Scottish meet 2025?
« on: August 20, 2025, 04:35:55 PM »
I did say way back that I would look at arranging another meet up in Scotland for the hardy forum members up here.
I've had a lot on my plate so not managed to do that yet. Just sounding people out to see if there is a desire for a meet in September or even early October.
The plan was to get together in the Carrbridge, Granton-on-Spey area.

Any interest?

I'm not available 19th/20th Sept, that's wedding anniversary, so more than my life's worth!

If I'm over that way at that time do you want to meet?

I'd be happy to meet up late August or September/October but can't do the middle of September a few days either side of September 16th..
It would be nice to meet you guys, 😉

Anyone heard from Orcadian, I understand that towards the end of last year he'd been in hospital?

Yes he is to the fore Hubert. Strange if he doesn’t chirp in shortly.😜

Hi folks.  Sorry that I've been quiet on this. Unfortunately I've  got a medical issue, like a few others are dealing with, and I'm just starting a course of radiotherapy.
I'll have to give the meetup a miss this year and try and arrange something next spring or early summer.

If you guys want to arrange a meetup anyway please go ahead. Just make sure you post some pics! 😁

Sorry to hear that Gareth,
Hope everything goes according to plan and that next year is better for all.
Yes, we've kind of missed the opportunity this year - there was talk of Carrbridge this year and Johnny has a contact there I believe.  One place where we could all meet and stay over would be a bonus and perhaps give opportunities for a ride(s) out and then a get-together afterwards.

Sorry to hear this Gareth, wish you all the best and hope all goes well. Yes time seem to pass us this year with one thing and another! Never managed to get off the island this year on the bike. Hopefully fingers crossed for 2026.

Sorry to hear this, all the best Gareth.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Thanks folks.  They tell me it's treatable with a good success rate, so that helps. 😁🤞

Did you make it up to Oban, Eldrick? If so how was your trip? IIRC the weather wasn't brilliant at the time.
