Evening Run

aarrgghhh !!!!  I forgot/ thought it was next week . Hope you all had a great time

Hope it goes well troops! Take loads of pictures. Would be good if someone could write it up too to get a wee half page article in the mag

Cheers,

I'll join you guys as well.

Though I'm firmly in support of meetings on other than a Sunday, I doubt if I'll make it.  It depends on work, if I'm there, I'm there.  I'm only 10 minutes away from the Waterside

Just a note for those planning to go through East Kilbride.  Don't.  The East Kilbride - Strathaven (A726 I think) road is closed about Chapelton.
The official diversion - through Hamilton - is  pants.  The unofficial diversion is superb roads, but takes about 15 minutes.  After the Torrance Roundabout, turn first right into the small country road, follow that to a T Junction.  Turn right. Follow the road through Leaburn and pick up the signs for Darvel or Strathaven, turning left - there's a few options that get you to the same place.  Up and over the hills and on hitting the main road turn left for Strathaven.  You can turn left earlier - when it seems you are about 2 thirds of the way back down the hill and it gets you into Strathaven.

Enjoy.

For those with sat nav address is :- Waterside Inn , 31 , Waterside Road , Strathaven , ML10 6AW .

 Excellent, put me down. I'm a fussy git on food though

Meeting at The Waterside Inn Strathaven at 7pm heading off about 7:30pm and hopefully be back at the waterside for about 8:30pm.

My mate has said he will put on a wee something for us for £5 ahead. i'll find out more nearer the time.

I need numbers for firday

Sounds like a great idea guys Can you put my name down for this too please.

John and my sis would like to come in the E30 too if there's room for another car, if not they'll both be in mine.

Thanks,

Stuart.

Ok Chaps & Chapett's !!! Here is the route that Gary has worked out :-

Strathhaven onto the B7086 for Kirkmuirhill , onto the A72 through Lanark to Carstairs , then right onto the A721 through Newbiggin until it crosses with the A702 , turn right towards Bigger , on through the village of Coulter , then onto Abington where there is a petrol Station if you require fuel.

We would then head North on the B7078 (the old A74 ) through Douglas & on towards Kirkmuirhill then back onto the B7086 back to Strathhaven .

It has also been arranged for a stop at the Beautiful "Waterside Inn " either before or after the run for a wee chat & a bite to eat . As Dunc has pointed out "this is not a race " therefore "Safe Driving " is of utmost importance  . Numbers will be limited to 10-12 cars but you can bring along passengers as you need !

The date as posted is 16th April ( time to be determined ) If this is your "bag" please post here a.s.a.p as we need to contact the Waterside Inn with numbers . Also as said if this is a success then other mid - week runs to various locations will be organized through the Summer months.
