Rain 50/50
Blow a gale. Probably
Cold, hell yeah
Sleep with Buell, not me
Mickey/ slippers, ask him
Santa leave before you get there, that depends lol, this time don't have pressures to get back as such
Drop the bike, I did, well the wind did lol

Alastair (Northern Jock)
Mike Spenze (Camping with electric hook up)

This should leave a cabin free.....

I think you had a telephone call to book a cabin, but can't trace it to any of ours. Do you have a record of such a booking?

That's about it for now methinks!

All the best

Micky

AndyB was cabin to the 30th, whichever one was free

 

[Santa-2512]

Thats the Buell cabin then

Good job there is one then, but it'll probably be with the Buel

 

[Northern jock]

Thats the Buell cabin then

Which one is that? One of the small ones I assume

 

[Santa-2512]

Which one is that? One of the small ones I assume

The first cabin as you walk toward the opposite end of the site to the multiberth lodge

Anyone got any accurate long range weather forecasts for the newyear period ?

 

[Micky]

Anyone got any accurate long range weather forecasts for the newyear period ?

My brother is the Met Office Meteorologist on Fairisle and I'm spending Christmas with him and his two daughter at Inverness, before I come across to Strontian on the 27th.

I'm on the case

Keep an eye on the Corran ferry FB page, as they are using a different ferry at the moment, and as a result are having to cancel lots of crossings, as they new ferry can't handle the weather

 

[Northern jock]

Anyone got any accurate long range weather forecasts for the newyear period ?

Yes. Cold, showers which may be wintry with solid precipitation, wind may rise before falling again and temperatures will be low, maybe going to even lower. Guinness in the pub will be first rate and a well loved VW camper will be a source of drams.

Should that be many drams
