Scorpion Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Mixed up my dates thought meeting in Perth on Saturday but have realised it's Friday....I know!!! So, where are you all staying Friday night, so i can join you on Saturday morning with a hearty roar!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickforbreakfast Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi gents, I'm currently in Wick having done the 500 the other way round in my HR. As I'll be heading down the A99 (leaving Wick approx 9am) if you're stopping anywhere for lunch what time would that be (and where) and I'll try to catch you on the road and introduce myself (assuming the missus hasn't dragged me off route to a local castle) Also, have to say, I'm jealous of the driving that you guys have ahead, if I had time I'd turn around and do it all again, genuinely great stuff. Only saw one police car up by Thurso, and no cameras so hopefully you'll have the same luck! Cheers Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to say tbh and there might be a group split from when we head off on Saturday morning as a few of us are cutting off the north east corner and going diagonally to Kyle of tongue / Durness . Some others might want to go to John o groats, sorry cant be anymore specific than that atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickforbreakfast Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 No problem at all mate, we're staying in Invergordon on the Friday night so if we get up early doors we can head to the Muir of Ord hotel for a cheeky picture of the cars. I'll give it a shot and if not no worries Blast is an understatement! I live on the doorstep of North Wales and thought I'd driven some good roads. This has been an absolute eye opener.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irn Bru Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Guys, planning for next one already, probably 2021 and looking to go to Mallaig, Plockton, up the west cost, across the north coast to Thurso / Scrabster and getting ferry over to Orkney for the day. Will start a new post once I start the planning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to meet all the new ones and catch up with the "veterans" and thanks to Jim for the loan of our radios....they really do make the trip. Chirag and Sai as entertaining as usual....and being behind "Sooty" was well eyewatering lol Glad my jerry can came in useful and we had no really big mechanical problems. Loved Nuggets detour to Kinlochleven that was brilliant twisty driving!! Last but not least thanks to Brian and Adele for the company and organisation.....top people! Thanks for the excellent company guys and gals hopefully see you all on the next one!!
