Wow what a weekend iv had... alot of miles, alot of fun and a huge lack of sleep but one of the best weekends ever... it was all based around Applecross which if you haven't seen it is a Scottish event on this forum.

 

Before I left home at 3:30am on thursday I downloaded an app on my phone called "Map my Drive" which shows where you have driven since starting tracking, I done 2123.4 miles and here is my map of roads covered...

Firstly after driving from my house in Hereford (west mids) up to Aberdeen on the thursday morning it was then time for Applecross, so friday morning I went over to the west coast to meet everyone finding nice roads along the way...

We then arrived at ACE Sports activity centre for clay pigeon shooting and axe throwing…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222131&stc=1&d=1504092731

 

Where they had a cool outdoor shower…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222132&stc=1&d=1504092731

 

Here was Sunny, Michael and Gordy clay pigeon shooting…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222133&stc=1&d=1504092731

 

This was the look on Sunny’s face when he realised he was really good at clay pigeon shooting…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222134&stc=1&d=1504092731

 

Then we done axe throwing where I got highest score (had to add that bit)

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222135&stc=1&d=1504092731

 

We weren’t quite sure what Michael was doing here…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222136&stc=1&d=1504092774

 

Sunny caught red handed adjusting Gordy’s seat (still not sure Gordy has it back in the correct position even now lol)…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222137&stc=1&d=1504092774

 

Gordy’s shopping list stack…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222138&stc=1&d=1504092774

 

It’s a boy…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222139&stc=1&d=1504092774

 

A few of the Supra’s parked together…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222140&stc=1&d=1504092774

 

Happy Gordy again…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222141&stc=1&d=1504092821

 

Sunny cleaning his car for a quick photo…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222142&stc=1&d=1504092821

 

The photo…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222143&stc=1&d=1504092821

 

Nice roads on the way to the ferry…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222144&stc=1&d=1504092821

 

The ferry…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222145&stc=1&d=1504092821

 

Then time to head back over to Aberdeen to pick up some bits from Alex (Bear) and to see Lauren and travelled more nice roads...

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222146&stc=1&d=1504092856

 

Also came across this on my way...

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222147&stc=1&d=1504092856

 

Lauren says hi to everyone…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222148&stc=1&d=1504092856

 

Then went off down to Eastbourne to see Rosie (Supragal) to go for double burger and freakshakes at Maxwells…

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=222149&stc=1&d=1504092856

 

Then back home again for just after 11pm on Monday night ready for work Tuesday morning.

 

All in all a fantastic weekend so thankyou to everyone that made it great especially to Gordy and Sunny (SPG) for arranging such a great event as Applecross.
