Title: SOHC meet in Scotland
Post by: taysidedragon on February 07, 2024, 01:04:09 PM
Last year I suggested a meet up in Scotland for forum members, particularly those that live in more remote parts and don't travel too far down South. We don't want to be corrupted by the Southern Softies! 😉

Just kidding, the arthritis stops me from riding too far these days. The joys of reaching retirement age.

So, if anybody fancies meeting up, I suggest The Crieff Visitor Centre, PH7 4HQ on 29th or 30th June.
It's fairly central Scotland and has a large free car park, restaurant and facilities. It's a regular stop off for me when out for a ride.

There is plenty of accommodation in Crieff and surrounding area if anybody needs to stay over or are touring Scotland at the same time.

Nothing is set in stone, so date and place are flexible.

That’s 450 miles from me.

But only 20 miles from Little Dunkeld, which is where my great grandfather was from.

One day I will visit.

Good stuff, Hubert. 👍

If there are no objections the meet up will be on Sunday 30th June.
I'll be there from about 1100 onwards. Looking forward to meeting everyone who can make it.

Hi Gareth,
If all goes to plan I will be back in plenty of time from my little jaunt to Germany and Austria on the Forza, so should be able to use the 550 for the trip.  I think I might stay somewhere nearby for a night either side.  How long were you planning on staying after we've all got fed and watered?  I could probably stay at my Sister's place in Aberdeenshire and catch the Ferry home  the next day

Hi Ian,
I can stay all afternoon as required.  I'm less than 2hours from Crieff.

Teenybop, we can always do it again if people want to.

Is there any chance it could be on Saturday 29th as I can make it there and back in a day, on Sundays the ferries are ten and four making it necessary to stay over two nights to be there...if that's convenient with the others of course

I'm OK with that. Will that be a problem for anyone else?
If anybody has made bookings and can't change them, we'll stick to 30th.
