Road Trip Skye via Applecross.

[Growler]

Jess, Jim, Andy, Gordon I think you lot should head for mine on the Fri afternoon. That way you can grab a coffee before we head off to meet the rest. You will pass my place on route so wont add to the journey.

Jim leaving on the Sunday is no problem would have been nice to see Skye as you will be up here, but needs must and all that mate.

Cheers for the invite Brian, will be taking you up on that one Will get more details from you closer to the time.

Hoping to meet up with BPS on the way up as we will be passing him on the way up. Not sure which route Jess and Jim will be taking.

Hi guys, not long now eh?

Just a few questions so that I am well prepared in advance. Do we bring our own food? By that I mean will we be having a BBQ and if so is it bring your own or everyone chuck money in and buy in bulk?

Another daft question is do we bring disposable BBQ's etc. What about beer (a very important subject)? I will be filling the coolbox with 24 bottles of Bud Ice (that should see me through Friday night anyway)!

Sorry for the daft questions but I don't want to be sitting eating a sausage roll while everyone else is tucking into chicken breast, burgers, chops etc. I don't want to look like a south of the border sassenach numpty!

Jim we can get coked breakfast on the site, there is also a very nice Bar Grill a mile or two away from our first stop, that we could use on the Fri night.
Some back up supplies won't go wrong but we can buy them local to me before we head off.

Cool Box and Beer? did you really have to ask

[Scorpion]

Spot on mate! Off to Costco for me beers and that's me sorted!

See you on Friday!

Okay folks for those that have never been a wee update.

The first night wigwam campsite supplies every wigwam with a BBQ/Fire logs and peat blocks can be bought on sight, each wigwam also has 240v elec.
There is a shower block and a TV lounge. There will be cooked breakfast avaliable for purchase on site.

On the Fri night if we prefer not to BBQ there is a Bar and Grill a mile down the road.

I would advise everyone to purchase skin so soft from the Avon site, this will stop the midge biting you, although the little feckers are normally only out for a couple of hours.

If the sunshines we have some great sights to see starting with the replanted Scottish pine forest at the first nights stop featuring a lovely waterfall. {so our Alan tells me}

Been looking forward to this since booking it and can't wait for friday to come round even though i'm heading way down south to Helston on monday.


Regarding the Avon product is this the right one Skin so Soft Before I order it.

Yep, the original unscented stuff.
