Visit to Allan Gibsons workshop (Gibsons autos) for technical morning/open workshop with Allan and Rakesh Anand, from 9am to 12 noon.
They will both be there to answer any question you may have about your G.
We anticipate to leave the workshop for 12.00 or soon after,so everyone has time for lunch at the nearby villages or on the road to Peebles.
Allan has organised a road trip to Peebles via countryside.Please make sure you get your roadbook before you leave the workshop..!!!

For late arrival, just join us in Peebles...

Peebles is a small country town in the Scottish Borders situated 23 miles south of Edinburgh and about 40 miles from Glasgow. This quiet south eastern corner of Scotland, with its lower than average rainfall, clean air and bright sunshine encourages visitors through every season.
Peebles sits in a beautiful valley of river Tweed surrounded by hills, farms and forests. Golf, fishing, mountain biking and walking are popular pursuits, with the Forest of Tweeddale and the challenging Southern Upland Way within easy reach.

Sunday morning
Meeting at the Peebles Hydro hotel

We have prepared another road book that will take us from Peebles throught the Lammermuir Hills to Edinburgh. I will be available from 10.00 to 11.00 am on this morning at the Peebles Hydro hotel reception to hand over the roadbook to anyone that did not get his on the Saturday and answer your questions.
We then aim to meet at Petit Paris Restaurant for lunch at around 2.00pm (The restaurant is usually closed on Sunday so i can enjoy a day off...do not expect me to cook for you.........)
A 3 course lunch has been arranged at a cost of £20.00 soft drink & coffee included.

Petit Paris Restaurant
17 Queensferry Street
EH24QP
Edinburgh
01312267107 (make sure you come to the right address as there is 2 Petit Paris in Edinburgh)

I look forward to welcome you to Scotland, and hope you will enjoy that special week end. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more help.
