Good idea, he could escort us past the Sunday drivers!!

[Rab (bombero) Reid]

I'll see you all at the A1/A720 services!

Looks like we might get wet although in general the weather is better in the east. Heavy rain for me just about when I'm leaving Paisley. Just as well I have a roof

It turns out I am able to come out for a run tomorrow - would be great to meet... I think Lizzie Bryce roundabout is easiest to get to (from linlithgow).  What time are you meeting there?

Aye - missed that.  See you there - if it's serviceable I'll be in a yellow seiw !

Great run out today and the rain stayed off until the very last leg home so cannae complain! Big thanks to all for making the effort to come along and good to see another new face, Ian (flyflashone) and his son, and a (very) old face in Alastair (theprisoner thepensioner), dusting off the Sylva J15 for a run with his auld Clan mates! Thanks to Brian (H.7) for keeping us right with directions, and John (Hornet600) should put his satnav back in the drawer! 

Wee excursion into Engerland with a pistop in Berwick to claim it back for the Scots and then up to Eyemouth for the fab chippy. 

You can't beat eating a chippy under the cover of the old fish market shed!

Good day out. Just under 250 miles for me. John and Rae must have wondered where I was going when I turned left coming up from the harbour at Eyemouth. They turned right. I followed my sat nav and not the road sign which clearly said Edinburgh was right. I was already committed so kept going. Roofs were up as it was raining heavily but when on the A1 it went off. I pulled in to a layby to put the roof down thinking I was way behind them anyway only to hear the noise of 4 kit cars and Bob and Lorna in the MX5 go by. Seems the sat nav was correct after all. Frantically securing the roof I then pursued them and caught up to join the convoy just as everyone was splitting to head their separate ways. Managed to follow John and Rae along the M8 though.

 

Good day guys. Nice to meet the folk I already know and a few I didn't.

'Fraid not, Bob. Turning right was the right way to go .. it takes you along the rest of the A1107 through Coldingham and shortens boring drive on the A1. Satnavs will always try and take you on the quickest but not necessarily the most exciting of routes!
