Orion M.C.

Adam phoned me last night. He will be last to be ready to leave...around 6.30-7pm. So I guess that's when we are leaving.

Plenty of room as we may be taking two cars, mine and Gody's. I am contemplating going up Creach Bheinn, but I won't be dilly dallying as I have to be home for 5.30 latest on Friday.

And Silke's freind Carmel might also be coming. She's been down the pub on at least one occassion and she also came on the Arran cycle meet.

Scott, it's not Carmel it is Silke's other friend Jasna. I don't think you have met her before?

....I am keen to do a bottle of wine and 4 cans of lager on the Thursday and Beinn Sgulaird on Friday.

Lets hope the weather improves?

All these unusual female names are getting me mixed up

Forecast is bloody awful for the west coast Don't mind wet walk in to the bothy...that's almost traditional, and anyway it's an easy walk in and only 1.5 miles long But Friday's weather for when we will be on the hill is for heavy persistent rain

I will have a think about a possible alternative venue further east, although we may be limited as both Adam and I want to be home at a reasonable time on Friday.

Of course we could just walk into James of the Glen as planned, stay up all night drinking, sleep in the morning in front of a roaring fire listening to the rain lashing down outside and then drive back home in the afternoon...sounds perfect

Oh and Gordy, if you are keen to get away early why don't you go straight from work with Andy and Jasna. I'm in no rush...I can get Adam when he is ready.

Sorry Adam et al I don't think I can get away on Thursday and Friday would be well tricky too although what I really could do with right now is a bothy night or two and it would be sad not to see Adam before the sheep get him.

Friday is the deadline for self-employed tax returns so don't expect me to be at the bothy. Miracles happen though, so don't rule it out.
