I am actually able to come to this one! However, I think I will just come for one of the days and not stay over as I don't know anyone. Is that OK to do? I'd like to meet up with people for walking and do a Munro or maybe even two...! I'm not sure how that works so let me know if day-meets are OK!

This is more like it :D . Been angling for a meet down this way for some time now - not your usual daytrip nonsense to Kinlochewe or Nethybridge or wherever :wink: .

I can't commit yet, but I could do with going to a meet this year, so I'll keep an eye on this.

Hi guys.
Well done on quick booking. :lol:
Please put me down for a share in a 4 room, both nights.
Would happily share with Martin (FF) again.
Flump (Andy) also said yesterday that he wanted to come, i'll PM him now.
Ana wants to come too, but will probably only stay on the Saturday. Not sure how it will work room wise yet! :roll:
Thanks
Chris

Hi guys,

Count me in for both nights please (need to confirm days off work tomorrow, but should be fine).
Happy to share with Chris (jepsonscotland) and Martin (fife flyer) again.

Nice choice, plenty to do in the area. :)
