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.

Break the journey halfway, makes it less painful. 😁

Hi,
I think a few of us up her would be up for it - I'm away mid May to early June but OK rest of time,
Ian
That would be great Ian. 👍

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.

Yes Ted, that was me in the old photo. I was 3 or 4.
And no, just Imperial screw cutting gears. Will see about getting metric.

Have you still got the Myford Garath? Best tool in any workshop 👍
Not that one, my dad upgraded to a Super 7 some years later. That one is in my workshop now. Lovely bit of kit, just not had much time to use it yet. Here it is. 👍

Where's the warm feeling of satisfaction and achievement in that! (Whereas keeping a tenner in your wallet...now there's a fine feeling,).🙂
Are you sure you're not Scottish?

The teacher who took me for metalwork, woodwork, TD and motor engineering worked on Concorde as a design engineer. A very talented man who built a harpsichord in his lunch hours and when it was finished he would play it in his lunch hour! He had us building a hovercraft in an after school club. We put a Villiers two stroke engine in it from an invalid car, the school was given three of them by the government for our motor engineering class when they were recalled for safety reasons. All this in a comprehensive school in Acton👍
I wish that I'd had a metalwork teacher like that! Luckily I had a good teacher at home. 👍
