Fort Bill for a holiday.
I'm looking at doing a ride drive holiday to fort bill. To put it simply I'm looking at finding prices and any info I can get about what I could reasonably do.
My plan with £500 over 5 days
Day one: Drive from nr Chester to inners, ride, camp / B&B.
Day two: Drive from inners to Fort Bill, ride camp / B&B.
Day three: Ride Fort Bill, camp / B&B.
Day four: drive from from Fort Bill to Glentress, ride, camp / B&B.
Day five : Ride Glentress, drive home.
I want to keep the driving to under 4 hours a day and have all the kit e.g. DH bike (orange 223), van, tent & attached items.
What I can't get a clear idea of from the webpages is uplift prices, accomodation. Also i'm reasonably fit and capable (not to mention DH grade stupid) so how many runs could I get of Fort Bill using the first half day as a taster and then going full tilt on day two.
Any help appreciated.

Last time I was up there we got about 6 runs in over the day (around 9am - 3pm). That was taking it easy though, probably could've got in a couple more. IIRC gondola day pass with the bike was around £20. We stayed in Glen Nevis camp site and it was £12.50 a night (for a tent).0
