Highlands visit - 18th/19th August

Unknown · June 2007

Quite a few of the Scottish lot have talked about visiting Golspie / Laggan etc during the summer, a few have been lucky enough to go already (StuartM555, Hamish and SLW among others).

Rather than just talk about it why dont we try and get a date and arrange something? I was thinking late July or August time as early July will be holiday time for a lot of people (me included).

July removed as an option as Rhette is up on 21st/22nd and the karting is on the 28th

August
<ul><li>4th and 5th is the Selkirk Merida that a few of us are doing so thats out.</li>
<li>11th and 12th </li>
<li>18th and 19th </li></ul>

Fitting in a Monday would be good aswell to make it a 3 dayer but lets see if we can arrange a weekend date first.

Any takers?

At a first glance I should be fine for any of them.

BTW - I'm sure that Rhette would enjoy Golspie even though as <s>a bit</s> the heck of an extra trek. I'm not sure he'd bond with Laggan black or Learnie though. They're pretty darn technical.

August should suit me. I do have a week of in august, but I'll need to check with the boss (also need to check what week I got in the holiday lottery for this month aswell!)

Monday would be good aswell.

Yep, August suits me. I am hoping to take 2 weeks off during the festival, so maybe a weekend and Monday would fit in well.

MC might even have a bike by then!

Was the karting not late June? I'm all confused....

Karting is 28th July, and I just may have a bike by then.

I am jealous.....!

I still have to find a trail to match most things back home. Did a pretty good trail called 'Rocky Hill Ranch' last Sunday, but unfortunately it is a 2.5hr drive each way. [:(]

Have fun guys. [:p]

WHat are you complaining about, lycra boy? That's less of a drive than Golspie or Kirroughtree. [;)]

Golspie is well worth the trip. We should go to the uber tech at Learnie too. Theres Laggan, fochabers, and a few other wee places near loch ness if folk want trail centers. Plenty good natural stuff as well all over the highlands.

The sleeper carriages at Rogart near Golspie are a good cheap place to stay.

Laggan, Golspie and Learnie can be done in 2 days if we have to.

The bmx track in inverness is quite fun for half an hour.

OK, so which date then?

11th and 12th
or
18th and 19th
?

Once we have a date I will book the place that Stuart mentioned. I would probably be up for doing the Monday so will also book the day off once the dates have been agreed.

18th/19th would suit me better (that's if my calculations for my shifts are right!). Just need to check what holidays I ended up with :-/
