Made it home, part in the dry and then chucked it down for the last third of the trip. What a thrill!! Cheers all...I'm hooked! Speak soon

The Plan! Start June 3rd Nearly 1300 miles. 18 days, 17 overnight stays in order to catch the elusive haggis. Me in my westie and my mate in his Locost seven will undertake the drive from the flat fens in East Anglia and head to the Eastern side of the nc500. We will then head west and back down through the pennines and back home. UPDATE 17 individual hotels or b&bs booked. Must be mad lol

Actually if it's not too late in the planning process, I'd suggest you include the Cairngorms in your route up if you can, you won't be disappointed. Probably some of the best roads we have up here, with some lovely long sections and a wee bit different to the West Coast. The drive up to Glenshee and then on to Braemar is amazing and you can get a move on too. If you could fit it in you'd end up at Grantown-on-Spey and then up to Nairn and across to Inverness, missing out the long slog of the A9. Oh man, bring on the Spring and the good weather..!

Yeah you'll love it, will be busy in June with campers and foreign drivers, mainly Dutch as they just love Scotland. Hopefully your doing the full route and if so my advice is to ignore the official route and do it anticlockwise, leaving all the best bits to last. As said above the East Coast is a bit bland by comparison. I've done it 9 times now, but then it's on my doorstep. Sounds like my Euro trips with so many hotels booked, takes a good eye for Admin!

I may see you up there. Will be doing the run with my daughter. Loved it last time.

Unlikely the many messages I got about being on the front of the 2026 Calendar, I've only had one member advise they've seen this on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTcl17iiEVA/ https://fb.watch/EMYg-bYUrl/

Don't forget your haggis lasso

Did it in the motorhome last year, in April. Was lovely. Would be great to do in the car one day

Don’t forget your midge repellant they will be hungry in June! But you will love it and you’re doing it the right way anti clock wise!

Definately leaving the best till last. Will be giving a bit more info out soon.

You’ll love it. The east coast is a bit meh, but the north and west coasts are spectacular. With that timescale you’ve got time to get onto Skye as well. Enjoy!

Just to highlight that this meet is on 28th Jan, not 22nd as is listed in the Events Calendar. I will work with Scott to delete the incorrect entries and get them updated, but it will be fourth Wednesday of the month at 19.30 moving forward. Thanks, and apologies for any confusion caused. Stu

Lovely looking car, sure you will have a lot of fun with that. Take it easy on the way back if it’s very wet; lightweight rear wheel drive cars can be lively! I see it has Toyo Proxy TR-1 tyres on it, any idea how old? Possibly even worth checking the pressures in them as they should not be too high, 18 psi is a good place to start.

Welcome to the club @karan733! Looks like a lovely car you've got yourself there. Remember, there's no such thing as bad weather - just bad clothing choices....! Take your time in the rain and you'll be fine. I find if I can keep above about 50mph then the rain goes over the top of me anyhow, and I don't get toooo wet. Honest officer! Keep us posted, and welcome

Hope you get up and running again soon Ash.

Unfortunately due to a fault with my oven all orders are suspended until further notice Ash
