Directions here

For those coming along on Sunday Drumclog is on the A71 between Galston and Strathaven. (Drumclog is only fifty yards long or so, so don't blink!)

If coming from Galston direction you will pass a lorry depot and see a church on the right hand side with a small turning immediately before it (B475). Turn right down here and follow the road after a mile or so and you will reach a right angled turn to the left with a farm track going straight on, carry straight on down this farm track and I think the last old farmhouse (on the left) has a CAFE sign outside, keep straight on past this and then you will see a locked gate on the right and an open one on the left into a field with a small hill in the middle, we should be in there.

The link shows the cross roads and B745 and you can just make out the small track.

see you at the next one

Bill

Hope you got home ok Bill, not too long for the RAC to turn up I hope. I'll be mistaking you for Black Sheep if you're not careful, at least Ross manages to get going again. 

Had my own mishap as well today, although only a track rod, I now carry a spare after last time I bent one, oh and I've never been towed out by a tractor before   

Another good day overall, just a shame there was so few of us.

There has been a lot of rumour surrounding Drumclog and the quarry lately so I took the opportunity to speak to Kenny about it. Yes it will be going ahead but they have to build the conveyor belt first, although they have been going to do it for 30 years now. He did however assure me that there would always be land available for us to play on as they would only be using a relatively small part at a time.

Got home fine after they sent the right size of recovery vehicle as my 110 was a tad heavy for the first one, we had a pack lunch so after a pick nik we where shoffered home  . Looks like i missed another cracking day, New i was in trouble on the way home when i considerd trading the old girl in for a jeep, (sorry ross) but my son talked me round 

Thanks to all for the recovery of a very sick 110 (and now owner lol)

Dave, thanks for organising and sharing the pics.  I had a sense of deja vu when I saw your pic carrying out field repairs  
I see there was also the obligatory pic of a jeep being recovered lol
Sorry I wasn't there but I hope to be out to play soon.  Your almost in the jeepclub now as the John Deere had to recover me at Glentarkie........twice

Take care

Ross

New i was in trouble on the way home when i considerd trading the old girl in for a jeep, (sorry ross) but my son talked me round 

thats because your son has never been in the jeep, with the doors and roof off,  basking in glorious sunshine when off roading in the summer with the chrome gleaming. Shades on and big cheesy grin until you hit that first mud hole. Then the grin turns to a look of horror as all the`sh*t of the day comes over the top of the windscreen and you find yourself upto your ankles stuck in in a cess pool sinking slowly. It a jeep thing lol 
On a more serious note, sorry to hear whats happened and hope you get things fixed.

All the best

Ross
