The FS Birthday Weekender

[Boydie2007]

I've already had a look, and I'm not getting much joy for a family room 2adults 1child in fort william all the affordable places are full. So unless anyone can find something it's going to have to be Inverness for me.

As Harper said, a cottage hired out between half a dozen - eight of us might be a better idea?

There's a few places near Fort William that I'm looking at, and I know Harper has a place in mind too.

Unfortunately the place I had in mind is too far north to be feasible but I'll have a word with my spy and see if she can suggest anywhere cheap

Too Early in the year for tents and sleeping bags?

 

[lkc]

It's always too early in the year for some of us :laugh:

 

[M21MFS]

Tents could be an option lol

 

[lkc]

Tents could be an option if they're like this

Although I could probably be persuaded to spend a night in one of these...

But just the one night and only for the novelty value :laugh:

Booked off work this evening, this is a deffo

I will be in Elgin the night before, so will meet the convoy on your way up?

 

[M21MFS]

Good stuff Mike - not sure on concrete plans for the journey up yet, but will know nearer the time.

 

[msb89]

Perfect

im guessing the route will not actually go thru Elgin, but off at Keith, granton on spey etc. so can meet the convoy somewhere

 

[lkc]

I usually cut over at Huntly and head through Dufftown. Perhaps Grantown could be a meeting point...

 

[msb89]

yeh, that would be grand! the Elgin on the Friday night isnt definate, but likely...

 

[lkc]

Actually this may all be a moot point as we're talking about heading to Fort William on the Friday. However as it's looking like camping is the only option for accommodation there is still a chance I'll leave early on the Saturday

 

[msb89]

ah cool!! well like i say, the Friday isnt definate, so could still come up with the group Friday instead. I presume we're bck home Sunday eve??

 

[lkc]

Yep, returning home Sunday afternoon/evening.

 

[msb89]

cool, good stuff

Thinking about something like this for the trip...
