I thought I would break with tradition, rather than be nominated I decided to 'volunteer' to organise the Spring Meet
The plan is to head up north to Durness on Friday 10th April, in fact any further north & we would be in the Atlantic, returning south on Sunday 12th April.
For anyone who hasn't been to the far NW, this is a must. I appreciate that there aren't umpteen Munro's up that way, but there are some fantastic 'smaller' hills, especially a couple of cracking Corbetts, the Cape Wrath Trail and some stunning beaches that will be deserted.
The accommodation will be in the
Lazy Crofter Bunkhouse which has a capacity of 20 and as usual it will be first come first served. Here is the link
http://www.visitdurness.com/lazy-crofter-bunkhouse/ WH does have a link to the bunkhouse in the Accommodation toolbar
The cost is
£18.00 per person per night. Priority will be given to those staying the 2 nights, makes sorting out finances and beds easier.
The bunkhouse has 4 rooms: 2 rooms with 8 beds and 2 rooms with 2 beds.
Please PM me for payment details, all bookings are non refundable so if you can't make the Meet it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
There is a campsite nearby
Sango Sands, here is the link
http://www.sangosands.com/ Sango Sands also has a bar & restaurant, where I will be eating
I should mention, it is up to individuals to contact Sango Sands Being so far north public transport is very limited, anyone without a car would be advised to arrange to share a lift.
Once the numbers have been finalised it would make sense to try and share cars, as we will all be coming from the south
I will start a new thread in the New Year so we can sort out car sharing
Bedding is provided, bring your own towels
You can either post or send me a PM
Important footnote: Anyone fancy volunteering for the vital role of Quizmaster, as Graeme has a better offer elsewhere
Vacancy has been kindly filled by Dougie
Rooms will be allocated once we have reached the maximum 20
