Summary:

Approx. 130 mile circular run round Perthshire (~4 hrs driving, plus lunch stop). Not including 'transit time' to/from meeting point though, so obviously more than 4 hours overall.

Hi, I'll sadly not be able to make this first run..

[David-hrv]

Have a good run guys, but I'll not be able to join you I'm afraid. Got a busy weekend planned and then joining Geoofrey and Gary's trip for a day on Tuesday.

I'm missing Applecross as well this year due to Le Mans and family holidays. Me sad!

Cheers,

I think that's the longest run I've had in the Westie just wearing a teeshirt (and breeks of course ). It must've been in the 20's around Kenmore but was freezing going over the Forth bridge on the way back in the mist. 

[H.7]

You need a V8 heater up front, Matt! 

[ziplob]

fantastic weather till the forth bridge just how cold did it get .

 

[McFrancis]

Great run, and fantastic weather, it is still warm here in sunny Dunblane. Really nice to meet you all. 

Thanks for organising the run (and the weather) Bob.
