Maybe they offer bunkhouse accommodation?

 

If Bellingham is booked, make sure they have fixed their cooker so everything gets fully hot at the same time, please.

 

Go decorate your phone, oh to late.

 

At the bunkhouse in Wales was there a limit on the amount of people allowed in at any one time ? and if not how many came along for sprinters meal? Just asking as I have 3 different bunkhouse locations in mind (not including the Tyndrum one)

 

ok but don't call me Crispey! I think you will find that all the bunkhouses will have a limit for the amount of people inside due to insurance requirements (bbQ will be different) I havn't contacted the 3 bunkhouses yet but I think i'd like to be sure it would be ok for however many came for sprinters meal rather than just assuming it would be ok only to discover there might be a problem

 

oops yes I just assumed Sprinter would be cooking,i was just really wondering how many attended this year so I can get an idea of how many folk would be coming to the bunkhouse for a meal..one of the bunkhouses I have in mind will be fine I think as they hold 42 people but the other ones hold about 20 odd I think

 

I'm away for the weekend, but I'll get on the case on Monday and find prices etc for the 3 bunkhouses & hotels nearby

 

Dougie, I think there was about 13ish visitors to the bunkhouse on the Saturday night for Sprinters & co feast.

DD with regards to the much better craic at the bunkhouse

I’d got a job trying to understand some of the bunkhouse inmates

 

it seems that the bunkhouse in wales were quite relaxed,i'm not sure if all will be like that though, how many were in the bunkhouse in total for the meal?

 

Cheers that gives me an rough idea,i think the one in Tomintoul might be a bit small to handle that amount of folk,pity as I've stayed there with mates when the annual bike weekend is on,it's not fancy but has everything you need, it might be a bit far for the southerners anyway come to think of it ?

 

I think everyone who was there on the Saturday, bunkers and hoteliers, attended the feast.

Yep I was originally booked into a hotel, but as the bunkhouse was not getting filled I cancelled my hotel and booked the bunkhouse. My decision was based on the amout of effort put in by Rooster et al, and it seemed like the right thing to do... Had a great time and wil definitely book in the bunkhouse next year.

To be honest there is a limit to how many you can cater for,especially without knowing the set up before hand.
Andy, Mr and Mrs Chiari and myself worked all day Saturday in the kitchen, not to mention Andy serving breakfasts everyday.
I would say, within the confines of this type of kitchen ( Andy and I , now have experience in3 or 4 of these) we maxed out the possible numbers, and courses, achievable , and bear in mind, none of the cooks completed any ride outs.
The minimum requirement next year would have to be about 6 volunteers for the Feast, and that's with numbers like this year ( 34 ish ).
I think @andypandy and @chiari1 will back me up on this.
You people can eat quicker than we can serve,is what.

 

I'm not thinking 35/40 for accommodation Ade but one that will hold 35/40 for a meal..

 

you guys are saints i didn't realize you missed out on all the rideouts..what about organizing a big Indian carry out the next time and that way no-one has to miss out on the rideouts?

 

Ok so you’re talking about regulars only, doesn’t inspire new members to attend!! We had a number of non members this year who were very welcome additions, no partners then? Maybe only people that go on ride outs? Triumph owners only?
At the bunk house I experienced a full Richter scale snoring and although I would love the bunk house experience I need sleep and to drink as much as I’d need to to sleep through that I wouldn’t be able to go out on the rides which is a big part of the ibjective, ban old farts then!
Some can’t commit so far ahead fair enough if I found I could make it but was too late for the organised accommodation well tough, I found that in the Scottish one, no accommodation so tough, would you kick someone out? Because they haven’t had as many likes as me?
We have had perfect gmus so far it’s only going to get harder
To better them.

 

So is that don’t call me “crispey” or “don’t call me crispey” I don’t have your number but I do like the hard to get approach
