[quote=wanderingscotsman;206454]Beej - emailed you about a spare tent if you want to borrow.

-----------------------------------

Hi Darren,

Thank You... That would be great :clap: !!!

Havn't found your email though! :( Will try to find your email address to sort out tent issues!

Beej

P.S. Looking forward to it...

Hi everyone!

Well I believe that I'm all sorted for next weekend as I've just had an email from Darren saying that he has dropped a tent off at Hein Gericke for me to borrow... Yippee! :thumbup1:

Just need to get everything in my top box... could be interesting!!!!! Plus I'll be coming straight from work so I need to get my work stuff down to a mininum...

I should be at Stirling Services at approx 4:30pm if I find my way ok!?! I'm on a grey SV650 reg. SN08 ***. Just had a new exhaust put on so it now sounds lovelly!!!! Looks good too!

Looking forward to meeting everyone and to a fun weekend,

Beej :mchappy:

P.S.
Is someone keeping mobile numbers incase we miss each other at the meeting points?

:scooter:

Unfortunately this seems it isnt a C90 friendly expedition....
Due to a top speed of 48mph, i would hold you all up

However, free teas + coffees in Dundee for anyone thats coming through this way...
:D
Your welcome

Matthew

Hi, please be aware that the Mallaig ferry is on the winter timetable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there,

Where did you find this out from?
I have looked at the Cal Mac website and it says that the summer timetable runs until the 18th October. Has this changed? :confused1:

Beej

Just to say that I've phoned Gorton Sands Campsite and they are open this weekend. (Phew!)

For those who want to check out the location their address is:

Gorton Sands Campsite,
Invercaimbe,
Arisaig,
PH39 4NT

Hi, i was in Skye last weekend and intended taken the ferry to Mallaig but was informed by a local it was on the winter timetable.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess we should look into this as it might cause problems!

Matt :)

PS- On an up note, the weather forecast fro the weekend is looking quite good (yes, I know, it's Scotland, and three days is a long time in Scotlands weather systems!)

on the phone to calmac, still on summer timetable and plenty of ferries this Saturday. 13 bikes can cross at a time.

19th October is switches to winter.

cheers,

Beat me too it! Got the same info. from calmac, they even phoned Mallaig for me to be sure!

Matt :)

I got put through to Mallaig to confirm bike spaces. :-)

Shaping up to be a great weekend.

Matthew, if you PM your mobile I'll txt you with Sunday's plan if it's anywhere near Dundee/south A9?

I never thought of that, but its a good point: the Mallaig/Armadale ferry is quite a wee thing from memory!

Matt :)

Stayed at Gorten Sands last weekend, there may be fewer midgies around but the ones that are left are determined to make up for it!! Road to Arisaig is a bit of a mess, the one-way traffic lights they have up for miles don't seem to apply to site traffic, so be prepared to dive into a gravel-filled ditch to avoid trucks & telehandlers coming the other way when you've got a green light!!

Should have asked them if I could leave my tent pitched really :oops2:
