Love to make this one after missing the last 1 or 2....... tempted more for camping though, how far away is the Sands campsite ? Oh and if I make it along, I'll drag the bold Stevie along with me....

Sands Campsite prices for this year can be seen here:

I suspect 2016 prices will be the same (or just a wee bit dearer ).
The walking distance from the hostel to the entrance of the campsite is about 1km, which shouldn't be a problem even for walkhighlanders under influence

The 1st lot of tent pitches are even closer, 1/4 mile from the hostel (I checked on google maps )

I have been in touch with them already about booking a wigwam and they provisionally took my booking and took my details and said they will be in touch in January once they have decided the price, but as BP said it will only increase a little I would guess.

We are looking forward to it already

Pete and Fee

[weescotsman]

Cheers for the quick replies folks...... looking forward to it already. Roll on April.

I would like to come along but I'm guessing there is once again no public transport to this location?

Wheredya live though? you could get a lift I'm sure

We'll be passing through Inverness of you are stuck - probably not until about 9PM on the Friday night though - we always seem to be the last to get there
Maybe there are more buses at that time of year as well, you could try ringing westerbus nearer the time to see if they can help you out - they quite often bend over backward to please (or used to) - nice folks 01445 712255

[weescotsman]

So that would be a gentle 10 min stroll down to the site, and about a 40 min doddle back up then....
