As Mike's birthday is the 16th which according to my calendar is the saturday I'll aim to get over to glencoe by midday on saturday, possibly in time for a quick afternoon tour round the area?

Hi Beej
I am back in Inverness. I am working on Friday till 5pm. So Will start before 9am on Saturday and drive down to glencoe. It will take about two three hrs depending on the traffic.
My tent skills are poor (sadly haven't done camping before). But will buy a tent and bring along. Failing which I will book an accomodation nearby.
Should I send the moneys before hand to you?

Rory - glad to hear that your able to come along and make sure that the Whisky is ok!

Chandra - Good to hear that your able to come along on the Saturday. Remember that if your buying camping gear to get a warm sleeping bag as it could be chilly and to bring thermals. We have a spare tent which you can borrow for the night if you want so you would just need to buy a sleeping mat etc...


The campsite can be paid by either cash or cheque on arrival with the owners, £8 per person per night.
Other accommodation nearby is either in the pub - 10 min walk from campsite -, or in the youth hostel - 5 min walk from campsite / 15 min walk from pub


Mike - can't believe your gonna be 50! Blimey!

Please dont encourage him it will make him insufferable all weekend :rolleyes2:

Beej , I have done some sorting with the Germans and it looks like I may be able to get up for the weekend - but really need to head off home very early Sunday to at least put in a show before they leave and say hello. At present the back is also playing up quite bad and causing me problems riding if there are strong winds this really affects my neck injury and this is another factor so all I can say is I should be at the meet but depending on the weather and how settled the back is we will see. If I get along I will be up there early afternoon Friday. Fingers crossed. Jake.

Beej 23 Sep 2010 16:21

Paul - great to hear that your able to come along!

Liz - Mike's allowed to be insufferable all weekend... it's his 50th Birthday!

Jake - sounds like you've been doing some good negotiating! Will be great to see you if you make it... hope your back gets better again! Just keep us informed!

Yeah... only 3 weeks to go!

Just checking out the route, looks like there will be a stop at the Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum and apparently the Real Food Cafe opposite does good food. The Real Food Cafe

Hey Beej, I've ordered my parts, and should have everything squared by the end of next week, starting to wonder if I've made the right decision, Just remembered I don't like being cold!!

We came home thru Glencoe yesterday roadworks at Ba bridge using a temporary bridge and some traffic lights. We were there around 1630 not that many hold ups just keeping you all updated.

Hi, i am hoping to come along to my first HU meet. I was in Glencoe at the weekend and the temperature dropped to -4, so pack those thermals. Andy B

Beej 3 Oct 2010 21:32

Angus - great to hear that your able to come and help check out the whisky on the Friday night... will be great to see you again.

Andy - good to hear that your able to come along to your first HUBB meet!

Good point about bringing thermals... they will be needed! However... we always have fun... even if it rains! 2 weeks to go!

Looking forward to it... just need to get the bike's serviced... been due since we got back from Russia! Ops!

Think we might invest in new sleeping bags for the weekend, heard good stuff about Nanok, anyone else got some suggestions, would prefer synthetic filling 4 season.

debseed 4 Oct 2010 14:52

Just had a quick shuftie at the calendar and I could be up for this one!
