Big Mac - Feasibility Study :)

Hi All

Been meaning to be get my finger out to sort this for far too long now so apologies for that.

Looking at 1st Weekend in August for Big Mac this year.

Thinking of Braemar Youth Hostel as a base for anyone who wishes to stay there (plenty of other accommodation around too) - they still have space at the moment.

We've been here before (2010) - Some photos here - link

(some with LOTS more hair)

Have a look here to get a feel for the area - http://braemarscotland.co.uk/

Link to the SYHA site here - link

To book the Youth Hostel (group booking) I want minimum of 12 folks interested before we commit.

Friday 1st August 2014 for 3 nights.
Rideouts on the Saturday and Sunday.

Can folks post up their intention to attending please (and whether or not you'd like to stay at the youth hostel).
Probably be looking for deposits by the end of the month (circa £20) I think.

Thinking the total cost for accommodation (most food and a few clink

) will be around £80.....This should cover breakfast, one or probably two dinners at the hostel and a few scoops of light refreshments.

Looking forward to hearing from y'all.

Cheers
Rosco

Also, those photos made me sad, I loved that hair..... sad

Just out of curiosity I had a look around to see if any of the old places we used to stay when Skiing/Walking/Kayaking etc. were still around up there, but they've mostly gone or have turned into full blown bunkhouses.
(We used to go in groups of up to 16+ and found it saved a lot of bother if we could rent a full place to ourselves.)

Tbh, some of them were RAF, but they did the job for not much cost. Very Happy

(most of use were on the dole)

I did run across this though, if you are looking to snag a full place to yourselves for only a couple of quid more than the Youth Hostel:

Works out at £21 a head per night based on 12 people, and £15.75 a head for 16.
