scottish meet up 2018 (5-7th Oct 2018)

[seth]

Nearer the time give me an idea of the north part of the route and approx times as I might come meet you north of Edinburgh and take you all through fife and a couple of back roads to dunkeld instead of you sitting on the motorway .
Depending on timings. We have a table booked at 7.30 for all with a surprise at the end.

THE BILL 

[seth]

Oh yes but with a big twist to it .

[Speedy1959]

Only thing I would say is try to keep away from the Edinburgh bypass (A720)and forth road bridge(M90) around rush hour in the Friday 2.30-4.30 as traffic is bonkers but better on the bike if your ok with filtering.

Oooh Dear..
Ask any of my mates about me and filtering and you will see I am NOT a fan of it !
I am thinking of leaving home around 10am..
But can be crack of dawn if you want.
I am perfect with early starts but not so good at late nights..

You'll really enjoy the ride up I'm sure .
It can get busy at the busy times around Edinburgh and Glasgow .I'd rather come up on A roads rather than motorways.but if times getting tight then motorways are go.
From Nottingham I can get here in 6 hours on the roads I've mentioned .
Remember you've got big fuel tanks so only need to stop when you want .

[Blubber]

I am going for an early start too,

Leave on Wednesday

You're paying the bill?

[seth]

If I told you it wouldn't be a suprise

[Red Biker]

Surprise!
Table top dancing in just kilts and snoods?

[KiwiCol]

It'll be a fecken Haggis! You guys are gonna have to eat Haggis!

Give me a Paua any day.

[seth]

Haggis is still in season but not for hunting only for eating .
I'm a mega fussy eater but actually like haggis (Only wild ones not farmed as that's cruel)

If you've never tried it you should .

That's not the surprise tho .

[KiwiCol]

That's like sayin ya should try Black Pudding or White Pudding if you've never tried it.  No thanks.  No doubt there'll be a few over that way that like them though.

[Speedy1959]

I must admit once upon a time I had not tried Haggis..
Partly because I had never had the opportunity and partly because I really did not like the sound of it..

Then I had the chance and discovered I REALLY liked it!
For you who have never tried it I can say its similar to spicy sausage..
If its on offer I will have it for sure.

Haggis,two slices of Stornaway black pudding topped with 2 lightly poached eggs,,,heaven..

Haggis is one of those things that sounds crap but is actually really nice when you eat it.  Can you think of any other thing you thought sounded crap but turned out to be good
