    2019 Scottish Road Trip :)


    I will be organizing another Scottish road trip this year, the dates will be Sunday the 26th of May (meeting up at Tyndrum) and leaving for home on Sunday the 2nd June, it is one day more than last year as I’m intending to spend 2 nights in Ullapool so folk can either do the Lochinver Loop or explore further north.The route will be similar to last years but with a few changes.
    Accommodation will be mostly Hostels/Bunkhouses but I’m hoping to include a couple of hotels, detailed daily route cards will be provided again and I will email them several weeks before so you can study them and if required you can copy them out again in a way that suits you.
    Once I have definite numbers then I can go about checking out accommodation and I will post up the daily route maps (detailed daily info on the route will be sent to you separately) Please copy and paste your name below if you would like to spend a week riding some fantastic roads!!

    Dougie. Might be an idea to run reserve list. As with all these trips, people do drop out for various reasons.

    whats a reserve list:confused:..I'm hoping folk that put there names down are definitely intending on coming unless something major happens? if I book rooms for folk in Hostels and hotels I can't guarantee they will get full refunds also it might leave the rest of us paying more

    Well take the Wales trip for example. I paid a deposit with every intention of attending, but couldn't make it. Obviously I lost my deposit which is fine, but perhaps someone could have been called up to fill the gap. Just a thought

    OK I see what your saying Ken, that sounds like a good idea, once we reach 20 folk I'll ask Ron to lock this thread and if anyone else is interested I will put a message up asking them to send me a pm and they can go on the reserve list in case anyone cant make it

    I think he must have had some hassle in the past,you would think if the place is full and the guys in the huts are from the same group he would turn a blind eye,he was certainly on the ball about telling us to keep the hostel door closed..other than that it's a great place!:)

    Well at the risk of putting the cat among the pigeons how about giving preference to forum members. That is people who where members before the trip was announced. Seems only fair to me that forum members should get first crack.

    I was thinking similar. A large part of the experience for me is interacting with folks I interact regularly with on the forum.

    When I mentioned to Lou a while back that I might be organizing a trip next year he asked me if he could ask a couple of his pals,i told him that wouldn't be a problem,(his other mate Nigel is a forum member)
