NEW Info Moffat for Hogmanay Forums

sallytrafic · Southern Rally Co-ordinator

At that time of year it is difficult to commit to driving 350 miles each way, in case the weather is awful for driving but we are still kind of interested I've never spent hogmanay in Scotland.

Nearest rally to home and can't make it Crying or Very sad

(Actually nearly didn't look at the thread as Moffet is actually spelt Moffat).

Have a good time everyone. The area is very beautiful even in winter.

Sorry, sorry sorry for the typo.
Us "sassanachs and even worse a yorky beg your humble forgiveness.

I actually know what you mean, when I read Harrogate as "Harrowgate" I cringe. Around here we say Arrigut Laughing

But back to the rally.
Interest so far is mainly from our cousins north of the border who no doubt have long standing New Year traditions that include the family and find it hard neglecting their duties.
How about you all come and show us sassanachs how it should be done?

Moffat is a lovely place. I often went there as a child and revisited the place July 2006. Why are you all worried about travelling to Scotland? Last Sept we came from midway down here in Spain to Winchester for one weekend (approx 3000miles) you all have motorhomes if you feel tired stop and rest. Regarding travel in the winter I bet there are plenty of motorhomers at the end of the year out on the ski's north from us. They all seem to manage . You will find the Scots are not mean but friendly,hospitable ,generous people go on give it a go. I have to come over to the UK in Jan 2008 but will celebrate hogmanay here in the sunshine with the family. It's not quite the same atmosphere when its warm outside. Finally it's 3.36 am and I just logged on to look at the Swift Leisure site simply because of Peter Smith's excellent efforts for Swift on here. Only one garage model but I intend to see this one when I come over as I will likely get a new van early 2008 and would like to think it could be a Swift Smile

I realise we can't expect much for a fiver
I assume no facilities whatsoever?
Just that my van is very energy greedy and don't have a genny yet
also tend to use loads of water and her indoors likes proper loos.
Was thinking of Going to the CC site at Newcastleton
