Anywhere sounds good to me, as long as the roads are not straight. Only kidding. I just enjoy the banter and good company so i will go anywhere.

**Craigk** · Monday 15th May 2006, 21:00

sounds good to me fraz, Matt you must of enjoyed the twisty roads

you'll not be used to them in suffolk lol. Would quite enjoy the drive north as never been any further than Inverness.

Oh we have bends in our roads, it's just there is usually a Tractor or Combine or Horse or the Polis or just another road user coming the other way. Unlike your roads where there was only the occasional tourist within 5 miles.

It would be lovely to have a visit in the height of summer and maybe later when it's Baltic.

I'd be up for coming but I'd defo need a passenger or 2 to keep the cost down and share the driving. Inverness is a long, long ways away.

**fraz13** · Tuesday 16th May 2006, 11:35

Inverness is 3 hours from here so depending on how far north we actually go you could add another 2-2.5 hours on that easy to Wick, Thurso and John o'Groats

Am thinkin this should be a Saturday/Sunday effort.....

Start getting time off work NOW!!!!! lol

Hi Fraz,

I meant to show you the Sunday Herald article on the 10 best drives in Scotland. One of them is out to Applecross which is one of the twistiest, heart stoppiest drives you can experience.

Some details here: http://chefmoz.org/United_Kingdom/Sc...088611950.html

I was thinking of organising a Saab weekend to experience it but a joint venture could be on the books....

**fraz13** · Tuesday 16th May 2006, 13:52

The reason behind the East coast meet is because of Norm (kdst5)

Norm has been to EVERY meet we have had which has involved 2-3 hour drive each way every time, The rest of us have had a meet in their local area so its only fair to head up North to sample his neck of the woods and give him a break from the driving all the way down here once again....

The Kyle of Lochalsh and Skye run is one I want to do as well but that will need to wait till another time...

Thanx for the ideas Gordy its deffo something I think we will do at another stage....

Get the Saab boys up for this one....

**d14vd_h** · Tuesday 16th May 2006, 17:48

but im up for whatever!

**JUDGENINJA** · Tuesday 16th May 2006, 17:54

I hope this doesn't interfere with the Bruntingthorpe meet...cos I want to make to the next Scottish meet....

**Matt30462** · Tuesday 16th May 2006, 18:11

How 'ya gettin' on then Fraser? Have to book my holiday you know. I've been trying to get the wife to stay in a tent for this trip but she's having none of it. Say's there's no way she'll crap in a bucket. I'm gonna keep trying......

Hello there, he can keep trying as well, I won't do it!!!

Mrs Matt just got hold of the lappy....Sorry where was I? Considering a Family trip for this one, however if Mrs Matt remains a stubborn old moo, that may proove difficult.
