    If the dates and itinerary are not finalised yet can I say Saucy Mary's bunk house is recommended. Its just over the Skye bridge also the main road around Skye is in great condition and a great road.( just thought they are worth a mention at this stage, if the routes are more fixed than I realised, then I apologise.

    I'll go with whatever dates suits the majority i thought meet at Tyndrum on either Sunday the 13th or the 20th of May?..the Scottish 6 day trials is on from the 7th to the 12th of May so probably best to give those dates a miss

    |That might be a possibility for the Tuesday night, i had though staying either at the campsite at Applecross or there are a few options in Lochcarron,but we could stay on Skye, and if we have time have a run around the main Rd..then leave on the Wednesday morning to Ullapool via my suggested route..i'll have a better idea tomorrow when i make phone calls to various hotels etc

    i phoned up the hostel in Tyndrum asking if i could pre book a certain number for May and if it turns out there will be less turning up will it be ok? they said as long as i let them know about 3 weeks before it will be fine:), i'm thinking of pre booking 15,that should be more than enough?? not sure if the rest of the places i phone will let me do this but i'll give it a go..will keep you posted:)

    i phoned a few places and apart from the bunkhouse at Tyndrum the rest would not let me provisionally book for a group:(,so i think i'll give it until the 29th January not the end of February as i had originally planned, before i book anything and if anyone else is interested after that they would still be welcome to join us, but i wouldn't be able to guarantee they will be able to stay in the same place
