Ive just booked at the Royal. Offered room at the back overlooking the buckets or one sharing a balcony at the front. I can look at buckets anytime, in fact am frequently to be found raking in folks 'buckets' figuratively speaking whereas there's quite a dearth of spectacular mountains and lochs in Aberdeen. No contest!
Have you got Heather yet? I seem to have missed her arrival or have you decided to stay with the van?
I was assured it was the one on the web page, but heck I'm sure if there is one looking at bins then we'll be sure to get the keys for it :rolleyes:Quote:

Sounds like about 7 of us are sharing the last room !!
Hope my Single room is still there. It's bound to be facing the bins. ;)

Heather? What about Heather?
"about 12 rooms in total left in the hotel on the 22 nd" as of today.
My PC blew up there so lost all my email so asked for confirm email that I had a single room confirmed, and yes its no facing the the front - those bins better look stunning. :smilewinkgrin:

Apologies to the Royal Hotel for starting the bins saga.:D lol
We stayed at the hotel last year and it was lovely., think all the rooms have nice views and the satff, including bar maid called Bumble, were all great. Think a few pints if Guiness may be consumed:thumbs up:
:off topic:Sheilz, yes we have sold Van and now have white Works. No great pictures, as I'm back in the Manky Club for now....nice car though:yes nod:

Love that route.
Looks magic, would love to give it a whirl but the Ullapool Accomodation sounds sketchy.
Just before I forgetQuote:

Love camping but as most folk, after a long drive I would prefer to dump motor and have a beer and a bit of scran.
Still a virgin to MINI Runs, been on oodles of classic mini runs

Cheers Paul. Hope you get a great turn out. Weather as well was amazing last year, so fingers crossed.Quote:

Just to let you know that we wont be able to make the run now as we are down at Silverstone that week.:D:D
Hopefully next year, some fantastic roads up there.:yes nod:
Neil and Lorna.:D:D
...........and after that ................ what about round Britain tour maybe as a charity event?
I know it would cost and take a bit of planning but I'd love a Euro trip, Top Gear style..............but like the idea of the Islands.
That far south :rolleyes:Quote:

Were booked into the Royal on Sat night
Not staying Sunday night as Helen has to work on Monday
Do I need to post somewhere on Northern Mini?
Cheers
Duncan & Helen
Paul,
what time do you think we will be in Inverness for on the Sunday? Jude is getting the train down the road on the Sunday so she can make work on the Monday and the train she needs to get is the 16:15hrs train which goes straight to Stirling. Does that fit with your plan?
well thats me booked in at inverness now as well
I make it 283 miles all in for day two to the lodge on (Tyre) . Also giving me 7hr 46 mins but that’s at Tom Tom speeds and I guess some of the roads are 50MPH max does not take Lunch into account etc.
Guesstimate.
Ullapool to Durness 69 Miles with a stop at said bridge.
Durness to Tongue 30 Miles
Tongue to Thurso 43 Miles
Thurso to John O' Groats 21 Miles
John O' Groats to Wick 17 Miles
Wick To Inverness Lodge 106 Miles.
John O' Groats Roughly around 12:30-1PM
John O' Groats to Inverness 123 miles 2:39hrs at Tom Tom normal road speeds.
If you left John O' Groats you’d be cutting it close if you left at 1:30pm.
I was going to say Paul will have an Idea but I see he just posted.
Thanks for the update guys. This is the cost of having a school teacher wife and wanting to do the full 3 days.. Something has to give... I will prob cut off at Thurso and come down the A9 and have lunch on the road so should be down in Inverness in enough time.. :D
