SkyeFall Run 2014 - 30th & 31st August - Updated 29/07/14

[Bing]

Let's stick with Uig - there are two rooms at the campsite, and an alternate B&B suggested nearby. Only problem is that Uig itself seems to be the other side if the Bay... Though it can't be far, and well not be getting hammered with driving the next day...

Ok

Steph and I will contact them in the morning and book one of the rooms -

Nick you doing the same?

[Bing]

Oh, meant to say - thanks for checking Dunvegan

Room now booked

Cindy's a bit disappointed to find that The Four Seasons, Savoy and Ritz all seem to have missed out on the opportunity to grab the trade on Skye, but I've sent an email to Harris Cottage to check availability

Room booked at Uig for Steph and I too

The Guy I spoke to Martin sounds very friendly and seemed keen on BMWs. He told me they could set up things for a BBQ on the Sat night Bing.

Those looking for somewhere to stay might do worse than give him a ring for recommendations?

[PerryGunn]

I know Bing said that there's a TravelLodge at the M9 services but there doesn't appear to be availability for Friday 29th which is not necessarily a bad thing as, frankly, TravelLodges are cr@p

Who's looking to stay in the Sterling area on the Friday night? I don't know how much you're prepared to pay but there are a good selection of B&B's on TripAdvisor - some with decent parking facilities

Perhaps those that are planning to stay on Friday can voice their preferences on the various B&Bs and we can find somewhere that works for everyone for a Friday night mini-meet and a couple of beers?

Excellent Paul

Wee Bing is now demanding his own tent on the basis that I snore too loudly

The people in the B&B next to the campsite are probably starting to worry in case they're too close....

[AndrewP]

For non-BBQ food, the pub by the pier is quite close and there's another one further down the bay, probably 15-20 minutes walk. I'll sort my own ferry tickets, there's a Skye > Harris > Lewis one I can get.

Not worried, they haven't heard how loud my snoring can get

Nice one Paul

Getting quite jealous we can't make this - numbers & accom. are all shaping up nicely - well done Bing & everyone for signing up. If I can help / offer any more comments let me know - AndrewP has perhaps even better knowledge of the area.

Mrs Jax and I hope to meet you all at Stirling and tag along for a bit before turning back in preparation for Autobahn / Stelvio / Monza F1/ Swiss Alps a few days later !

Steph and I will be travelling up on the Friday and staying in Sterling area that night - we're on for a mini meet.

I've just checked again and, while there's the (full-up) TravelLodge right on the services, there is a Premier Inn a short distance away - looks like they have advance booking 'saver' rooms available for £51
