Continuing on from my Glencoe thread we've decided to make a week of it.
Clachaig Inn, Glencoe 3rd, 4th & 5th May.Caledonian Hotel, Ullapool for 3 nights (6th, 7th & 8th).the Dreadnaught Hotel, Callander (9th & 10th).Saturday, pack up and go home (11th). Although Lindsey and I are staying in Hotels all these places have camp sites and B&B's to suite all budgets.
I can't guarantee the weather but it's often sunny up there at this time of the year and the midges won't be out in force.
So are you coming along?
It's up to yourselves to book your own accommodation and buy me drinks.
My job is to drink them.

Welcome along.
Good roads and beer guaranteed. Midge free almost definitely. Good weather likely at that time of year but can't be promised

Hi, would be interested in coming along to either Glencoe or Callander part of it. There is not enough Scotland meets

Hopefully I'll see you there then.
I love Scotland, best riding roads I've ever seen IMHO.
The Clachaig is one of my all time favorite pubs. You'll find me in the lounge early on scoffing veggie haggis, neeps & tatties then in the bar

I don't know how many will be coming along yet. The other half and me obviously but beyond that anyones guess. It's hard work convincing people that it's often gloriously sunny north of the border in May. They all want to go later in the year and feed the midges

Of course. You need to sort out your own accommodation but we have picked places with plenty of options for that reason.
It's my birthday party and everyone is welcome.

I wil definitely be there for at least some of the trip. It's true some people don't realise some of the roads up here are the best for bikes

And proper Mildew too.
Fine ride up on Friday as far as Edinburgh then we hit the rain. Lashed it down all the way to the Clachaig. Veggies haggis, neep and tatties went down well as did the beer.
Saturday, lashed it all day, the high point been a walk to the village for some soup. In the bar by 6.
Sunday, got as far as Oban before it rained again. Soaked by the time we got back.
Sunday night over beer(s) we checked the weather forecast. Continuous rain up the northwest for the rest of the week... and glorious sunshine in the Durham!
So we've bailed out and come home.
Rain all the way to Edinburgh, then glorious sunshine all the way through the Borders and Northumberland on the sublime A697.

Anyone fancy a ride out during the rest of the week?
