Ladies & gentlemen it is my privelage to invite you all on the latest se7ens

list's tour of the highlands of Scotland aptly named "The Magnificent

Haggis" .......our biggest highland tour yet.

 

>From Monday 6th September to Friday 10th you will have five full days of

automotive heaven and the oppurtunity to enjoy driving your se7en on the

finest roads anywhere in the country. Accomodation will be the accustomed

full dinner bed and breakfast over three hotels. The first two nights in the

Hilton Colylumbridge, Aviemore, nights three and four and a secret location

on the west coast yet to be revealed & the final friday night at our old

favorite, the oldest hotel in Scotland, the Kenmore where for all those who

have been before, is a joy unto itself.... never mind anything else I may

have planned

 

A roadbook will be prepared offering sugggestions of routes for each of the

days with various mileages depending on your preference for time in the car.

As always there are no rules so it you want to head off sightseeing instead

there will ample choice from Castles to palaces, distilleries to stunning

countryside and plans are afoot for a possible gathering of se7ens at John O

Groats.

 

Once again the invite is extended to both old and new tourers (even the odd

MX5 owner) and of course not only includes all accomodation, but also the

support of our tour truck & two man crew.

 

Costs are estimates at the moment as the final costs depends on final

numbers however provisional calculations work out at about 385GBP per person

based on two in a car and shared double/twin rooms. There will be a small

suppliment for single persons as always which can only be calculated once we

have the final numbers.

 

Payment for the tour will be in three instalments. An initial deposit of

100GBP per person due now. An interim payment of 250GBP per person end of

June and a final balance payable in August. All payment details are at the

end of this email. To confirm a place please email me back with :-

 

1 - confirmation of your deposit & the bank reference used in the transfer

(usually your surname)

2 - whether you are solo or with passenger

3 - your preference to twin/double/single rooms (note there is NO SINGLE

ROOM option at the Kenmore hotel)

 

I need to confirm numbers to the hotels & pay deposits by 14th April so I

suggest you don't delay in registering your place. Also we are restricted in

total numbers by hotel availability so allocation of places is strictly on a

first come first served basis.

 

So there you have it........ let the fun begin

This is soooo tempting - one of my wish list items is to tour the Scottish Highlands. Unfortunately the timing conflicts - it will have to be another year.

Ed,

 

Thanks for thinking of me. I'm sure this would be a great tour - the fact that they have run haggis so many times just shows how much everyone enjoys it.

 

I'd jump on it, but I'm saving up for Italy.

Tom,

 

Have you worked out a way to rent a car for Italy?

It was a wonderful tour. Great weather, good people, beautiful roads and country...

 

Andrew at OpenRoad made the rental easy.
