This year will be the fourth outing in the sunny Scottish Borders. Last years thread is to be found here.
Run date is Sunday 7th September 2008
There are now what looks like 30 ish cars on this run, so it's gonna be big'un, that's for sure.
Some more details on the run...
The Run starts in Galashiels (ASDA Car Park), then meanders over some terrific hills out the Yarrow and Ettrick valleys, then we head over to Newtown St Boswells for Lunch. Newtown itself is not exactly picturesque, but Milestone Garden & Leisure are very hospitable and the food is top nosh! They are working on a special choice menu for us and I should have those details soon. it won't be a pick-before-you-come menu, but it will be a restricted choice from their usual menu, taking into account there are now something like 50 people on the run!
In the afternoon we loop around the Eildon Hills (my backyard) and then off across the countryside through Kelso (very picturesque) then up to Gordon and along the bottom of the Lammermuir hills towards Westruther, then back down into Galashiels for drinkies (soft for the drivers) at a local hotel.
We would ask you all to gather at ASDA car park in Gala from 10AM, and we'll be heading off at 10.30AM. Lunch will be about 12:30 and the afternoon session starting between 1.30 to 2pm. We're aiming to be back at the hotel in Galashiels for around 4.30pm.
The run is 130miles total. That's assuming no-one gets lost and heads off towards Glasgow or something daft like that.
Update: Friday 15th August - Lunch Details
Milestone have asked me to put forward a restricted lunch menu (taking into account there could be 50 odd folk going for lunch all at once). But they have stressed the usual menu is still available if you don't fancy something which is on this menu. it would help to get us all served quicker and back out on the roads if you are able to stick to this menu.
