I am supposed to be Karting on Saturday 30th, but seeing if it can be brought forward 24 hours.
What's the route plan....?

Hey Scouse!
Welcome along! - it'll be great if you can make it- please try!
At this point, the plan is obscure-but I have today put out feelers for a specific destination that I have in mind and am awaiting a response.
Hope to have a concept within the week...
Watch this space... That's the plan, but with a herd of girl wannabe karters at scotkart, may prove difficult, but we will see....

Hi folks!
Great to see list growing.
I've been in hospital again and had a wee procedure. Now in the recovery stage and unable to drive still.
I've been asked if destination is flexible but to be honest I'll still be off work and don't want to be driving too far so staying local and welcoming visitors would be my preference.
Please don't let me hold back any plans that might attract fellow coupsters from further afield though.
I'll keep an eye on the thread and hopefully I'll be fitter and able to come along.
Dee

If non-coupes are welcome, I'll try and free up space to make it along. I spent my first few years just down the road in Innellan.

Nice Steel Grey on ebay just now...2.0 20v n/a 1998 low mileage sitting at £820.00 although reserve not met...not mine lol Innellan is a lovely end of the peninsular and where I initially wanted to stay but ended up at the top end with lovely views over the Holy Loch.

Hey, everyone and Dee especially, sorry to hear you have had a bit of a setback but hope you are now on the right track. Of course, guys, organise something close to Dee, I am sure it will be a great tonic for her to see the coupes and enjoy your company. If I can't make it because it is too far south, no worries, we will all meet up for a longer road trip later.
I'll keep an eye out for where you decide and see what is possible, but running the business makes it hard to get away at this time of year for more than a couple of days. (Which just about gets me down to John O Groats !!!!)

How do folk feel about Callander..? Unless I've got this wrong silver_fox might not be up for this......happy to be corrected. Alternatively perhaps there could be TWO meets

How do folk feel about Callander..? That certainly works for us, only 2.15 hours drive from Aberdeen ferry. We dock at 0700 am so can easily make a day of it. As I said before, happy to go with the flow, especially for Dee and catch up with you all another time. Maybe Simon is onto something with two meets.

Could everyone stretch to something like Aberfoyle or Balloch ?
Thoughts please
We 'might' just be able to tease out a result here...!

Why thank you sir..... After a flashback of nearly 50 years it dawned on me that somewhere off the track as it were is up near the Sma' Glen along the Perth/Methven/Glenalmond/Amulree route Proposed Route first of all lunching at Pitcairngreen Inn I think silver_fox will probably join us at a more local meet to her at a later date

That works for us, booking ferries tomorrow. Simon, can you give me a rough idea of when you think we will finish the drive, it will help me to work out how far north we can get after and therefore where to book accommodation for the Saturday night.? What I factored in was you having the option to split at Ballinluig on the A9 and head north while the rest of us turn back towards Central belt (except maybe jimbob13). If lunch is at 1.00 we should aim for 1245 to meet up - is that do-able for you? Allow an hour + and leave at 2.30-ish for the 44-mile trip as far as Ballinluig, which in theory is 1 hr 15 mins but factoring in stops could add an hour + on top of that.....so we could say 5.00 p.m. at Ballinluig?

Thanks very much. Yes, no problem meeting at 12.45. In fact we will probably be there well before as we arrive in Aberdeen at 0700. We will have a look round the local area.
Rest of the day works out fine too. Once again, thanks for your help as always Aarrgghh Tourists !!!! No space on Aberdeen boat for normal people. Not to be deterred. Now leaving from Stronsay 0730 to get Pentalina to Gills on 29th. Drive down, overnight, meet up, drive up, overnight, drive up, two ferries and home Sun 31st at 20.30 How much do I love you guys ???

Gosh can you make ferries on the same evening as the do our drive? It's a horrible thought but you do realise the meet is on the Sunday....?

Silver fox suggested Saturday not Sunday, then everyone signed up for the 30th which in my diary is a Saturday. Very expensive mistake if you are not joking.
