kev91 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 After speaking with Steve today, he suggested that if the guys that are thinking about travelling from the north could meet us at ballachulish if us wish to save us a few miles if your coming down the A82 that is. I think see it is going to be a nice day we could go for fish&chips for lunch or would folk prefer somewhere else? Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matta Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Kev - Fish & chips would do me nicely, or pub grub if anyone prefers. Do you have anywhere in mind? There are plently of places in Oban I'm sure and a few on the way down around Appin - the first one I found is the Castle Stalker View cafe (big carpark), next is the Cregan Inn, then Oyster Inn at Connel, Wide Mouthed Frog at Dunstaffnage (used to be our old house a long, long time ago - might be a bit expensive). Tons of Chippy's in Oban itself. Maybe someone has a recommendation and best place to park? I've not been there for a while. Cheers, Matt ps - all of the above have websites.

frag68 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The oyster in is nice. Stopped there on a pistonhead run earlier this yeat. Food was good and plenty of parking. Kev amd ian were also there. Fraser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Dastardly Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm flexible Although I wouldn't want you to change stuff yet just in case I don't make it, unless others have commited of course. Is there anywhere in Ballachulish for a coffee and bacon roll? On the lunch front....again flexible but would prefer a sit down than munching chips on the street, especially if its cold and raining Matta- You used to live in a wide mouthed frog? Is that a Jonah thing? Was it a mobile home? You know, just hop from here to there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matta Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Matta- You used to live in a wide mouthed frog? Is that a Jonah thing? Was it a mobile home? You know, just hop from here to there Strange name I know, dunno why it's called that. It was a house we rented when my dad started working in Oban. At that time (early 60's) it was just a house on it's own with a ramshackle barn attached to it. Not sure what's in Ballachulish but there's bound to be a cafe to meet at. Anyone know?

Matta Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Doug - There's a cafe about half a mile back towards Glencoe on the A82 after you come over the bridge. It'll be on your right just off the road, called 'Crafts & Things' , PH49 4HN. Looks like plenty of space to park and we can see you from the road on the way past. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Dastardly Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 and we can see you from the road on the way past. Or see me from the cafe as I whizz past, missing the turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2T Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Anybody else take female passengers on this sort of jaunt? Nah I prefer the peace and quiet (or noise of exhaust/jenveys) rather than the squeals then the 'can you slow down' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
