Annual Meet - the hollow mountain
 

After today's final pre-visit to the Annual Meet route, (more from David later) we have another 'attraction' en route for Saturday's tour:

www.visitcruachan.co.uk

We've booked 2 tours (each lasting 30 minutes) at a special rate of £5 per head.

But we must confirm numbers ASAP.

Please let me know on this thread if you want to visit the 'hollow mountain' (it's a tour in a mini bus right into the hollowed out mountain where the power station is housed) and, if we can get numbers confirmed no later than Thursday 15 May, then I'll get it all sorted.

For those that don't want to take this tour, we have other free 'attractions' in store, so you won't have to hang around waiting for those that do. :D

£5?

Great deal, you can put me and Anely down for that one

Sounds interesting. Can you put me down for one please.

I'm in . . . One to add +++

+1 for me please...

As my trip is still uncertain I would say no, but if I get there I would go. I may actually go to Glasgow on Thursday, do a gearbox service @ Mackies, stay over night, wait for the train of 8s from South/London area and join the near Glasgow.

But, now after incident this morning I defo need a respray the car, most of it as planned anyway, do full suspension replacement at the front due to teh dry ball joint sound just for the sake of it, gearbox service of course, wheel refurb cos just the one which got damaged this morning would just look shajt ;)
A lot to ask in less than 5 weeks.

I wouldn't go in so scratched car there, it would be an embarrassment !!!!!
Plus I will be pushing the car on the bendy roads so gearbox is a must same as the suspension.

I had a bump on the way to my first meet and arrived with a broken rear light cluster and a dent in the wing!

Luckily. I'd got in touch with A8 Parts on the way down, and Dave called into the unit on the way, picked up a light cluster and fitted it for me at the meet! +++

So scratched and bent cars are still welcome. :)

Add Michelle and me for that please

Me and wife and 2 kids thanks

2 tickets for me please!

Yes, 2 tickets for us please. +++
As soon as I mentioned it to SWMBO she said, oh yes, that's by Loch Awe and one of her friends had done the tour fairly recently.

I think that people will find this appeals to a broad range of people - its not just for technically obsessed engineers. There is also a really good visitor centre / cafe/ shop at the entrance on the shore of Loch Awe for those who dont want to go inside the mountain. And for those who dont want to go on this trip, we will probably split the group at this point and one of us will lead off to the next items of interest.

First tour full already! +++

Count me in

And 3 already on bus 2. We weren't sure about this one at first, but it's proving popular. Even SWMBO wants to go! :)

4 of us please :)

2 for me please!

:ROFL::ROFL: You can park next to mine, it'll look fine, don't be such a tart.

5 for me please Jim

Add me to the list please

Maximum of 9 places left folks. First come first served!

:ROFL: spoken like the true non-OCD member of this forum you are! And, anyway M_A8, you wont be pushing it on these roads too much as there are too many tourists and coaches!

Dezzy, As you obviously have kids with you, - unless you are bringing the oldies? - the price for them is less than the £5 concession price - 6 - 16 yrs £2.50, under six years are free.

What about over-65's? ;)

The concession we got was for over 60s! Somehow - and I cant think how - Jim and I managed to convince them that the whole party consisted of "senior" citizens! ;)

Dezzy, Richard and Gordon: please let me know if your kids are all under 16.

Thanks

Oops! Beaten to it by IT, I'm afraid.

We now have a waiting list. I'll see if I can get another tour.....

Guys

I think we may be able to book a third tour, but I'm chasing up the following to see if they want to reserve a place:

Trophy885
Clive H
Tonupkid
Dave@A8Parts
Goran

Give me a shout guys and let me know.

Thanks.

We now have 44 places on 2 tours, all fully booked and everyone who has asked to go has a place! :)

But no response from Clive H, Dave@A8Parts or Goran for either the distillery or the hollow mountain.
