Should have kept my winter tyres on.

See you 9:30 at Stirling services.

Just hope the 'force' will be with us

Got some basic run notes. Apart from one little bit near the start its all straightforward. Trust me, I'm a doctor*


* well a first aid at work cert holder which is well on the way to being one :what:

[Alex from NM]

I just put my summer ones on :(

So looking forward to another great Highland Tour. Bring it on, whatever the weather. On a more serious point, remember that we need to leave Stirling at 9.30 sharp, if we are to make the ferry on time, so should aim to get to Stirling for 9.00am. It will also give Crombers more time for his swim!!
Alex, I have found a paper copy the 2011 run notes, which have a lot of detail. If you want to PM me a copy of what you have for this year, I can try and add in more detail and bring copies for everyone. I am assuming they are based on the notes in post's 79, 89 and 95? If you already have enough, I'll go back to hovering the car. lol

Have a great run everybody!
Sorry can't be with you Lots of photos please!

I got some notes which are ok but if you want you can bring the old notes? Day 2 will be familiar to anyone who has done the run before. Only day 1 has some variation, and even that isn't much

In one go Google maps reckons we have 4.5 hours of driving in total from Stirling to mallaig. As we have to be at mallaig for around 4, so we're not too rushed, so a half 9 start gives us a couple of hours for toilet stops, regroups and lunch etc

Weathers jumping around, one minutes Saturday is some showers next its fine down in the central belt. Plockton has heavy rain for Saturday and all the way up has gone to heavy rain on and off for Sunday.

Thankfully Sunday is still just on that 48 hour band that seems a bit iffy to predict when a fast moving weather system is doing its stuff. Fingers crossed.

Next year I'm going to the South of France sod this!!!!!

No probs Alex. I'll bring one copy of the old notes, in case we need to refer to them. Can only think of one wrong turning on a Highland Tour, which put Stuart in "Pole Position" for the next stage.
Great idea Stuart........Monaco for the GP via the Millau bridge. I'm in.........who else is in?

ps. Mom's in the kitchen baking to sound of The Corries...........think she's in the mood..............for the Tour, you dirtbags.

[Alex from NM]

I'm sure someone was organising a big run to Monaco next year. Maybe the Mersey mini club and someone else. I know there is a post on full on minis about it. Just sayin...
