Anyone in the Aberdeen or Inverness area up for a wee gathering around Sun 19th to Friday 24th August?

I'm up at a wedding in Blairgowrie the week before, and then spending the following week visiting people I know (relatives, friends, god parents, etc) living in Dunfirmline, Ardersier and near Beauly (W of Inverness). I haven't yet made any firm plans, but looks like Edinburgh on the Saturday 18th, then a bit of travelling around.

Is anyone up for a meet in the Aberdeen area? It would be good to see one of the Mattys again (which one?), Dude and his tart (that's correct isn't it, Tartandude?) Che (who missed the FCCUK Christmas bash and the Bobbs and Scooby wedding), Mr B and his photograph habit, and any of the other Aberdeen crew. I hear you are all very generous and warm-hearted up there?

Jim,

Yes should be around at some point then, will see what we can get arranged.

The only issue may be that ironically I might be in Birmingham picking up my car from Motormech around then but we shall see

Yes I'm sure we can arrange something.

Yup, sounds good to me!

Well Alison will be in Birmingham that week!!
(Not well at the moment - first week away should be OK, but second week will be too much for her).

How about 19th August? Trying to make a plan for the two weeks I should be up in Scotland before, and planning to be in Edinburgh on Saturday, church (kirk?) Sunday morning with a friend in Dunfermline, then shoot up to Aberdeen or Stonebridge.

Any suggestions for a place to meet, stuff to do? How about sunbathing on Aberdeen beach? I have my thermals with me!!

Balmedie Beach is far nicer

Just need to check with what Im doing then as above

How about Bervie beach...............plenty of parking too

If i wasnt away that weekend, i would join you guys. Hope you have a good weekend.

Ross

Shall we all park on the grass again Kev?

Yes, I'm around, so what's the plan?

When do you get up Jim, and how long you around for?

And don't believe anything you hear about the Aberdeen lot, they are all miserable barstewards who wouldn't give you the time of day

I’m looking like I’m going to be away I’m afraid. And also my coupe is having a functioning problem in that it doesn’t. Again.

Does that mean your free the weekend before matt?

Ross

Che:

Cheers - plan as per above. I'm up in Blarigowrie from 11th to 18th. On 18th I'm visiting a friend in Dunfermline, and staying overnight. 19th looks free from lunch(ish) (how long from Dunfermline to Aberdeen?), and then I head off to Beauly and Ardersier. Start heading home around the 24th.

Don't worry - my Grandfather was an Aberdonian so he has told me what they are really like!!

Grandfather words " Tight arsed buggers "

Gaid job I'm nae fae Eberdeen then !

We need to get something sorted before I go off-line on Saturday 10th. Do we have a plan?

Is Sunday 19th the best suggestion? I see that Dunfermline is a good 2 hrs from Aberdeen, so can't get there until 14:00, or we could meet further south.

Anyone got any ideas on where to meet? Somewhere to eat? A route for a drive?

Anyone got a mobile number so I can keep in touch next week, if needed?

Looking forward to seeing the colourful granite buildings of Aberdeen again!!

And who is up for this (car permitting?).

Im working Sunday Morning/early afternoon so probably won't be available until 2ish..

Oh and will pm you my number Jim

I still don’t know if I’m here or away (I wish someone would make their mind up and let me know ). However I do hope to have a functioning coupe in the near future.

Hooray!


I will know for certain if I can make it the day before............best I can do although late afternoon should be ok

Cheers, Kev. It would be good to see another NA there, amongst the hooligan turbo contingent!!

Hey Im driving an NA at the moment

OK, only one more day on line. Any ideas for lunch? Can someone sort out a post lunch route?

Jim,

I may have to meet you after lunch in any case as Im working but there are a few places you could eat. Have we got a meeting place yet at all?

I won't have my coop but will either take the golf or the brabus so will be able to get to wherever you are one way or another

You guys not organised this yet?

How about 'Bervie to meet, Stonehaven for food (or the Bervie chipper?) then over the slug road?

oooh, me me me! I'll be here and my coupe is even working too. A rare occasion to be enjoyed.

Che - sounds good. Where in Bervie? I will try to be there before 2:00.

Can someone invite MrB? He has been off-line since 27th July, so I guess he is on hols somewhere.

I was only joking when I mentioned Bervie ,but if you insist
and it is a bit of a hike for me

forgot to say there is also a chipper/restaurant in Gourdon now......

Really? Any good Kevin, and are they getting regular supplies of nice fresh seafood?

The Bervie car park is pretty good size wise and easy to find, so it's easy from that point of view.

For heavens sake chaps, keep off the grass this time.
