps all our MINI's away from the rif raff .... y'know how protective we can be).
    Keep it quiet but there is ....... shhhhhh an OUTSIDE TAP!! ....... for anyone that wishes to use. Please feel free to clean Karen's F55 at any time ........
    The local garage, just down the bypass has 99 degree full fat fuel for all the SuperMINI's

    PS Mom ...... they have both Bacardi, and Pink Gin ......... mega dilemma eh

    PPS did I mention the roads we've selected have put a smile on this old face ...........
    I don't think we have covered off Tomintoul to North Aberdeen in NMS history so this is a first for us and we think you will really enjoy driving them .....
