Planning to meet with a Mr A.Smith (londonwalker) at Cluanie on the Thursday night, Ciste Dubh & Am Bathach on the Friday before heading up to Gairloch for tea and buns. All weather permitting obviously.
Anyone welcome to tag along.

MT: "going with the flow" - would that be the flow of vodka?

Anyone know if there's decent pub food at Gairloch?

Big Tommo and I are going to be able to make it, staying Fri and Sat night. Not sure on our arrival time on Fri as it depends on me getting out of work. Any room at the hostel or anyone needing a couple of bodies to split the cost of a wigwam? We are both fully house trained and tidy up after ourselves If not a tent it is and Tommo will have to put up with me moaning about being cold all weekend.

Glad you guys can make the weekend, unfortunately all beds now taken. Huge number already heading towards the campsite either tenting or camper vanning or wigwamming or mobile homing. See you there, Rod

No doubt I'll be eating your dust once again Mr Smith ....

I'll be travelling up on the Friday hoping to arrive mid-afternoon ish. Camping will be my method of sleeping off any drunken-ness and I'm glad to see that someone has asked the fella above to guarantee blue skies and sunshine all weekend. Not sure if Stevie will make it though. At least if he doesn't the rest of the campsite won't be kept awake by his snoring or midnight wandering.....


Happy to share a lift up and down in anyone is travelling up on Friday and down on the Sunday.

Are we donating quiz prizes, I may have missed something regarding this.

Hi there weescotsman, no need to bring quiz prizes, just bring yourself and some drink. Organisers have all the prizes in hand, I think, Rod

There are loads of good places to eat in Gairloch. The Myrtle Bank is always good and one of my favourites. The Old Inn used to be very good but has its ups and downs. The Steading (by the museum) is good. There is a really nice cafe at the Big Sands campsite. The Shieling does a really good Cullen Skink. Not far away is The Bridge Cafe in Poolewe where Michael makes the most amazing cakes (I was in there yesterday) and there are loads of other places. My favourite used to be Na Mara in Strath but that has recently changed hands and I haven't tried it since. Probably the best food, and a really beautiful location, is the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel, although it is a bit pricey and I tend to save it for special occasions.

Pipe down a bit or I'll change the password again

I'l be joining now, but might go for the campsite, unless a bit of shuffling about can be done as I'm in an all female room.
