    Who is arriving early in Ullapool?

    I'm hoping to be at Ullapool on Wednesday but who else will be arriving early?

    Also

    Any idea which bit of the campsite we have? I'm hoping not to move once pitched.

    I will be at Ullapool Weds pm - But am staying in the pub!
    If you ask in the office on site (or catch the guy sitting in his van at the entrance to the site) he will tell you where to pitch. Last time I was at Broomfield with other bikers they put us near the furthest toilet bloc.

    The area that will be set aside for the National will be "set aside" nearer the time. The site owner / manager has not indicated to me where on the site it is likely to be. He is aware that several people will be arriving early (I thought early was Thursday, so I'll have to let him know that some will be there even sooner in the week). The area will be identified as to who is to use it, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
    If anything changes, I'll let folk know.

    Thanks Steve

    As I say I MAY get there on the Wed. What about payment? Are we paying individually or en masse. Has a discount been offered?

    I am planning to get there Thursday but stay that night in a pub/B&B as I have to work at 6am and need broadband and a certain amount of comfort.

    Yep, you pay when you see the man.

    The manager / owner has quoted me £6 per person per night, which, going by the prices displayed when Raymo & I were there last month, is half the current price
