Firstly, we leaned that the weather in south west Scotland isn't always brilliant. Though to be fair, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the forecast.
Not strictly something we learned as we knew it already, but the Ecclefechan Hotel is a brilliant place to base a tour. with comfortable rooms, excellent food, plentiful "out of sight" parking & good access to superb roads & scenery. Adrian & Cath made us very welcome.
This year kit cars were once again in the majority & no-one went home on a lorry, so I suppose we learned that a properly maintained kit can be reliable in "less than optimum" weather.
There was no falling out, everyone just got on with the driving, chatting, eating cake & having a good time, some stayed for the whole tour, others came & went, took days off to see other things or just have a rest & this is as it should be, it's a holiday after all.
There will be more posts over the next few days as I look at my notes of things that happened & places we went. There will also be videos appearing on my YouTube channel "Fury1630"
