Grasmt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yea well gives me a starting point to look for accommodation, ill have a look and phone about for the best prices tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattwatt Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I like the idea of traveling about a bit, if going to do such a long journey seems a shame to waste it based at one place. It might also be a good idea to try and time this in with the custom show that drift_bear mentioned?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'd rather the accommodation be like chalets, near a lake or something. Out of the way with nice roads to it. Make a nice weekend of it, bbq, camp fire etc This. No camping though!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Also up for different overnight locations. When do the dates for the show get announced? That would give a definite date to book out then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattwatt Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Just looking at there facebook page and this years show was 20th July so not sure if next years dates will be similar? This. No camping though!!!! And there I was thinking that camping could actually be fun for one of the nights lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 And there I was thinking that camping could actually be fun for one of the nights lol... It's never fun. I tolerate it for JAE, I will cry if I have to do it any more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasmt Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Haha! Well me and alex(drift_bear) spoke about this last night. If we could get the dates for the show we could travel scotland be at the show and parked up the night before so we can get cars cleaned etc, and have a good piss up at night. This may also attract more memebers from the scottish section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 So far im thinking the following the route, this is just a rough idea though. Obviously i will work out the final route, fuel stops and etc but hopefully this will help get the ball rolling... Day 1 (267 miles) Starting point - Loch lomond Fort william Applecross Finishing point - Loch ness Day 2 (173 miles) Starting point - Inverness Aviemore Pitlochry Stirling Finishing point - Glasgow (or Edinburgh for the SCS, date depending) Means we take in the west coast on Day 1 and then the East side on Day 2, what does everyone think about that?

Sounds good - I'm guessing that: - Day 1 = Saturday, Day 2 = Sunday? - That the non Scottish/non local people will want to stay around Loch Lomond on the Friday night? As in do the UK drive up on the Friday? - They may also want to stay Sunday night and drive back on Monday? ... as it's like 500~ miles to even get to Scotland.

Originally yes i was thinking of people arriving friday night and then the following Day 1 - Saturday Day 2 - Sunday And then saying our goodbyes on the Monday BUT If people were wanting to do SCS, then it would need to be the following Day 1 - Friday Day 2 - Saturday (big piss up at night) Day 3 - SCS and then say our goodbyes Edited October 3, 2014 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Or there is just Day 2 and Day 3, if that makes sense? I'm not too worried, just thinking about cost and time off work as I'm sure that will affect most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I think we should make this a Thursday to Monday thing gives us southerners and chance to ready as it's going to take me 12 with stop to meet people to get up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Make it flexible. Some can go Thursday to Saturday, others Friday to Sunday, some can do the duration and some overnight. You'll get more people going that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then people can turn up to that location at any time over the few days and know where everyone will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Suppose i better put my name down 1) supraleeturbo 2) wattwatt 3) supragal 4) grasmt 5) Crock 6) Al Massey 7) Drift_bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 1) supraleeturbo 2) wattwatt 3) supragal 4) grasmt 5) Crock 6) Al Massey 7) Drift_bear 8) Benjy Dates dependant. Still think a stay over on the thursday night somewhere central. Those of us that want to meet up at a central point to convoy up can, and anyone that's not arsed about leaving as a convoy can join the convoy at a service station at a given time a bit further north.

Slam Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Wasent down Brighton though so:p Any ways I hope You can come join us when we come up be good to see you pal Me and Karen are interested in this pending dates. Would be good to go north & be with the Scottish lot. As they do make the effort in coming down to us. Sounds like it could work, but it'd have to 1, not clash with DB, 2, not clash with DB v2, 3, not clash with JAE and 4, not be horrendous weather. All depends on dates etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
