I am travelling north on Thursday (30th ? @irnbru :D)

Anybody else overnighting anywhere en route?

I will probably be on car park in Jedburgh (MHs allowed and free local wifi)

Or could relocate to join any other overnighters somewhere else (y)

hi davidG58 i've decided to travel up on thursday as well.
did you decide on a suitable stopover.. if so ,will there be enough space for me,
it could be a mini meet lol.. or i'll have to resort to my newly aquired britstops book

Plan A is stop at the car park in Jedburgh on A68, not the one by the rugby pitches but next on left, motorhomes welcomed (allowed), I think I will be there about 4, there is room for about 50 of us if needed :D

@Terry is also planning on doing the same

There is a pub 100yds from car park :) and free wifi

My choice of route up is Newcastle, take the airport junction, A696, follow that road to Otterburn where it joins the A68, (the A68 from Darlington is pretty but tiresome)

Hope to see you there, or at worst at the Falkirk Wheel on Friday (y)

The car park you want is off Canongate and is near the Tourist Information place and the bus stances, stay on the A68 past the turn for the Abbey (ruins) ...... You turn left if coming from the south, the road on the right is called "Duck Row" :) :)

We're just down the road and can't make the meet but would love to come visit. Can we do that - preferably when there's a group thing going on?
Hi mags52 I'm sure that would be great.. I imagine an evening would be the best time to catch everyone...maybe the Saturday when the I think the ceilidh is planed but any evening would most probably give the best chance of meeting everyone..
I'm sure sandra will get back but some people still have to go to work :giggle::LOL:..
Look forward to meeting you if you make it
Ta Andy.

Hello Irnbru, due to wifes sister being admitted to hospital on Friday afternoon in bloody Inverness ( don't know why there instead of Ninewells in Dundee) I am taking there up and as she is getting various test for lump in her throat on Saturday wife wants to stay with her during this difficult time. Please give our space to whoever is next on the reserve list.

We'll come and find you at the wheel then in good time for the ride. Have you block booked so that we pay you directly or do we get our own tickets?

Hi everyone. Its just been pointed out to me that I have got the bun and boat day wrong. Thanks to an observant @andy63
The 1st of Aug is actually the Sat and not Monday as I said.
@davanne @Allan & Loren
Hi sandra,
Are we too late for the boat and bun, I said no as it was the Monday but definitely if it's the sat.
We might be late arriving Friday so I'll pm you for your number just in case

just been researching eating options and really disappointed to find that the hotel marked on the map is some kind of private boat that isn't even there any more, self catering it is I guess :)

café for breakfast

plus just watched weather forecast, mention of frost in the glens. It is July Oh Please!, infact it will be August before I come home :LOL:

There is a restaurant on the other side of the wheel...think its called the wheelhouse.

Hailstones were in Perth last weekend.

More than toes wet now!

Stop moaning!;) Sandra has went to a lot of effort (numerous phone calls to Carol Kirkwood, BBC weather girl) to ensure typical Scottish summer weather is laid on to give an authentic feel to the rally, and free of charge as well!:giggle:

As you say, forecast isn't brilliant for the weekend but hope it isn't too bad for you all.

as mentioned we could do a group cycle ride to kelpies Saturday or sunday depending on weather..
bikes can be hired but not cheap.. £20 for a day min of £10 for a couple hrs I think..
and if its wet we can always hire a few canoe's and go for a paddle:LOL::LOL::)
see you all there .. safe journey everyone..

I am thinking of getting bus to The Kelpies to meet up with the cyclists, then walking back with Lola, if anybody else is up to a 4 mile walk, or you could bus back (I might still :))

Don't think we could cope with the 8 mile round trip (in the rain :D)

We will be with you on Friday or Sunday for a few hours :) Will probably bring the bikes but not the kayaks (no roof rack yet for new car). Looking forward to it.

The weather will be typically Scottish, four seasons in a few minutes.
