You may remember me from Stu's do last year with big gulamphing Corrie dog in tow. Janet suggested I come along to this meet in August if that's ok? May stay with friends, try to find a dog friendly B&B or possibly pitch a tent, weather permitting.

Janet - I'd be up for doing the Lairig Ghru on the Friday - just need to sort dog/car logistics!


Hi Shirley

Would be great to have you along. I can ask if Corrie would be welcome in the bunkhouse if you like?

Thanks Dougie. I'm thinking I might leave Corrie with friends for the rest of the weekend if I do the Lairig Ghru on the Friday as might be too much for her. But if you could check re bunkhouse that would be great! :-D

Hi All,
If there's no objections to a stranger tagging along I'd like to join you guys? I'm keen to get involved in the community if poss and this seems like a good way of meeting new folk :-). I'll probably camp or make my own arrangements later on.
I've spoke briefy to Jockstar and Suhowfar who have hearity recommended the meet ups so it sounds like a good craic.

Cheers

Martin

Thanks for arranging this. Kids now doing their own things this summer - so we are FREEEE for the first time! We would love to join the party. We will come up Friday in the Moby and tag on (make our own arrangements). Maybe win an inflatable sheep (we are crap at pub quiz)! :D

Now there's a thought. I'd been wondering about what the plan might be for this one. This sounds like one to consider.
