So we are a lot closer to getting a full itinerary up now. Mike, Neil, Jethro and I spent most of today getting things sorted, however Mike and Neil had a lot arranged already as they started at 9am, when I eventually dragged myself out of bed in the afternoon I helped plan one of the activities in my BMW, oh the irony... Took Reffro's S8 for a spin, not a wise move. Made the BMW feel cheap and slow. This meet is going to be great, get your names down guys. It's going to be interesting to see how long I can stay D2'less, not very at this rate...

Wondered if attendees might want to swap mobile numbers and routes in case any of us need assistance of some sort on the way down? Or even a meet along the way.

I'm Glasgow M8, M74, Penrith, A66, A1, M1 (around Leeds), Leicester, M69 and there we are.

I'm leaving Helensburgh around 11am - 12 noon on Friday. Call me on 0774 009 6231 if you're on or around that route
