[Gary Taylor]

Whose joining us ?

http://www.booking.com/Share-aTJZ1b at Stirling on the way down

http://www.booking.com/Share-9LSGeR at Peebles on Saturday night

Booked these for Friday and Saturday night so we’re definitely going to be there if anyone fancies travelling down with us Friday then coming north on Sunday  😁

Are you sure? That link shows Broomhall Castle, Stirling, not Barony Castle near Peebles 🤔 I'm booked into Barony Castle for the Saturday night 👍

[Gary Taylor]

Hi Brian, yes i have made it clearer now (there are 2 links), we have booked Broomhall at Stirling on the way down then Saturday it only leaves an hour to the start instead of a 4 hour hike, then Barony for the Saturday night before our jaunt home on the Sunday 😀

[BigSkyBrad]

Booked at Barony too. Cheapest price was from their own website - stick that up your bum Trivago!

[BigSkyBrad]

Eight Saturdays to go!

 

On the back of the success and great turn out of the Thames Valley Orienteering Run, come and join in on the Mystery Navigation Run on Saturday 24th August, south of Glasgow. Promising 200 miles of wiggly roads to whet the appetite, along with the (easy) challenge of navigating the route with rally-style instructions. More info at the start of the topic - any questions, just ask here or PM me.

 

Just a day out, or make a weekend of it, there's already folk doing it either way. Some are staying over in Peebles on Saturday night, gathering for a pub/restaurant meal in the evening, others just a day-run and back home, McWestys are used to travelling 100+ miles just to get to the start of a run! Rosetta Holiday Park/campsite is on the edge of town for those who don't mind tenting.

Other McWestys? We don't get many runs in the year, given distance and climate, so how about it?

Hi Brad.

 

Nothing from my area as yet.

 

I did mention it to a couple of my locals but it was too far to travel with work etc.

[Davep1]

Brad,

Put me down as well (maybe +1 in the car - but still working on it...!).

Cheers,

Dave.

I’ve mentioned it but no takers as yet - and I’m in Skye that week so too far north!

I am starting to realise you spend a lot of time up here.

Haha - Yes this year especially but it's mostly the borders on Westy run outs!

[Davep1]

Worth mentioning there are plenty of air bnb's in Peebles still available (I have just booked one very close to the centre).

We’re up in speyside and going down so you’ll be closer than us ...... see you Sunday 😁

[Colsum]

Hi Brad. I don't have a trip meter or mileometer that work full time but put me down anyway. If I don't fix it before the event and they decide not to work on the day i'll guess it..
