My first hoon, even though the meeting place is only 20 mins from my house

My pictures are crap as i was spending too much time gassing and driving, but as something to whet the appetite while the pros are doing their thing (or driving home)

If you've never been north of the border, you really do need to come visit

[ChrisS1]

Good pics There's some atrocious parking going on there!

[CocoPops]

More pics pls!

[LazyDonkey]

Alas i didnt take any more as i didnt have a passenger and i was too busy gassing. Most of the englanders took loads, as did Bob so hopefully more coming soon. ...although the englanders are still a LONG way from home tonight.

So was rusty the furthest englander?

[LazyDonkey]

Think so - when i left them in Inverness he'd already done over 1k miles. Even i did 789 miles. To be precise If you're interested our rough route was.... Day 1 - Stirling to Kyleakin on the Isle Of Skye Day 2 - Skye to Durness (via Applecross) Day 3 - Durness to Inverness then over the cairngorms back to Stirling.

Ahhh, brings back memories from last year, those roads I reckon Mark (mbes) has got to be up there with travelling the furthest.

[Nelly Vx]

Will see if I can post some pics when we get home tomorrow . Done 1030 miles since Thursday and STILL buzzing :-D

I'm just back in the hoose, so I'll take a look at mine in a bit. Got a few of yours at the castle Donkey.

Castle Donkey. It's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

I reckon Mark (mbes) has got to be up there with travelling the furthest.

I think me and Mark would have travelled pretty much identical distances! Although I'm home now and too my best of knowledge he's still in Glenrothes.

Link to my journey today (Roughly)

Tired now.

Edit: Donkey, looking at it again, I've done today virtually what you did over the whole weekend! Role on next year is all I'm saying!

Thanks again for those who organised it all

How was the trip over the mountains? The A9 was hairy enough as it was ! EDIT : Annoyed i didnt take more pictures now as the quality from my new phone seems excellent !

It was pretty horrible all the way to the Manchester area then it all dried up (probably the only reason I carried on to be fair), The Forth bridge was interesting I certainly would not want to be driving a lorry over that!
