Clan McWesty: Kames plus Dalveen pass loop 4th of October

[paul n]

Sorry to hear about your heart issues bob, get well soon !  

 

Ok so not looking great for numbers! and weather forecast looking a little mixed! 

 

lets make a final decision as to proceed or not on Saturday with up to date weather and maybe do as bob says and meet down there if you want to go and watch and then head out on a wee run as a bonus! 

 

Realistically if it's raining i think we will save it for another day! lead hills will be no fun in the driving rain! (and i don't' have a windscreen!)

 

Cheers Paul 

[Matta]

due to the heart problems am having that's my season over .

Jeez Bob - what a poor excuse! I'm sure Lorna would drive.....

Incidentally, where was that place on Skye you were talking about with the camping huts? I'm up there in a couple of weeks and thought I might check it out.

Forecast is ok. Very cold early on but ok later

Bob

[paul n]

hmm that looks alot better than the one i saw on the BBC ! 

 

lets hope it stays that way and we are on for the run!  

 

Cheers Paul

I still hope to turn up late AM - we can discuss PM run options on the day.

Worth noting the A76 is shut at Mennock over the weekend, which ruins the plan for a run down the Mennock, up the Dalveen route.

Plenty of other options though, eg Muirkirk to Crawfordjohn, then down the B740 to Sanquhar and up the Mennock (B797) to Leadhills - all brilliant roads.

Ok so weather looks ok, no rain so let's go for it

Dave, Bob, let's meet at kames at say 11:30 ish watch some racing then head for a run after lunch !

I will be in a black westy with loads of carbon, no windscreen....... Probably quite cold

What are you cars like ?

Cheers Paul

[Davep1]

Paul, Bob,

White Westy - swept wings.

There is a petrol station in Muirkirk we can fill up at before heading out.

 

I am aiming to be there before 11:30 to watch some of the practise (Main timed runs start at 1pm).

 

Dave.
