Big Mac 2015 - Who's up for it (Friday 31st July 3 nights) Ullapool ( & two great days of rideouts )

First topic message reminder :

Hi Folks

Big Mac 2015 - Thinking of going back to Ullapool the first weekend in August (Scottish Bank Holiday weekend) and we need commitment from at least 10 (preferably a few more) that wish to stay at the youth hostel - HERE
Ideally if everyone could stay all 3 nights if possible but we might be able to accommodate less nights if some folks really need it.
(other accommodation available if youth hostel doesn't float your boat)

Friday 31st July for 3 nights - Rideouts on the Saturday and Sunday.

Some pictures of when we were there 4 years ago to whet your whistles HERE and HERE

Prices will be cheap n cheerful as usual - approx £35 pppn (give or take a bit) and that includes breakfast, evening meals and drinks (although we might go out the Saturday or Sunday night)

We'd need a small deposit soon to confirm the booking and the rest in June.

Will work out finer details once we've got enough numbers to go ahead with a booking.

I should be able to put some folks up heading from down south to help break up their journey (as Ullapool is way up North) and to help keep folks costs down.  Some of you might even get a real bed.

Cheers
Rosco

It's a hard old life for the islanders as you can see...

We're jealous of your scones and dry weather Gill.

Davie - I was thinking of this way but we might change it depending on the weather - https://goo.gl/maps/qPIAC
Plan was to stop at Tyndrum for a dry out / coffee / lunch.

We can check in at Ullapool from 5pm on Friday and they lock the outside doors every night @ midnight so no late night partying (unless you are the right side of the door) and keep the noise down.

Cheers
Rosco

we'll be going through Tyndrum as well, don't know what time though, maybe 1 ish.

Sent you a text Terry.

Yep thats the way to go from Drumnadrochit, Rosco...

Have a great weekend guys, hope you all get some decent weather and the roads are good to you. Keep it shiny side up, most jealous that we can't be there with you. Looking forward to many great pictures.... just hoping Rosco hasn't managed to replaced his cups yet for the dice game

Boat is just leaving Stornoway. It's wet and windy here, I hope the other side of the Minch has better weather...
