Grasmt Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Im happy to help look into accommodation for around the grampian area, Couldnt speak for accommodation for the west coast, Glasgow, Edinburgh areas think that would be better suited for members from said area. They'll have an idea of the best places id imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'd rather the accommodation be like chalets, near a lake or something. Out of the way with nice roads to it. Make a nice weekend of it, bbq, camp fire etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattwatt Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If you want to meet some forum members get yourself down to the Bluewater meet this Friday at 7.30 pm. Check out the Bluewater thread for directions I would love to come across to this but unfortunately wifey out with her friends for the evening so I'm at home on babysitting duty's for my baby girl lol, I don't think a supra meet till late with a 4 year old is the best idea lol... I'll certainly be up for the next one tho June sounds like a potential for me, I just wouldn't be able to do August or September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 How about something on the shores of Loch Lomond? I'm sure they do chalets and lodges as well as static caravans etc. This is the starting point really of some fantastic roads up towards Arrochar, Inverary, and on up to Glen Coe. Excellent roads and scenery! Loch Lomond is only about 15miles west of Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasmt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Thats not a bad shout, you could make a weekend exploring the west coast, start or meet up as a group at Loch Lomond, head north through the hills, (and ill vouch for scenery as i head down to fort william snowboarding every year the scenery will mesmerise you!) Head to fort augustus maybe and follow the banks of loch ness ( maybe find nessy) either continue north or head south east through aviemore and the cairngorms to perth then its only an hours drive to glasgow... Food for thought maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent roads and scenery! Loch Lomond is only about 15miles west of Glasgow. I would 2nd this, great idea for a starting point. Also I would say that the dramatic change in landscape that occurs when you cross into Skye is too good to omit. The road to applecross is also highly recomended- although it's not driven at higher than 40mph and it's single track- so may require a staggared run over it depending on numbers to avoid problems at passing points. Needs to be seen to be believed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So who's going to take charge? I think to get better numbers, if someone looks at a location, costs of the rooms/chalets/caravans. Then look at routes and things to do over the weekend. Once that's been roughed out,mother people will be able to gauge how much it's going to cost to get there, do it and get back.

Grasmt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What would everyone prefer, one place to be used as a "base" and from there explore scotland on each day, Or Start at loch lomond, work our way up and across stopping off in a different location each night?

tony tt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'd say spread it about. For most it will be their first trip to Scotland and maybe their last so I'd suggest maybe two locations to stay at to see as much as possible for people. IMO.

Grasmt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ok well for example, if we say we'll all meet at Loch Lomond and have accommodation there for everyone, from there heading north over the west coast and maybe across from there to Aviemore and have accomodation there, then work our way south towards the boarder and break off? So in short •loch lomond •Aviemore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
