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

Had a word with the blue rinse brigade as they were sailing down the Humber estuary at about 6.30. They will sort their own accom. I don't think any of them have ever boiled a kettle or handled a dishcloth in their lives before.

As much as I'm determined to take in a ride out north of the border I'm afraid that once again due to my piss poor holiday allowance it wont be this year. We've changed Assen up again and I cant miss this (due to the fact that I also now organise it), BC, TOL (amongst others) and trying to fit a family holiday into 15 days I'm coming up short on days. I'm sure it'll be a cracker despite my absence and I will get there one day.

That's a shame Davie. Fingers crossed things change nearer the time but meeting up over one of the days will be the next best thing.

Made a booby with the cost.....It'll be more like £35 pppn rather than £45 (sounding even better already)
Need a deposit of £20 pp ASAP and the remainder (£85) by the 5th June

Deposits in the next couple of weeks for those already signed up please.
There are no single rooms unfortunately.
We have two twins (our two couples already using them), a triple (single and a bunk) and the rest will be shared dorms / bunk beds.
Your dad could maybe have the triple with you and Paul??
We all have ear plugs though don't we??
I find a large nightcap normally helps.
If you get a deposit to me for your dad I'll book another space at the hostel.
Terry's pals (the remainder of dads army said they are coming but sorting their own accommodation.
There are quite a few b&b's dotted around too if your dad fancies somewhere other than the hostel.
Cheers

I am a huge maybe for this, it looks as though the stars may align for me to join you on my way south for a night.
Any ideas on the routes yet Rosco? I'll see how it ties in with ferries and dates.
Looks like I may get my West Coast fix in this year after all! Will keep you posted!

Hi All
Remaining £85 due this week please so I can pay the hostel.
Eddie990 is looking to take your space Alleycat (he only needs Fri and Sat night)
There might still be spaces at the hostel so if we get any more takers I'll just add Chris's requirements on and the rest of the booking the same.
We currently have 13 spaces for 3 nights.
Have a look HERE if you need a good reason to attend.
FYI - Saturday's route is likely to include Applecross and Sunday is likely to include the very North Coast.
Cheers
Rosco

Update -
Chris Eddie990 is not able to commit to staying over anymore (he might still try and join us as some point)
TCatCarson is joining us now and is looking to take Alleycat's space.
Alex - Once Lee pays I'll be able to return your deposit

In a secret message Alex told me just to use his deposit as mine, and that he'd deny this if asked about it later.
Delighted to be back on the 'Cat map and looking forward to revisiting the "best roads in Scotland" (my quote)
Big Mac 2011
See you all there,

Quality pictures Lee. I'm more a quantity man hoping that a quality one slips through the net every now and again.
Great to have you back for a home run.
