What time were you thinking of Campbell? I will be travelling down with Gary and possibly Kinger and it’s a 6-7 hour drive from Aberdeen.

How about picking somewhere in the Borders and we could meet up there? Something like Moffat around 14:00 would be good for me and Gary to stop and have lunch to break up the journey.

Only a suggestion and happy to go with the flow.

Just Tom this time.

Last year it looks as though you guys went to Curry 2 Night and Cheshire Tandori.

Happy with these again? I am happy to arrange a booking. :thumbsup

Great starter for 10 Steve. Then 4 hrs Moffat to East Midlands Prem Inn, via M6 or A66+A1M (latter pairing is my pref)

Could you make Moffat an hour earlier for 1300?

Also...
Alternatively we can do A7 or A68 (ish) to get across the border, and lunch on that route instead. Happy to research.

Slightly more speed cams than A701 to Moffat tho. Doesn’t bother me but the 90 Mph brigade might wish m-way all the way.

I expect we could manage Moffat for 13:00, but will talk to Gary first.

Happy to do a more scenic run through the Borders for a while, then take the main road down after lunch.

The return journey home on the Tuesday night will be the direct boring route, so a good idea to make the outward route across some decent roads.

Ok as a starter I have booked a table of 15 at 7pm for the Sunday night - assumes we have some stragglers.

I have then booked a table for 7.30pm on the Monday night which should give us enough time to arrive and get changed etc and head down.

Looking forward to it. :thumbsup

11 mins according to google maps so good first guess. ImageImage

Hi Ed, do you mean Saturday? The track is Mon/Tue, unless I am wrong (as usual!).

Anyway, see you all there, yes please for curry bookings.

Re: routes, if I leave in time I'll do the A697 but way more likely I'll leave late and have to hack down the A701/M6.
