Would that be in something Japanese and red,with a soft top?????

When looking at the Ullapool area,it is worth remembering that this is the May Day Bank Holiday weekend,there is a music festival on in the village and hotels etc are filling up fast. May well be woth your while,Dave,reserving the number of pitches you feel you can fill and confirming as late as possible....

Thanks for that wee snippet of info Malcolm.

I'll have a word with the "usual suspects" who have already expressed an interest and see what they're saying

I'll try to get the Friday off as well, and possibly meet you guys somewhere on Skye.

Hope so Dave, its early days yet, but we're probably travelling up the day before because of the distance. Talking to the B&B tonight.

Mick

I've had a word with my manager and it appears we "may not" be working on the Friday.
I've said i'll be taking the day off anyway, and they don't appear to have a problem with that

So that means i'll manage to get over there sometime mid afternoon.

what route are you taking Dave?
i,ll probably head over with you as i fancy a bit of a blast from the past..used to work at balmacara hotel when i was just out of college..and im definately taking pics of my car on clunie dam and at eilean donan castle (the one in highlander) on the way over

Got a couple of routes i could take from here Gray
Across to Aviemore then Spean Bridge/Invergarry then onto Kyle OR follow the main road to Inverness then head down the loch side to Invermoriston.

I'd prefer Dufftown/Tomintoul/Grantown/Aviemore as opposed to the A96 to Inverness TBH

im thinking i,ll go.. dunkeld/Dalwhinnie/spean bridge/great glen to kyle.. about 220 miles, 5ish hours and a carbon footprint of about 100kg lol

Could meet up at Spean Bridge if you like

This is going to rock !!! I'm meeting the romers on the Saturday in Ullapool, then heading up to Caithness with them all on the Sunday.

Didn't realise that there were loads more E30's meeting up until I read this post. Quality !!!

Excellant Mick.

I/we should see you on the Friday evening sometime,unless you fancy meeting upwith us en route?

That's a good idea Dave

May as well give this a cheeky wee bump to see if there's any more interest.
