I won't 100% commit just now but lets discuss nearer the time and I will have a look into it ! But definitely up for it |

I do believe that Ant & Mrs Ant are considering taking their caravan ...
It's only 9 miles from Aviemore so there will be plenty of caravan / camp sites

This is where we are staying in a 5 berth chalet .. Glynn has claimed the final spot . 4 nights self catering at £78.00 each for the 4 nights ...= bargain! Russell may also be joining us ..unconfirmed as yet but looking hopeful. Looks like quite a party ! I'm looking forward to exploring the area further ..I have an excellent set of maps from Bothy Bikes in Aviemore showing 5 different rides and highlighting the best singletrack ..on top of this both volumes of Scotland ..The Wild Trails by Phil Mckane on Vertebrate publishing ..which has 15 routes in this area ..of which I've done 5 ...not forgetting the routes Colin knows Plenty to go at then and I'm sure there will be some duplication ..but it's a case of what to leave out ..or stay for 3 weeks! Plenty of discussion lies ahead ..but that's all part of the experience. www.lochinsh.com/By staying for 2 nights or more we also get free use of the Watersport facilities at the beginning and end of the day ..if anyone has any energy left ... |
