Bob, where are you booked into?
Nothing official yet Tony. I'm planning to get a room at the Highrange, still availability but costly.
Price has come down £15/night since I last looked but still £115 for the two nights!!
Feckit, i'm worth it

Hey tony look at pine bank chalets in Aviemore they have availability for your dates. You can get a chalet that sleeps up to six people for £390 for three nights! Thats £65 each for the three nights. Got to be worth a look.

Looks like I'll not be joining you for the rideouts as SWMBO has plans for France. Dont forget that Papa Rock's was good last year for Saturday dinner http://www.paparock.org/.
For breakfast you have the Happy Haggis which is two minutes from the hostel and the Cairngorm Hotel another two minutes up the road.

Hi Tony,
Just checked with them, they have no more rooms available - only dorm beds.
The 6 bookings that I made are in a quad room & a twin room - we were originally in two quads but they have obviously changed that since they are so busy.
If it helps any, it is looking unlikely that I will make it as I am short of a bike at present
After my off I decided to go down the insurance route & the bike was classed as a cat c write-off (Pete did warn me about this!), they reckon a cost of 3170 quid to repair the plastics I broke, paint & labour - unbelivable!
I`m presently waiting to see what sort of pay out fiqure they will dream up - so if it helps then my place is available ?

Is this still on the 9th to the 11th of September?
I'll look in to getting a pass from the missus so might come along, perhaps this would help with splitting accommodation costs?
