Found this place only about 1 mile away

Phoned them up, they won't take advance booking, cannot book for June until the end of March!

WTF?

OK, success

I've booked a double ensuite room here for Friday 6th and Saturday 7th June

http://www.dunfraoichhouse.com/

They have 3 B&B rooms, the other 2 are currently AVAILABLE, rate is £70 per night room & B&B.

Phone number: +44 (0)1838 300384 and speak to Louise Rolfe.

Anybody else that books here, we can share a taxi

Must be because I have a propellor badge, not a 4-ringed one?

The fun ain't over yet, need to book something in Edinburgh now

Thought I'd give this a 'bump'. As the Open Day at A8 Parts isn't happening this year, why not spend the petrol money on a trip to Scoland instead folks?

I'm away for a week in Norway, so any queries about the meet should be either here or on PMs to David's8 or briang9. Hope you won't miss me too much!

That's a big crowd.

As said earlier, if nothing will mess my plans I will come even if I will have to sleep in the car, period.

I passed through Tyndrum over the weekend on my way to and from a 'do' in Kinlochleven. The village and Glen Coe were busy with skiers and hill walkers but we decided to keep nice and cosy in the car!

Perhaps we can tempt you back again in June?

We were up driving 'the route' yesterday to check on timings, parking and so on. Photos to follow.
