    You can tell Colin is a Scot - the text for the bit about people sending him money has gone HUGE ;-)

    Colin - could you post up the bit about Hizzy's B&B for Thursday night on post 1 - helps keep everything in 1 place

    I can't help...I can't even focus at this point in the procedure. The iPad won't let me embed anything and I'm not sure whether the forum software will let me anyway. There must be a gif based one or the like. I thought Jamie did one once but I can't quite remember.

    Just had a quick look and can't see anywhere where I can access the code, but I'm using my soft fruit based device. I'll fire up a PC later and have a look there but I think it might not be in my toolkit, unless Matt, Craig or Dan know otherwise. Probably best to ask Rob.

    Nice one Gary.

    Jimbo's just mine, getting for a little hack.

    We're just wondering If we need travel insurance and Euro's? Good news is both our passports have got plenty of time left on them.

    Thanks Gary.
    That's Friday & Saturday covered. Is anyone staying over Sunday on?

    Is Lee on the forum as I can't find him in the members list and was gonna ask if him or Jason would swap with me as so I'm sharing with my +1.

    I would have thought you've be better off up the M11 & A1 if you want to munch the miles away on Thursday as Leeds/Manc is a little off the beaten track. You'll not be far from passing me on the A1 at Newark.

    Colin's taking care of the Sunday, you have to sort with him.

    Mate. The names are only for the room because I needed to put a name in, they are no reflection of any sleeping arrangement.
    All that will be sorted when we turn up.

    Ta.

    Thanks gary, didnt know if many were staying over on sunday, but i suppose it depends what time we arrive at the end point.

    Re the names, just checking in advance so everyones happy.

    Colin's updating the first post mate for the third night. I belive he's popping in to the hotel tomorrow to pay the deposits. It's only optional. A good way to finis the weekend IMO

    There's only going to be one person unhappy with the sleeping arrangement.

    The poor sod that's sharing with me. ;)

    I don't sleep that well, hence 3-4 am walks around the isle of man.

    Almost forgot to add the final screen shots. For the bookings too.

    Colin will update the first page when he comes on.

    Just thought I'd add this guys & girls. Worth a share I think?

    Just had the owner on the phone from the CraigLynne Hotel, and the Spean Bridge.
    Because as you can appreciate there's been a lot of adding names extra room etc. They are getting lots of emails from Booking.com telling them of the changes they were quite comcerened.

    Especially when you take into the account I've used your forum names. :D
    I explained that we was a motorcycle forum and Colin had organised a weekend around Scotland.

    Both expressed a real gratitude for me contacting them and that they can't wait to meet us all, especially you Muffking. ;)

    Anyway long story short both hotels have confirmed all eighteen people are booked in with the rooms that are shown, and when we arrive, they will simply put the keys out and we sort ourselves sleeping arangements.

    I'm really pleased about that, because I've got nothing to worry about now.


    As a foot note. Both hotels stated,,if anyone else wishes to join on this trip to ring them directly.
    And let Colin know so he can update page one.

    Ta!

    Slightly off topic. - Is anyone thinking of taking radios?
