Highland Mini Meet
High Folks
Just to let anyone who is interested know that a few of us have got our heads together to arrange a mini meet in the highlands for the weekend beginning 28th May - Camping available in Cannich (25 miles from Inverness )
Cannich Caravan & Camping Park - Situated in the Scottish Highlands at Glen Affric near Loch Ness
I have checked with the owners who wont be turning anyone away as i understand has happened on a previous meet
This will be a good opportnity to catch up with Angus and Paul - who should have lots of tales to tell from their Africa trip.
A few definites so far
Bruce and Stella
Doug
Angus
Paul
Chris and Beej
Look forward to some more replies

I knew this would happen! Its the same weekend as the Northern Ireland HU meeting, which I've booked on
I've been checking on Angus and Paul's blog. Affric 2 Africa - Charity Fund Raiser
It looks like they are making good progress, and would love to hear their stories when they get back! So I'm planning on coming up there sometime over the summer (with loads of Skin so Soft!). Hope to meet Stella, my Serow Sister too!!

Hi Bruce, If i can I will be there - may be to early for the back to be sorted but we will see - however I will try to use the shorter / quicker route this time - so by my calculations that must be to Peterhead and turn left. Jake.

Helloooo... Just had my half day holiday for Friday (PM) confirmed
So my plan is to Finish work at 12:30 (Edinburgh, City) and shoot  back home (Bathgate) to load up the kitchen sink etc...(I like to keep my pots and pans clean)  and meet up with you guys at the petrol station/Mac Dons just before the bridge.
Is the plan still a 3:00pm meet there?

yep, that's fine. I'll PM you my mobile number, can you txt on the day to say you're leaving Bathgate? I expect we'll leave the centre of town at the same time.
cheers,
Doug

Dougie - I will be up in Cannich middle of the day on friday long before your leaving Edwins burgh, But Keiren is finishing work at 1.30 in Rothbury and heading North Hoping to meet the Posse at the services before the bridge he reckons he will be there by three - which sounds about right for the distance he needs to cover so will hopefully meet up with you all. What time are you expecting to arrive in Cannich ? if you don't get lost on route.

it depends how many bikes really. re-fuelling takes a while with 5 or more bikes. but I expect no later than 7 pm. it's still light till, 9 ?
the route works out at 200 miles from edinburgh centre. I am thinking of re-fueling at Dalwhinnie, which is about half way.
has he got my number, just incase he gets delayed ?
Bruce, what's the next fuel station after Spean Bridge (open on a Friday evening) ?
cheers

Will do
I'll fill up just outside Bathgate so I don't add to the Q at the pumps.

Membership - help keep us going!

What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
