Scotland Visit 2010

**Trigger** · **Trigger** on Tue Nov 24, 2009 12:19 am

Starting Thursday 27th May 2010

We are planning our first Club tour to Scotland hosted by our Scottish Snippets man - Jim Grant. The date will be from Thursday 27th May 2010 with two options of either a long weekend or continuing on for a full week-long tour up into the Scottish Highlands.

........................................................................................................................................................................

The first stopover point will be Grangemouth or Falkirk which is about 330 miles from Paul Matty Sportscars in Bromsgrove.

From then on the itinerary will include some of Scotland's fantastic West Coast scenery driving on traffic-free and challenging roads.

There are to be many opportunities to enjoy fine food, stop for regular tea and coffee breaks, see stunning countryside and enjoy the complete experience of driving in Scotland.

Visits will include the famous lochs and castles, David Coulthard, Jimmy Clark and Bo'ness car museums, along with a visit to Knockhill Race Circuit.

The full itinerary and details will be listed soon, so please reserve your place by contacting Chris Mayhew (events organiser) as soon as possible at christophermayhew@btinternet.com

CAM wrote:Dear All,
I am planning to travel up on the Thursday arriving late afternoon with the idea of a welcome dinner Thursday night. I will only be up for the long weekend and intend to drive south on Monday and back to work on Tuesday.
We chose this time because of the school holidays, but I do appreciate the hotels/B&B's will be busier/dearer.
Jim Grant is working on the final route plus accomodation, which I hope to post early/middle of Jan 2010. We then all need to book up pronto to secure the rooms.
Best wishes & a very Happy New Year.
Chris Mayhew

Nice one Chris ... look forward to the details.

2010 has started at a pace and despite the snow we are busy tweaking and planning the LDC events for the year.

Why not join us for this exciting tour of Scotland at the end of May. You can do a long weekend or the extended west coast tour for a week.

This promises to be a great oportunity to stretch the legs of your Lotus and visit some spectacular places. Our long term LDC man - Jim Grant (Scottish Snippets in Chicane) is busy working on the itinery.

We should have details of hotels and full route etc very soon so if you are looking for a great touring holiday then book your place with Chris Mayhew a.s.a.p.

Cheers, Tim.
