Hi All

You will notice the slight change in title, that's because we have been offered the most fabulous location to hold this mini meet, in the beautiful South West of Scotland, about 12 miles north west of Dumfries, it's not too far over the border. (I am a Scottish lass living in Northumberland and I actually live slightly further north than this location!)

Our hosts for the weekend will be Andy & Maya, some of you may have went to their talk at Ripley to hear about their sidecar trip in South America. The meet will be on the weekend of 27th/28th October - apologies to those who have already said they can't make that weekend.

They have plenty room for any number of people who would like to attend, just bring your tent as normal. Food will be provided over the weekend and the costs shared between those who attend. They are prepared to organise the drink (, lager) for Friday & Saturday night but we will need to know what your tipple is. If you would prefer to bring your own, that's ok just let us know.

There are plenty good roads and gravel trails in the vicinity for a ride out and the scenery is beautiful.

I hope that you can come along and that we might get a few of the Scottish brigade coming along.

If interested, please post and let us know so we have numbers.

Debz hope you get a few more going up - I will be coming up maybe even with Helen but I doubt i will be doing any off-roading this time round. As for drinks I will bring my own. Is the camping in a field/farm/garden or what -are fires allowed etc. just so I know for cooking and moreso for keeping warm in the evenings more so if we are sitting outside at the end of october its can be chilly and damp up there. Jake.

alec if you want to break your run up your welcome to stay over at mine on thursday evening or on the way back if it helps you out. Jake.

Sounds good, count me in. I really need something to take my mind off the fact that I've only been home a week and somehow I'm going back to work tomorrow!!

Hope to make it, should be fine though I would prob come down Sat for one night. I'd also be up for chipping in for communal food too though most likely will bring my own booze.

Cheers

I'm Scottish (but living in England) so you won't be alone! Had hoped that a few more of our country folks might have come along with it being in Scotland but never mind.

I'll post directions soon. See you on the Saturday

I am hoping to come along arriving on the Friday. Is there anyone else going to be camping? I'm also happy to chip in for everything. I'll confirm next week.

Are there any nearby B&B - just in case!

Hi Rob

We'll all be camping. Andy & Maya have a pretty big garden and if we need more space they can get the use of the big field behind them, so no worries.

Hopefully see you there.

Hi G

Yes, it's open to everyone, the more the merrier, just bring your tent along and join in the fun. Will you be coming Friday or Saturday and will you be partaking in communal food & booze?
