October Meet, Edinburgh Area ? 5/10/14

[Cambell]

An active BMW forum I'm on is organising (I'm organising) a drive and a bite to eat, everybody is welcome.

The plan is to meet at Granada Services carpark just off the A1 near Musselburgh at 10:00 to leave at 10:30 heading over the Lammermuir Hills stopping at Eyemouth for about 12:15 for a coffee or a bite to eat.

Leave Eyemouth around 13:15 and head to the Myreton Motor Museum for 14:00 for a look round. After that we will head home.

Add your name plus number of passengers to the list if you are attending so I can let the museum know how many to expect.

[Cambell]

Let me know what time at the Showcase car park.

I will do, Like I said at the beginning of this thread, there will be guys from another forum there. Without wanting to break any rules of this one, I can PM you details and you could keep an aye on things at your convenience. ??

[mickl3008]

Cheers mate, see you on the 5th

[Cambell]

Its a shame Lee cant make it , next time maybe.

Did the recce trip tonight, The timings are conservative as they were easily achieved whilst driving behind tractors and in thick fog with 30ft of visibility. Trying to drive at a pace that didn't waste time but stay completely safe was a real challenge which I really enjoyed. If its a nice clear day, we'll be in Eyemouth in plenty of time.

Parking is limited in Eyemouth and is probably best kept to the spaces at the amusements and at the Co op. The "Milk Bar" I propose we eat in is just a minutes walk from the car park. Its not "The Balmoral", its an Ice Cream parlour with a chip shop attached and an inside seating area with a nice view to the rear.

Issy has been in touch with the museum and they're looking forward to seeing us. Unfortunately, the museum doesn't offer tea or coffee but the carpark should easily house us all and provide a nice backdrop for some photos.

Approximately 100 miles round trip from Musselburgh Services with some fantastic roads and views on the way.

Everybody, please remember that there is an admission fee to the Motor Museum. The usual price is £7 per person but Issy has secured a discount. I don't know what the discounted rate is so bargain on spending £7 pp and if its cheaper, that's a bonus.

17 cars so far so this should make for some pretty cool photo opportunities.

Still loads of room if anybody fancies a nice drive and dine....

[Cambell]

Couple of wee changes to the list but that always happens. This is looking like its going to be a well attended day and a great drive. Some lovely metal on show aswell.

Based on the numbers above, I've phoned the place we're eating and reserved 20 places so we won't have to wait for a table. I'll be phoning again from the services once we all meet up on Sunday morning to confirm numbers with them which they are happy to vary.

Still plenty of room, come on troops, get your names down B)

Nice to meet you Mike.

Hope you all enjoy

[mickl3008]
