Most groovy

As long as you don't try to pretend you're still a local and drop into a strong Scots accent the moment you cross the border

Happens involuntarily I'm afraid

[Bing]

Ok, first post updated, potentially 7 cars so far, plus one more, so getting towards a good number

Paul / Nick - I'd suggest you guys book a room each in the B&B, they have not gotten back to me about holding the rooms. You both good with contacting them direct yourselves ?

[Swiftly]

I am happy to contact the Uig Bay Campsite and book our room

[Bing]

Can't you do it a week earlier

[Guiseley]

Wonder if Ruth can get any time off - or maybe a single day hoon with mr Gunn (as he seems to be driving through Guiseley anyway)....... Hmmm

[PerryGunn]

What about Dunvegan?, as you said, if lots of people want the B&B, it would be better to be together

[mr wilks]

After 24 hours rolling the idea round this is proving logistically & emotionally difficult junior(22 yrs petrolhead) wilks is mad keen but the reason i'm booked off that week is i need to be in Normandy the Monday to get some things sorted & appointments with electrician & roofer have already been made .
I was under the crazy notion i could head home Sunday Pm & be on the channel ferry the day after but i think i'm stretching my capabilities behind the wheel a little
The draw of the venue , the cars & of course the folks was the appeal & whilst i haven't put the idea totally to bed i can't count myself in .

Sorry guys if this one doesn't happen for me but as a consolation i have another crazy notion to organise a similar Normandy event that would most likely be easier for many to access & have no less great roads & scenery ?
Plus Mmonkey said he would happily chop logs for me if he gets the chance

Sorry Bing was at work, I'm the other Southerner. Will let you know for definite when I've asked work for a couple of days off. I would be camping

[Bing]

Unfortunately not - that would involve me getting off a 12hr flight on the 21st at 6am, then getting up for a 5am departure the next day

It's also a bank holiday weekend the week before, not ace at all. Change your plans

I can have a look, but it won't be until tomorrow evening now. If someone with some time tomorrow can find a big enough B&B in Dunvegan with space - for 4 couples so far by my reckoning - then I can change the plan, and there's a very highly rated campsite there too. I'm a little concerned we need to get in early though - leave it too long and everywhere will be booked up.

Be ace if you can make it Mr Guiseley I'll put you down as a possible...

Oli - will await confirmation

Mr wilks - , but understandable give my position on the weekend before...

That sounds good to me, much better for runs without the risk of nasties in the post.

You are such a .... Oh sorry - this post doesn't qualify for that response

Hi Bing, Nick,

Had a quick look at alternative B and B in Dunvegan - haven't found one yet with 4 rooms. Others already booked and with only one room. Looks like it would be difficult to be together (4 couples).
