Have sent a PM Alice.

Still two beds left for the Ratagan meet, one for a mixed, and one for an-all female rooms.

PM me if interested, you'd be very welcome!!

Great report and wise words of perspective. Echo all the comments above re healing and time, and the sheer ability of the empty countryside to help the process along. Keep on walking ...

Yes Ryan, there's a bed or two left if you're still keen, would be great to have you along to meet the rabble!

Great report Mike, summed up the experience perfectly!
I left at 5am on the last morning - insomnia being my friend once more - and found the ride out a lot easier than the ride in after two days intensive training on the hills! Good luck with the rest of your Munro's.

Hmm could be tempted we're not in Canada till the weekend after :lol: Are we talking the same quizmaster here? Is there a possibility that the quiz might last 4 or 5 hours? :lol: :lol: :lol: Would be great to have you two there Scoob. And the quiz will only last that long if you keep getting the an...

Just a few places remaining for this summer's meet at Ratagan, July 12/13. :D :D For those who have requested places but not yet paid, please do so as soon as possible (I've had to pay the balance for the hostel so my cash flow is looking a bit sad ... and it will secure your place). :shock: :shock:...

I had a very enjoyable afternoon on Moel Siabod, with one of the above correspondents, following the route you've described.

Yes, spaces are available still, have sent you a PM

Well, it would be rude not to, wouldn't it? Put me down for the two nights Dave please.
I've stayed there before, excellent big room for quiz and banter.

Would I have approved of the Applecross quiz, JW?

Hope to make Ratagan but will need to wait til Seana gets her shifts, which won't be until end of June.

Oh I think so. Right up there with your very own, Dougie.

Applecross will be a tough act to follow ... but it will be fun finding out!
Plenty of places left for Ratagan in July. PM me for payment details.

There will be dogs ...

And a decent quiz.
