    Gary, re the menu think it changes each day - when I wrote to them a month ago idea was to get that days menu and we all order at lunch and phone through numbers for each.

    Will print off a sheet for each day to bring

    You can, but if drinking at the bar please don't sit on the owners bar stool as it's for Scotsmen only.

    I'll be down in Moffat this week Al to get this sorted. Was a bit busy that weekend.
    If they can't do something then I'll get us booked into either an Indian restaurant or another hotel for dinner.

    Just spoke with Lux / Teviott House B&B (its been re-named) to confirm the Thursday evening booking -

    He has 13 people booked in with 9 at his guest house and 4 at the one called Northbridge (next door but one) - I'll do some rough room allocations to make it easier on arrival.

    He does not want paying in advance, so its £35 per head payable on arrival. Will speak to Colin to tidy up the 1st post a little regarding Thursday evening accom. etc. to make it clearer.

    Been down to Moffat today to check out the roads and also get us all booked into a nice place for dinner.
    I have us booked in, but I'll wait till they send me some suggestions for the night, and then I'll post up here and edit the first post to suit.
    They are also going to section off a part of they're resteraunt for all of us, where we can use a laptop or whatever we like to go through footage of the trip (I'll pick up a laptop on way there on last days trip).
    They are also willing to buy in any specific drinks for anyone if need be. (it's also a wine bar).

    The roads have held up really well surprising. A few small potholes near the edge of the road but nothing more.

    Nice one Colin. Mine looked similar yesterday. So at least I know I'm on the same page. Did you also join the two long straps under the rear under tray?

    Probably just One thing in them pictures that could worry a few?


    If your on satnav? They are fcuked ;)

    Never joined the the straps under the undertray mate. I attached mine round the rear subframe by taking off the plastics using the Sinewave method. (I'll fetch the link)

    I need satnav for the first days travel mate. I haven't been up that way on the bike before (cairngorms rollercoaster), but I'm sure a few of the guys joining us on the first days trip will be kind enough to show us the way if we become stuck ;)
