Write Up Scottish Heather run 17th and 18th August 24

Great photos all, and a great weekend with great company, thanks @Stevo7682 and @Mrs Stevo. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I only took one photo and my official photographer hasn't shared hers with me. 🤷‍♂️

Just to add our thanks to Stephen & Lynne for organising yet another superb weekend. We had a great time catching up with old friends and making new ones too. Communication channels we obviously opened with the weather gods as we were roofs down all the time. We stayed an extra day to meet up with friends on Monday so I was chasing following a BoxsterS in the pouring rain as the good weather finished on Monday morning.
Great roads, great company and great weather, what's not to like:thumbsup:

A few pics from me...

The Heather looks great and for such a small group you had a great selection of Zed's - can't believe you were fortunate enough to bump in to the Postman Pat forum members outing as well ;)
