Get it booked now, don't wait to the last minute.

It's always better to wait until the last minute......(ha ha ha)

Ahh, Pitlorchy ... been there in May.

Is there a mailing list for the Highlander Tour 2011 ?

I am really interested, but don't know yet if I can make it.

No mailing list as such Erik,

The details can be found on Freedom forum / events section (http://www.MGFreedom.org.uk)

Just contact me if you have any specific questions.

Looking good already - registration forms etc will follow later (after MGF15 !)

The Highlander 6th to 8th May 2011

The Highlander 2011 registration is now available on the online shop at http://www.mgfregister.org/shop/events/ ... -2010.html

A paper copy of the application form can be downloaded via the online shop page or from this link if you prefer to register for the event via the post.

Sent off my HIGHLANDER fee and paid my overdue FastForward fees

Bought a MG Fregister cap also.

Fully paid up now.

The routes for the HIGHLANDER 2011 are just about complete. Still a couple of wee bits and bobs to tidy up.

They have been created on Google Maps (still getting the hang of Google Maps )

The links will be posted soon. Im hoping this allows members to input the routes onto SAT NAVS etc prior to the event.

I spoke to the hotel on 14th March.

They have rooms booked for the following;
Iain adamson, Michael Anderson, A Arthur/(S White), Paul Bridgeman, Ian Calaby, Fred Driver, Alan Dunlop, Alan Dunstan, Anthony Duthie, Steve Duxbury, Thomas Gallacher, Terry Garnick, Jim Garstang, Robert Hay, John Hewitson, Tony McCann, Iain Mitchell, Tim Morris, David Moir, Morrow ?, Glenn Neilson, Jamie Proudfoot, Keith Robinson, Neil Sutton, David Welsh,
Steve White appears to be missing from their list. (Sorted)

David Alexander is staying locally with family.

We have another few who have expressed interest as daytrippers.

Ah that expalins it. Arthur is my OH's surname. So looks like we are booked in, just not in my name

Paid Highlander fee today

Look forward to meeting those of you we haven't met already.

Here are the HIGHLANDER 2011 routes

They have been split into four maps, one for Saturday am and pm and the same for the Sunday route. They have various waypoints which if followed, we should all be on the same route!

These maps can be copied onto your Sat Navs (Tom Tom and Garmins) by using "TYRE". Instructions below. I have a Garmin nuvi 265W and it wasnt very good at transferring the maps to. It saved all the waypoints, but did not link them to be a 'route' and I find Garmin not very good at creating multi stop/multi desitnation routes.

Alternatively, by viewing the routes on the screen you may be able to input the waypoints and route directly onto your Sat Navs.



TYRE needs to be downloaded onto your compluter. I saved mine on the desktop to fins it easily again. TYRE link . . .

Have the links to the HIGHLANDER 2011 routes handy to copy and paste later.
Open TYRE.
Click on the Tools menu, choose Preferences and under the General tab set the Default (at bottom of the page) to suit the device you have, i.e. Garmin or Tom Tom.
Click File and 'Import from Website'.
Copy and paste the URL for the google map from Google Maps. The URL can be found far right by clicking "Link". The URL is highlighted blue.
On TYRE, paste the URL into the address bar at the top.
Then click on Import.
Google Maps will open within Tyre.
Click on Import again (Bottom right of the page)
Tyre will appear with a list of Waypoints in the main window. Remame them at this point if you wish. I numbered mine i.e. Sat am 1 start, SAT am 2, SAT am 3 etc with the last one SAT am FINISH.
Click on File/Save As and save the file in either *.itn (TomTom) or *.gpx format (Garmin)
Connect your Garmin to your computer, then from the menu bar in Tyre select Garmin (or Tom Tom), followed by 'Copy to Garmin (or Tom Tom) and the file will be saved on your Garmin (or Tom Tom).

Good Luck!

Registration for The Highlander 2011 via the online shop will close this Thursday just before the event.

Anyone still not registered with us please do so, failing that, you will have to pay Tim in person on the event itself.

Which, having failed to negotiate the online shop for whatever reason , is what we're going to do - by prior arrangement of course!
See you all in Pitlochry!
