Shurely Dufftown, Tomintoul, Lecht, Glenshee would be the preferred route...

What route are you taking to get there digger?
A convoy of cars of any description is OK by me. Dont have to be in a Lotus to have fun...
Reference made to Burger King worries me a little. We are meeting at ASDA, Bridge of Dee. As far as I am aware there is no Burger King there..

type 'Bridge of Dee Aberdeen' into Google and all will become clear....
there is an ASDA at the beach but that is the wrong one
Martin
There is a burger king or mcdonalds in ASDA at the bridge of dee next to the dry ski slopes / boots/b+q/sainsburys....
I like and work about 1 or 2 miles away so I do know where it is

It is McDonalds that is inside:

It would be but that would mean getting up even earlier and that's not going to happen as I'll have a semi comatose 13yo to drag out his bed at 5 am as is!

I obviously do not get out enough.
Had no idea there was a McDonalds in ASDA at the BoDee. Try to keep away from 'Rotten Ronnies' as both my children work in the one at the BoDon and the smell on their clothes at the end of a shift is enough to put you off fast food for at least a few minutes

Might have to make an exception in the morning.

Planning to head down to the Chinese again for the lunch. Anyone wants to join us?
See you all tomorrow.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

It's in Dunfermline about 15mins drive from KH. Usually 8-12 of us go there after the track session.

I'm not sure what time the MCD's opens, I'd imagine around 6ish. An egg mcmuffin and coffee is always a good way to start the day
I will probably opt for a bowl of oats and a can of red bull though. Maybe grab a bacon butty at KH. Looking forward to this now, just away to give the car a quick clean, wheels are caked in break dust after last weeks run.

Never been in a Mac's and not going to start now. Bacon butty and coffee at KH.
Mass, if Verian can get back home early afternoon for the dogs after visiting Ian, then I would be up for the Chinese.

ps:- car just back from it's MOT, rear MMC pads low, but have spares with me.

Car washed, all fluids etc checked. Small air compressor checked. Just stocked up on some red bull for the morning. Just need to brim the car with fuel but will do this in the morning.
I am assuming we will be passing the shell garage just outside dollar en-route?

Tut, is there any chance of a pax lap or two early in the day? I haven't been round knockhill in a good 18months so a refresher of lines etc would be a huge help.
I heard you are the one to talk to for pax laps

Happy to take you around guys, early is a good idea whilst she is still a goer.
Jump in after the warm up laps, a few months since I have been on track myself.
