I've spoken with the Cairngorm Hotel about breakfast and they can do us a sit down feed for £6.95 each; that gets you a full breakfast and it is a comfortable place to eat. What do you think? Any takers? Remember, the kitchen in the bunkhouse is very small! About dinner on the Saturday night - do you want me to arrange something at Roos Leap like last year?


Two more for brekkies at the hotel and dinner at Roos good.gif

Can you also put me on the list for brekkie & evening meal wherever.

I stayed at the hotel during last year`s G2G & the brekkie was excellent & could have choked a horse!

Horses can choke very easily as the muscle around their esophagus is wayyy more efficent than humans which renders them unable to blow chunks.

Just looking at the menu for Roo's Leap and saw this at the bottom can anyone explain why they do this?

Service charge is not included. For tables of more than
8 people an automatic charge of 10% will be levied.


I don't have a problem with tipping for good service, but why mandatory for larger parties?

Should we book smaller tables???

The T shirts have been ordered. Same design as last year, but in blue rather than red to match the bikes of the best colour!
Also managed to get them for £10 each.

Hi Dazzer, if you are coming up the M74, turn off at Moffat and take the A701 to Edinburgh. It was listed in one of the bike mags as one of the best bike roads in the UK and it really is. Would be worth the detour, since you will be passing anyway.
Just a thought.
See you soon. AliG
