Neil do you have an action plan? Edited May 22, 2009 by micra_wrc
4Hero Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Checking the weather forecast for tomorrow, it's not looking very promising You going on Sunday Imy? Could meet up with you then if you are? Gus, I might take a shot or two
micra_wrc Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 nah not going on Sunday Grant and I are manning the McRae Vision stand in Duns tomorrow so wont even be floating about to catch any stages. i'll send you a goat with my mobile number, ping me a text in the morning if you want to meet up.
4Hero Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Imy, decided to go (my camera/lenses/me are waterproof after all ). 7.30 at Deer Park then? No action plan, just need to find a decent spot or two and I'll be happy.
4Hero Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 cool, see you then (I presume you know where you are going )

My car was only a couple of months old and I was struggling to keep up with you! Just as well I'm bringing the scooby tomorrow, and not the C2 thing
grantr Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I'm going down Sunday from Edinburgh if you want to tail me down. Prob do Ayton 1 & 2 and maybe Harehead 2 on way back if I can find the turn off on the A1. Also depending on the weather, not a lot of fun if it hoses it down, done many JC's in the wet and the worst thing is it decimates the field. Was thinking of going tomorrow but landed a free ticket for the Heinekin Cup final at Murrayfied tomorrow so...
4Hero Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Sounds like a plan man, someone who knows where they are going, woohoo Where do you fancy meeting on Sunday, and what time?
grantr Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Might also be meeting someone else so that'll likely be the shell station at Deghorn on the Edinburgh bypass. Road closes at Ayton at 10.30 and we'll be parked up right at the stage so maybe about 9.30? Few choices at this spot, either Ayton Castle as the backdrop or there is a series of 2 S bends where they join the main road. There's also a farm section and a little railway bridge that the top guys might just lift the wheels on. Will meet one of the pro rally photo boys down there with any luck, if he doesn't know where to go for the best shots no-one will! If we get to Harehead its a hairpin so bring the wide lens!

4Hero Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Nice one grant, see you then! Already got the gear packed, 10-22, 17-40 and a couple of others

Sunday,9.30 @ Shell,Dreghorn... 1) GrantR 2) Someone else grant is meeting 3) 4Hero 4) marky.t.s
4Hero Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 9.30? We were there for 9'ish this morning and roads were closed (even though they said they would be closed at 10am).. 1) GrantR 2) Someone else grant is meeting 3) 4Hero 4) marky.t.s 5) Spooks & Rosie (correct me if I'm wrong folks ) Earlier could be better...
grantr Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Road closes at 10.30, first Historic at 11.05, first National at 11.45, certainly wouldn't go any earlier than 9.15. Only 45 minute drive, and should get parked right at the stage. Always have here in the past. Edited May 23, 2009 by GrantR
