A date for your diaries 

3-4  August 2019 will be the 7th running of the Border Raiders 

That’s as far as we’ve got so far(!) but planning is taking place, more details will be posted here in the next few months 

Chris

Quoted from cliftyhanger-

 

However, given the age of everything (including me) adding relays is very worthwhile as it means the switchgear etc is no longer stressed, plus the lights will be brighter. This applies to sealed beam or halogens.

Agree with Clive, all the TR7 lighting current goes through the headlamp switch and is a source of failure. I’ve put relays on mine, the headlamps are brighter and I’ve no worries on an overloaded switch

Hopefully you can follow us on the Club Triumph Instagram as we'll be posting regular photos

See you all at the OST

Quoted from Velocita Rosso-

Ok I don`t think the Spitfire will be ready, so the 2000/V8 hire car will be the mode of transport..........So when I`ve finished my pint in Kelso......I will get the others lined up and ready for when the rest of the field arrives😉 

Luckily Mik has included all the nearest petrol stations along the way in the route book for you!

Oops, I’ve given you the first start, you will be number one on the run so there may be a few watching your rear!

Fellow Raiders

Just a quick update on the Raid in a couple of weeks time
Hopefully you're all sorted with accommodation and raring to go.
The Rally plates have arrived, the road book has been printed, trophies sorted and we've got some flags to wave you off.

For those staying at the OST on the Friday I'll give you your rally packs with all the info to save a bit of time on Saturday morning.
For those arriving Saturday morning signing on from 9 ish and hopefully first car away from 9:30 at minute start intervals.
There'll be a quick drivers briefing before we start.

The Saturday night halt is, as you know, in Kelso and we'll be having a group meal at the Cross Keys, at the last count there are 63 of us so should be an interesting night!
We have some dedicated parking in the town square opposite the Cross Keys so please use that where possible and it will be our starting point for the Sunday return to York. Could be some local press coming to see us off on Sunday so get polishing those cars.

Martin's in charge of the weather and I have high hopes he will deliver some sunshine for the weekend

If there any changes to co drivers/cars please could you let me know

Any questions let me know by email

A huge thanks to the rest of the team, Mik,Mike and Ian

See you all on the Friday/Saturday for the biggest Border Raiders yet.

Chris

Quoted from Pete Arnold-

Quoted from Velocita Rosso-

"`Runners` have all been notified of final arrangements and in a couple of weeks ...all set to go"

I have not received anything!

 

Pete,

Mike has emailed people staying at the satellite hotels, the Cross Key'ers are all sorted but I'll be sending out some more general info via email and the forum soon

Chris

Last two gone.

we may have to open a reserve list, so just email me if anyone else is interested.

Probably all depends on if we can find anymore accommodation in Kelso. With CT, weddings,fishermen,walkers and the rest there’s not much left!

Another one gone, it’s only two now!
