    R.E Andys post about having lunch at Quinns.

    Sarah and I were there on Sunday for our tea after a recommendation from a friend.
    We can both say that the food there is excellent, as is the service we received. Its rather fancy inside as well considering its in Galashiels
    I should imaging the lunch menu wont differ that much from evening menu.
    Looking forward to my lunch all ready.

    Sarah had fish and I had the chinese sticky chicken thingy. Both were excellent. Top tip for starters would be the garlic flat bread or the medallions of beef. Puddings were substantial as well.

    Yeah I left it parked on the one way street (Channel Street I think) just in front of a dodgy looking cinema. Amazingly all wheels were in tact.

    Tell you what that’s some bitch of a run to put in “TYRE” for the Tom Tom………..lots of turns and waypoints but got it nailed down as good as can be. I know everyone will stay close but it’s nice to have it on the Tom Tom when I cant read the notes on the go. The Oban Run was a dream to this bad boy to build…..


    It’s great just too even have the garden centre and the Hotel on………Closest I been to this area is St Mary’s Loch from Moffat.


    And yes I'm that Bored
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Erm, I haven't uploaded the run notes yet. Route is a bit different this year. Difference lunch location and end location and so on.

    Hoping to get the notes up by tomorrow evening.
