ScoobieFloz 15,687 Posted October 8, 2017 Tweaked the route to account for fuel ? Looks like there is only 1 non-V Power stop over the whole weekend ? Link to comment
ScoobieFloz 15,687 Posted October 20, 2017 I am not sure when others are leaving and which way they are going but I will be leaving the wonderful Midlands Friday morning and will be stopping at Penrith Shell garage, (the Scoob will be a little parched by then) I aim to get there for 13:00 and then head up to Glasgow (Paisley) and get there for about half past 3. If anyone wants to meet up along the way let me know. Link to comment
STImulation 133 Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Just to confirm, is this the Penrith Shell garage you'll be filling up @ - https://en-gb.facebook.com/ShellPenrith/ ? Edited October 22, 2017 by stimulation Link to comment

ScoobieFloz 15,687 Posted October 25, 2017 A slight scare when I heard a slight noise coming from the front wheel garage has inspected and cleaned it all up and no more noise Link to comment
The Don 40 Posted October 25, 2017 Just noticed you are doing Applecross in reverse to how it's been done before - should be interesting Link to comment
ScoobieFloz 15,687 Posted October 25, 2017 What would be really interesting is doing it IN reverse Link to comment
