Hi Joe, a young blade like you confused? Surely not! hide.gif I'm in the bunkhouse on Fri & Sat. I'll be booking the Sunday night separately, when I get around to it. I'm definitely up for breakfast at the Cairngorm Hotel , I'd sooner have a big breakkie and no lunch, so the £6.95 is bearable, but others may think that's too steep. Still, it's cheaper than burning the kitchen down rotflmmfao.gif . As for the Saturday night meal, we had a good night at the Roos Leap last year, so I'm fine with that again. Thanks again for sorting all this Joe, really looking forwards to it. yahoo.gif

He right. I'm still waiting for a date on my house move which should be taking place over the next 2 weeks, but Estate Agent is not playing ball.
Highly annoying as I have not done any touring this year apart from the odd day out

I think the missus & would like to come down and say hi to a few of you guys and perhaps join you for a few miles of the local scenery. Will you be putting approximate times up for the Saturday rideout closer to the event?

If the missus is working, we'd likely have to meet up part of the way through, but if not we could join you from the outset.

Cheers

I'm up for that unless I do something silly like get a job. Planning on taking the tent and seeing a bit of Scotland. Keep forgetting to give Altberg a bell though.

Just been talking to my manager and circumstances mean that neither of us will be able to make the Aviemore gig this year. We understand that this will be a major disappointment to you all but please don't cancel it just because of us not being there. So this means that Paddy and my bunkhouse places are up for grabs. Oh and I'll take the Tee shirt I ordered but I'll only wear it inside out in shame - PM to the vendor on the way. Going to miss it as it is one of the highlights of the year.

I'll get a couple of rideouts organised over this weekend. I was planning (hopefully still am!) taking a spin up north this weekend to check out a few routes but the forecast is crap. Still - we'll see.

Cool. I'll look forward to that.

As you say, the forecast is crap for this WE, so Im not all that bothered about getting my forks back from the dealers. Having them back and fitted by Bank Holiday weekend would be nice though....
