I'm planning this http://www.aviemore-....com/rooms.html for the weekend beginning Friday 4th September. Before I start booking things I need to gauge the interest from you scabby lot tongue.gif excl.gif People who have been before will confirm that the roads are great and that Aviemore has good eating and drinking dens. So over to you my two wheeled compadres...let me know if you're interested.

A week or two later wouldn't be a problem to me. I chose the first weekend of September as it starts to get a little cooler in the Highlands earlier than it does down south.

This sounds good Nanook, I have checked their website, and am well impressed. Will you be doing a joint booking for everyone? If so, when and how will we pay you? Are the prices set in stone, or may there be a discount for a group booking?
Keep us all posted!

Knowing the owner of the bunkhouse I very much doubt that we would get a special rate - even though he's a biker! As soon as I get enough peeps making a commitment I'll do the booking for everyone. SO come on you LOT!

It's a long way from Kerry Joe. Early September would suit as the longer days give me more chance of a day each way getting there and home. The last one in Bellingham late in September was difficult enough.

Weather is usually good but it can't be guaranteed excl.gif But of course....a bit of weather shouldn't deter a TDM rider tongue.gif

Joe,

I'll be there for sure (if im still allowed an 'all - traitor etc etc).

For me, the weekend beginning the 4th would be ideal but i can make almost any date.

Thanks, Dave

BTW, Sandy on the lava red 900 at bellingham would probably come to - that ok too?
