Many thanks Jim. I just called the Tyndrum Inn hotel (01838 4002019) and asked them to move my room reservation from your credit card to my credit card, which they did. See you all in June

Thanks Sergey. I don't think they'll charge until after the stay. They just want a credit card in case you don't show up.

Ferry booked and paid for.

Room booked and paid for (was given the option of putting it on Jim's card, which was nice, but declined).

Let's hope my health will be better than it is now.

Cheers. 20 year old injury playing havoc, on top of my current condition... but it's all booked and paid for, so now have the impetus to attend. Will be bringing my camera as well.

Well, after much deliberation, I have decided to dump the family and drive up to Scotland. HID is getting a new kitchen and muggins will be fitting most of it once the builder has blocked up doors, a window and fitted an RSJ. I will need a chillax and this sounds like just the ticket.

I have booked a room at the Inn (They have run out of Single en-suite but have basic single left so I snagged a Double). I will be staying for Friday and Saturday night leaving sometime during Sunday but I will not be dashing off.

I am unsure what time I would arrive on Friday as I will be at work, so I will have to try to slope off early so I get the chance of an evening meal.

Excellent! They did say they would try to accommodate singles in double rooms if they ran out.

We'll ensure that they keep a hot meal and beer ready. We'll even wait up for you!

Hi

I'm coming and may even book soon just for the sake of it because I'm still not 100% sure. Worst comes to worst and I will camp in the car if that will be necessary.
On the 1st of Feb I will know for sure.

If everything works out I will be looking forward to it very much

Whilst it was a bit more due to single occupancy, to be fair they were kind with the costs. As it will be about 6 or so hours, a hot meal would be welcome the beer essential.

Good to hear. The Tyndrum Inn owner seemed OK with about "no shows". They will take credit card details for a booking but said that they wouldn't charge for "no show" unless it really was at the last minute and they couldnt fill the room. They get so much "walk in" trade (literally - its on the west highland way) that its unlikely they couldnt fill the room.
