IMPORTANT, Please read Highland drive info
Ok folks it turns out that our planned trip to Mull will now not go ahead.
Accommodation is non existent due to there being an annual music festival starting on the Friday and most of the hotels etc are already pre booked
Peter and I have been in discussion about this and we have decided that we shall head to Skye on the Thursday and cover part of the island that afternoon.We will stay on Skye on Thursday night and do the rest of the island on Friday before heading to Ullapool.
Bearing in mind our numbers....20 cars.....30 people.....it's proving difficult to get somewhere to accommodate us all. The Cluanie Inn (just outside Kyle of Lochalsh) was a possible but can't quite take the numbers.
At the moment I'm in negotiation with the Uig Hotel. Some may remember we had lunch there a couple of years ago. They can just about fit us all in but I'm going to need some help as some folks will have to share a room...not ideal I know but it's the best I can do at the moment. Listed below is a possible room scenario going on the accommodation available.
8 double rooms
_____________
Bob and Ann
Peter and Emma
James and Dale
Stewart and Patsy
Scott and HWMBO
Vinny and Stacy
Alan and Ria
Ian and Jo
--------------------------
5 twin rooms
_____________
Chris and Pete
Tom and Jimmy
Ian and Alan
Stu
-----------------------
1 triple room
_____________
Dick, Kieran, Topdownman
---------------------------
4 single rooms (all the snorers!!)
TLF
Peter
Nic
Steve
____________________________________\
At the moment the cost PER HEAD regardless of room is £70 Dinner Bed and Breakfast.
I am trying to negociate this and will confirm as soon as I can but I'm keen to get the accommodation in place then we can move forward with the routes.
I hope most of you are happy with the above. If anyone is really unhappy about the sharing bit pm me but I'm pretty limited in what I can do.
Thanks for your cooperation guys

Re: IMPORTANT, Please read Highland drive info
Fine with me Ann.
On Friday we should have time do this loop - https://goo.gl/maps/TBrqD7fFvhy
AFAIK we have never driven the A855 round the top of the island.
Plus it means we get a second crack at the Quiraing as well.
And maybe even include the B8083 to Elgol and back? - https://goo.gl/maps/3SJap1v9LxG2

Oooh, does that mean we'll be using the Mallaig-Armadale ferry? - https://goo.gl/maps/S9x6zFZXNHyRipley wrote:Peter and I have been in discussion about this and we have decided that we shall head to Skye on the Thursday and cover part of the island that afternoon.We will stay on Skye on Thursday night and do the rest of the island on Friday before heading to Ullapool.

If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Re: IMPORTANT, Please read Highland drive info
Hopefully we can cover pretty much all of the island, so bits we haven't had time to do before.
The ferry is a possibility but we are keen to get the accommodation in place first then we can sort the routes/options from there.
Thanks for your input Froggy

Hi guys,
Just a gentle reminder about deposits, these need to be paid by the 30th of November or preferably sooner as we need to pay the hotels to secure our accommodation.
Cheers
