Lorna and I are booked into glencoe on the Monday  so we will be up around 3 in the afternoon

 

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Really looking forward to this and so ready for the break.

it cannot come fast enough and so looking forward to joining you all.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Only a few weeks to go.

if any wants to join us even for an hour or two on any of our days then you are more than welcome.

I sent you a pm Geoffrey, but I'm planning on meeting you on Thursday 1st June as you pass through Kyle of Lochalsh on your way up to Durness. I'll be with you up to Lochinver as I have been requested to bring back pies from the Lochinver Pie Shop for the family. The pies are legendary, and the best you'll ever eat! (worth a look at their website).

I'll also meet up on your way down through the Cairngorms on the Monday after your Orkney visit. I live about 7 miles from the Culloden Battlefield site, so if you're planning a visit there, I could meet you.

Did you manage to fit in a visit to Beauly in your itinerary for your French Toast?

David

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Hi David.

Not sure about Beauly this year. I did look on the map but not going that far over.

I could always take a camping stove and if you can get the recipe we could make some by the roadside somewhere.

I like the sound of the pies....perhaps that is why I am so overweight.

More than happy to meet you at Culloden and already looking forward to it.

Wonder if Les can join us. 

[Ali and Gail]

Ummmmmmm. Pies  http://www.lochinverlarder.co.uk/ is this the one 

Culloden Battlefield on our hit list if there is time.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

WOW. 

7.95 for a sausage sandwich.

[David-hrv]

Yes, that's the one. It's better to take the pies away and eat them at the harbour or by the river. We usually go to Achmelvich beach, which isn't far away, and eat them there. It's a narrow road to get to it, but do-able. My favourite is Venison & Cranberry pie - it's a little deer, err I mean dear (groan, I'll get my coat!).

Ali, are you travelling down from Orkney with Geofferey, or are you going separately? I've lost track of who is joining the party at various points. I'll meet you at the Battlefield anyway, whichever day you are there. Our astronomical observatory (Highlands Astronomical Society) is on the same site at the other end of the car park from the visitor centre. Afterwards, we can drive down into the Cairngorms.

I will have to have a scan of your itinerary would like to meet up for a few hours run. I'm near Glasgow so probably when you're a bit further towards the south

You will probably want to meet us on our final three days as we will be staying at Killin.

Sounds good

How much, didn't look at the prices.

I think I better increase the budget for trip

Myself, Geoffrey and Gary are travelling south together from the Orkneys.

Gary I believe is then heading home, Geoffrey is heading to Killin and we will be heading on to Aviemore and staying one night there before joining Geoffrey again in Killin for 2 nights.

Maybe to meet at the Battlefield as a group would be a good idea then people can go there separate ways.
