Portree

I'm in agreement with HRH, Matti at the hostel also indicated that the bikes will be safe enough - never meant to cause any offence to anyone, just a habbit trying to park the bike in as secure a place as possible. I'm fairly confident we will get bikes into the back yard, I'll just have to check how many it holds. If we can't get them all in I'm sure they will be ok in the main square which immediately outside the hostel.
At £14 a night and having stayed there before, it's a deal. + I'm only looking for a bed and a shower.
 
wOOkie yer on the list for the Hostel.
Dazchallenge do you want me to add you to the list for the hostel?
Cheers

Block Bookings!

is someone doing a block booking or are we to book individually ?

I've been trying to think of the best way to organise this which is quite tricky!!
I can't assume that everyone wants to do as I do so I propose that we start some sort of list, those on the list by the end of this month I will block book for certain days (not the hotel days). Just quote the following but add your name below mine if you want to for the individual days, we can take it from there! What I am trying to avoid is overbooking places if that makes sense!!


Saturday Night - Lochside at Castle Douglas

TDN



Sunday Night - Nydie Camping and Caravan site at Strathkinness

TDN


Monday Night - Premier Inn at Inverness

TDN (Happy to share a room with someone)


Tuesday Night - Durness Caravan Park

TDN


Wednesday Night - Gairloch Caravan Park in Strath

TDN


Thursday Night - (Thanks to JKM) Hostel in Portree

If anyone feels we would benefit from staying somewhere different then please say!

As you know the only place i've decided on is in Portree. I will follow your lead with the other stops. Sound the muts nuts & look ideal sites, with everything we need, Pubs, grub, pubs:D. Thanks for the research mate:thumb

When camping do you intend to 'eat out' at each location? Just thinking of the gear to be taken:Motomartin

Cheers

Almost there!

Well done on the quick response everyone, this thing is nearly organising itself:)

Think Wully must be away exploring but i am sure he will be happy with our choices. Looks like its only Dakar and myself for sharing at Inverness, so i'll book that room if thats ok with you Dakar? Everyone else should book their own rooms at the premier inn if thats what they want, its £72 per room and remember there are 2 Premier Inns in Inverness, we are going to the Central Premier Inn. JKM is dealing with the hostel at Portree and I will provisionally book the campsites next week.

The people doing part of the run still haven't commented and I need to hear from them also, to get a better idea of booking numbers!

Still room if anyone else has a friend or two that may be interested :nenau

I will start work on putting the route into mapsource next week, does everyone use mapsource for their GPS??

Just had a confirmation from Colin at Gairloch, £7 a head for your pitch (nothing wrong with that) but he is also trying to arrange a discount for us at the hotel near him for grub!! He reckons he can swing us a decent rate for evening meals and breakfast if we are all dining there, don't respond yet, wait till we see the price!

Well done everyone:thumb

Charlie

P.S. I need a confirmation of contact details for everyone, send me a private pm with your name, address and mobile number if you could please and if you want the mapsource forwarded to you (once i get it done) then please indicate this in the pm.
