As a good number of you will now know the next meet has been placed in my hands :shock: I'd just like to try and gauge people's opinion on venue my preferences would be Skye, Kintail or Glencoe / Fort William area any input would be gratefully received

Looks like we've not been to Glencoe for a good while. I'd be happy with there, or a repeat of the superb 2013 Winter meet in Kinlochleven, my favourite so far. Hopefully I can actually walk by then :lol:

I'm kinda with JP on this one......Glencoe area in general could be a good one for winter

Plenty of hills around about of all classes and not too long a drive for most (sorry Charlie!!! :wink: )

Judging by all the chat on TH today it'll have to be a venue that allows dancing!!!.....that Rodmeister is a party animal!! :lol: :lol:

Darren - I'd probably favour Glencoe/Kinlochleven over Kintail or Skye at that time of year, but wouldn't mind any out of that choice of 3

All of these places would be nice, having said that we'll be unlikely to come if it's too far from Inverness (Kevin's company has a holiday ban in November/December due to Xmass rush so he'll be working till late on Friday).
