Probably roundabout 7.30 to be down for 9. You want to meet up when i get down your way? I'll probably be needing a pit-stop by then, after all, thats why God put Dundee on the map, so the Aberdonians would have somewhere to stop and p*ss on their way to Edinburgh lol, only joking mate.

very good, thats funny!
:roll:

Slap, sounds good. I know the road through Dundee well enough but not too sure where the swallow is though. Had a look at the map and guessing you're meaning the second last roundabout as you're leaving Dundee?

Xtreme, see you at the bridge for about 8.15ish

by **slapshotDTSneil** on Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:20 pm

100 yards past last roundabout, at start of a90 dundee to perth, before the big bp station is slip road for invergowrie, also an unofficial lorry park, it exits onto a90 again just 50 yards before the bp.

by **dave-mr2-frontera** on Thu Jan 31, 2008 9:11 pm

great weather hope it clears up for sunday tho. snowing major here 20 mins from lamacha. was off roading the other day and riped muy exhaust off so its going to be noisey up there lol. try set out a really hard and challaging part of the course for more experanced 4wders lol :twisted:

by **slapshotDTSneil** on Thu Jan 31, 2008 9:34 pm

i know all about the snow that way today, the wagon (with load of live salmonella bacteria in the back) broke down on the m9, loud whining noise from engine (which is a vaux 2.5td), smoke billowing out of engine and up through gearstick, oil all over ground! i stood on the hard shoulder for about an hour in the gale force winds and blizzard snow waiting on the recovery truck, im still thawing out! got a iveco 3.0td 6 speed hire wagon now and it moves alright, lol!

anyway, plenty snow forecast for tomorrow and saturday, easing on sunday but still windy, so by sunday should be quite white at lamancha! :twisted:

by **vaux_2** on Fri Feb 01, 2008 12:31 am

Well not a spot of snow in Aberdeen, actually pretty mild at the mo.

I know the layby you're on about. I'll be there for somewhere between 7 and quater past
