(rain date May 27)

The Spring Drive will leave from Carleton Place and will take a good back roads route to the 1,000 Islands viewing tower, via Forfar, Lyndhurst. Afterwards we will have lunch at a waterfront pub in Rockport before heading along the 1,000 Islands parkway to historic Homewood House. After this visit we take further back roads and county highways back to end the drive at The Swan on the Rideau and an optional post drive stop – distance and time are about 238km over 3hr 30 min in an 8 hr 45 min outing for a fairly leisurely pace. Details will be provided in the May Jottings.

The Summer Drive is a day drive featuring the Ottawa River Valley on both the Ontario and Quebec sides, Pembroke, Fort Coulonge and Chutes Coulonge as well as Otter Lake, Quebec. The drive time and distance will be about 3 hr 30 min, 260 km in an 8 hour overall event, for a leisurely driving experience with several stops of interest. Lunch will either be a stop in Fort Coulonge or a picnic at Chutes Coulonge (to be decided). Details will be provided in the June Jottings.
 

Aug 3-5 2018

Following the success of last year’s long weekend drive to Quebec’s Eastern Townships this year we are heading west. This e-mail is to invite you to join us on the 2018 Ottawa Jaguar Club’s Weekend Drive, this year being held on Friday, 3^rd August through to Sunday, 5^th August. It is being sent out ahead of the information on other drives because of the need for participants to book accommodation early.

We will be using Bracebridge as our overnight location both nights, due to a general constraint throughout the Muskokas area requiring two night bookings in hotels for summer weekends. Because of challenges in getting hotel rooms in the area we will be touring this year, it is important that anyone interested in joining us on the weekend trip contact Alan Graves (afgraves@rogers.com) and Don LeBlanc (dleblanc.ba@gmail.com) as well as making their accommodation bookings as soon as possible, but no later than April 15th. We have temporarily reserved a block of rooms in the Quality Inn, Bracebridge to assist you in this. 

Drive details and Instructions for hotel reservations are at the end of the PDF brochure in a section “What Do You Need To Do?”.
 

Aug 12 2018

The Boot ‘n’ Bonnet Drive drive will leave from Merrickville, south of Ottawa, at around 9:20 on the 12^th so as to allow us to arrive at the show around 11 am, after a 1 hr 40 min, 113 km drive on good secondary roads and county highways. We will depart the show between 2:30 and 3 pm, depending on people’s wishes for the return journey to Ottawa, which will feature the delightful driving road that is The Opinicon Road, plus a coffee stop at Smiths Falls. The Trip will end at Ashton, from where folks can make their way home or join us for a bite or a pint at The Old Mill. Details will be provided in a future Jottings.
 

Sep 22 or 29 2018
(rain date next day)

The Autumn Drive will be a day out visiting Mont Tremblant with an especial emphasis on visiting the meadows, scenery and spectacular views available at the top of the Mont Tremblant gondola ride. Due to the higher elevations it is expected that the Fall colors will arrive early here. Details are being finalized and these will be included in the July, August or September Jottings
