RE: A7 Centenary Celebration. - Ruairidh Dunford - 15-04-2022
Perth is the geographic centre of Scotland, 230 miles from John o’ Groats - by the shortest route.
RE: A7 Centenary Celebration. - Ruairidh Dunford - 15-04-2022
Gary Edwards appears to have reached Lands End today.
David Aylmore is continuing to take a leisurely route route down the West Coast towards Oban and the two Welsh Rubies have most likely arrived in John o’ Groats by now, I would expect.
Anyone heard any more from Harry and Peter?
RE: A7 Centenary Celebration. - Ruairidh Dunford - 17-04-2022
Still no news of Harry and Peter…
Rubies have made it back down to Perth and David has found his way through Glasgow to Moffat.
Gary is nearly home to Brighton.
Any news of the other entrants, at all?

Hi, News up date. Arthur and co have made it to John o Groats,and are on their way South as of midday to day (Sunday) they stopped off half way between Glasgow and Carlisle, for fuel and will be overnighting in Preston.
Harry and Peter are having trouble with Harry's Ruby, and are sorting it out by the banks of Loch Lomond, "if you must have problems that's a nice place to have them" but Peters Austin is going like a top. They are hoping to make John o Groats late on Monday.S&P

Peter’s Ulster has died near Thurso unfortunately…
He and Harry will now continue in the Ruby and the RAC will return the Ulster back to Wales.
