Whats the vauge area monthwise Bill? Are you looking to get here like before for the rally cause thats a pretty fixed date. Not that you have to and if it means more people being able to make it then that should take priority perhaps.

The idea is to make a special 60th Anniversary run and a visit to the rally on the 10th August. However there have been requests to take a more scenic route this time, and also visit a few attractions on the way up, therefore I need to know the time available to the entrants.

To get things moving, we are happy to start out from Lands End on the 3rd Aug (Sun) and have a leisurely journey via a scenic route arriving in Orkney on the following Friday. We could have a vote on this? :-) cheers neil
