    Everyone seems to take they're pics from that side of the castle. I honestly think it's far better from the other side when looking from the bridge on the main road. Would make a cracking photo with all the bikes lined up across the bridge with that in the background.

    Ooooo me too ...... I've just got some new all weather riding kit ... Rukka trousers and Belstaff jacket both with CE armour .
    I find my leathers cut into the back of my knees after a couple of hours and dead leg can set in . Plus leathers aren't waterproof .
    Can't wait to try it all out :)

    You should be as comfy as with that riding gear on NT.
    I'm thinking about some all weather gear also. I have my leathers and also textiles for those rainy days, but I think all weathers would be ideal for those in-between season rides.

    Colin - just got the thumbs up from Bruce, he's a goer and wants to book up. Can we get anymore rooms sorted?

    Pm your details and I'll get the money over to you. Let me know what you need...

    I'll ring the first nights hotel the CraigLynne and see if they will/have a triple we can swap for a twin?


    Second night booking isn't a problem. I had to book a triple room at the Spean Bridge hotel so we are a bed spare already

    Only downside is that, I'm sure when I spoke to the owners the other week they said they close down for a couple of months. But leave it with me. Colin will have to sort the other two nights though.

    Hope that helps?

    Jimbo All money goes to Colin,

    Funny that what you say Al. I just replied to Colin's PM and I said, I'd surrender my bed and I'd take a tent and pitch in the hotel gardens if it means Bruce could make it. :)

    Good afternoon folks.
    just an update on the accomodation.

    i have contacted CraigLynne Hotel and i can confirm thre rooms now stand like this


    7 twin rooms
    1 double room
    1 triple room

    in my reckoning that 19 bodies with a bed for friday 10/05/2013

    also rechecked Spean Bridge Hotel accomodation we have
    3 double rooms
    5 twin rooms
    1 triple room

    Again thats 19 bodies taken care of for saturday 11/05/2013
    I suspect this could change? as there are a few people that are still showing an interest?
    Thanks
