    Yes really surprised how some of the cabins were already full. It was a good job you mentioned it otherwise I might’ve struggled. Thanks again

    Great to hear you can manage this year @Gazwhitespeed ,do you want me to organize hotels for you? or once I've got definite locations for where we are staying overnight i could let you know if you prefer to book your own, word of warning the hotels up there are feckin expensive:dizzy:,i was hoping to book possibly a couple of hotels for the trip most are at least £100.00 a night for a twin room and that's not for what you would call a great hotel,it might be a bit cheaper for a single room? there are some nice B&Bs which would probably work out slightly cheaper..but not much!

    Dougie D,thanks for the welcome and your memory,i went up in sept and was paying £65 a night and I thought that was expensive[Ireland was half that] so once you know the location of every night I will get busy trying to find somewhere around £60,thanks for your help,gaz.

    will do,£65 is actually a bit cheaper than I thought it would be like you say it's still expensive though, I've just been checking prices for twin rooms,the first night we are definitely staying in Tyndrum, me and @andyc1 were there a few weeks ago and stayed here https://www.muthuhotels.com/muthu-royal-hotel/en/index.html we got a good deal on a twin room £32.50 each per night and that included a good breakfast,that might have just been a last minute special price but it,s worth checking out, on the Monday night we are staying at the Corran Bunkhouse there is this place a few minutes from it we had dinner and breakfast there at the last trip http://www.inchree.co.uk/rooms/ might be worth a look? the other nights I'm still working on:dizzy:

    You're quick! Do you like riding together with me and @BonnieCat or do you prefer to ride alone? Don't know where you're coming from

    Apparently had to be quick, as accomodation on board is filling up already - would have loved to ride up with you guys, but I will join a day later, and return on the friday... previous engagements... :confused:
    I'm at Soest, so would have worked...
