Run II

[Neil and Lorna]

Paul

I did post up for you to put our names down as maybies, but I see our names are not on the list anyway.

Just to let you know that we wont be able to make the run now as we are down at Silverstone that week.

Hopefully next year, some fantastic roads up there.

Neil and Lorna.

...........and after that ................ what about round Britain tour maybe as a charity event?

[Stewart]

I know it would cost and take a bit of planning but I'd love a Euro trip, Top Gear style..............but like the idea of the Islands.

[Crombers]

I'll certainly consider it but after visiting the Midlands today, I'd avoid anything south of Leeds

That far south

[Crombers]

I know it would cost and take a bit of planning but I'd love a Euro trip, Top Gear style..............

This has been discussed many times over the years but the organisation more than cost seems to be stumbling block.

However MINI Utd 2011 should not be ignored

[Duncan Stewart]

Were booked into the Royal on Sat night
Not staying Sunday night as Helen has to work on Monday

Do I need to post somewhere on Northern Mini?

Cheers
Duncan & Helen

Paul,

what time do you think we will be in Inverness for on the Sunday? Jude is getting the train down the road on the Sunday so she can make work on the Monday and the train she needs to get is the 16:15hrs train which goes straight to Stirling. Does that fit with your plan?

[stoney]

well thats me booked in at inverness now as well

[Stewart]

I make it 283 miles all in for day two to the lodge on (Tyre) . Also giving me 7hr 46 mins but that’s at Tom Tom speeds and I guess some of the roads are 50MPH max does not take Lunch into account etc.

Guesstimate.


Ullapool to Durness 69 Miles with a stop at said bridge.
Durness to Tongue 30 Miles
Tongue to Thurso 43 Miles
Thurso to John O' Groats 21 Miles
John O' Groats to Wick 17 Miles
Wick To Inverness Lodge 106 Miles.

John O' Groats Roughly around 12:30-1PM

John O' Groats to Inverness 123 miles 2:39hrs at Tom Tom normal road speeds.

If you left John O' Groats you’d be cutting it close if you left at 1:30pm.

I was going to say Paul will have an Idea but I see he just posted.

Thanks for the update guys. This is the cost of having a school teacher wife and wanting to do the full 3 days.. Something has to give... I will prob cut off at Thurso and come down the A9 and have lunch on the road so should be down in Inverness in enough time..
