does that mean that you are going up on the friday?

if so do you mind if i tag along?

also which way are you going?

i think Mudwiz is heading up on the friday - might also be able to hook up with him?

Yep, setting off on the Friday around 8 or 9 am, Camping at the JOG Campsite that night.

A convoy sounds good to me,

I have no idea which way I'm going, was thinking about straight up the M6 until it stops around Glasgow then just wing it. Not really looked at a map yet so don't know best way from there.

Anyone else interested?

I would like to go up by a different route than the one we're taking on Saturday. So I'm planning to go up Via Loch Lomond , Glen Coe, Fort William, The Great Glen , Inverness and then go to Thurso , and JOG.

I think ? so far, Bandit is planning to do the same and perhaps some of the bunkhouse crew may be interested in joining us , I discussed it breifly with Chad.

What do you think ?? plan a rendevous at the Erskine Bridge and .......??


HAPPY HAPPY DAYS

Erskine Bridge is the lowest bridging point on the Clyde - West of Glasgow.

Hold that thought and we'll get a reasonable time for everyone and arrange something the week before we set off .............

May need a fresh thread ????

I have just booked a room at the Seaview Hotel in JoG (£2 and the Lands End Hotel at errr, Lands End (£85). Quite surprised they both still had space. I am getting proper excited and nervous now. 850miles is a fooking long way.

I have also sent an email to everyone in my personal address book at work the other day about the Longest Day and asking for contributions to Macmillan. I planned to keep it all low key and expected just a few quid but the response has absolutely staggered me.

In 2 days about £160 has gone on the Justgiving website and I have a similar figure in cash waiting to be paid in (and more to come) plus promises for further £500+ including one of £250 provided I send him start and finish pictures showing completion in under 24hours and the contents of a collection for someone who recently died of cancer - his widow said give to a Cancer charity so about £150 is headed my way soon. FANTASTIC

This seems to have hit the right spot at work. Everyone seem to think I am either some sort of red-eyed amphetamine crazed Lunatic or a charitable and saintly adventurer raising money for the needy. Whatever its all good and the money is rolling in.

Awesome work Austin

The room situation is best described as ''fluid''. What happens is people ring up and reserve rooms, so you can get told theres no rooms - then people cancel, so you ring up a week later and get told there's loads of rooms.
