Hey Jonny.
Aye, they're heading right up North and across the top tae John o Groats/Caithness and finishing in Aviemore on the Monday evening.
There are/may be a couple of other's heading to Kyle for Saturday lunchtime, to meet up with the group once they've completed there tour of Skye, before heading to Applecross and then Ullapool on the Saturday night.

Most of the details are here

There are 1 or 2 changes to the itinery, due to accomadation issue's but that's about it.

Does the monthly meet happen in Aberdeen still? I'm up your way this weekend.

If it does, what time?
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence

The Aberdeen meet's are still held on the last Sunday of every month at 12.30ish.

I'll be unable to attend this months meet, so it may be worthwhile posting on the Aberdeen Meet thread to see who's planning on being there this Sunday.
There are 1 or 2 who may not be there, as there prepping for the West Coast meet,which ties in with Zone Roam the following weekend.
