Write Up Scottish Heather run 17th and 18th August 24

[Nodzed]

Great photos all, and a great weekend with great company, thanks @Stevo7682 and @Mrs Stevo.

I only took one photo and my official photographer hasn't shared hers with me.

Just to add our thanks to Stephen & Lynne for organising yet another superb weekend. We had a great time catching up with old friends and making new ones too. Communication channels we obviously opened with the weather gods as we were roofs down all the time. We stayed an extra day to meet up with friends on Monday so I was chasing following a BoxsterS in the pouring rain as the good weather finished on Monday morning.
Great roads, great company and great weather, what's not to like

A few pics from me...

The Heather looks great and for such a small group you had a great selection of Zed's - can't believe you were fortunate enough to bump in to the Postman Pat forum members outing as well

We followed them for a while, total PITA, they kept stopping every 20 yards

So here's my picture collection of the run.
Friday zed all washed and waxed ready to go couple of obligatory pictures on the coast road on way into Ayr to pick up Lynne

Friday night all the zeds tucked up in the carpark ready for the next day.

Saturday only pictures when stopped now from me.
First coffee break at Carsphairn

After Carsphairn the lunch stop will be somewhere those who have been on one of the last 2 spring runs will recognise The Friars Carse.

Then after lunch it was through the Durisdeer pass and Mennock pass to hopefully see the heather looking decent attracted the attention of some of the locals

Not seen this for years! Loving the use of bastarding who knew it was a verb, hee hee
