S/bat what time are you leaving at on sunday?

[Big Ian]

hi strange bat
:headsc: did i see your car today in arrochar about 1pm may have been a female drivin it?

[wirdy]

Take your jackets to Crail guys!!
No matter what the weather it's always windy. (I used to live in St Andrews)

Has someone spent some money at Crail then?? The last time I was there (1997) it was used for the occasional car boot sale & just had a simple kart track laid out with tyres on one of the old taxiways.

/fond memories of going to Crail to scrub in new bike tyres on the grippy surface. :) then getting told off by disgruntled farmers :-D

[strangebat]

yeah the wife was driving, I had too much work to catch up on so never made it to creil. Knockhill wasn't bad though apart from usual knockhill weather, the coldest wind I have ever felt.
Highlight of the day was a huge inflatable tent taking off in the wind doing a sumersault and flying through the air upside down for 50 feet and landing on its roof-with six kids inside it and two generators attached. My cheque from you've been framed would have been a cert if I hadn't dropped the camera to run after it.

[Big Ian]

crail aint changed much as the scottish office (goverment) have put a preservation order on the old building's,hanger shed's and well!! the hole site..
i never made it today i had family stuff,but it's garnteed it would have been busy i know there were a load of car's going from my area..
