Orion M.C.

Ruth and I are hoping to leave on Thursday after work (6pm from Glasgow). I have emailed the owners of the hut and hope to stay there on the Thursday night. We are taking our mountain bikes up and hope to do a bit of biking on Friday Does anyone want to join us on the Thursday night? We will be driving back down on Sunday evening.

from the rest of you, who is willing to drive.......

Amy
Fiona
David
John
Dom
Neil

Still to confirm:
Alex
Julian
Kev
Jen / Calum

I won`t know if I`m going until Thursday so it would be better if you all aranged lifts for yourselves on the basis that I will not be going.Jools is a "definite maybe" and as such he is prepared to wait until he knows for sure and if that means he loses out on a lift then he accepts that.He would be unable to leave before about 7pm on Friday as he is on a course down in Ayr.

My preference is to leave early to mid afternoon on Friday. Gordon if you have your bike do you fancy cycling up Strath Vaich and doing Am Faochgach? Could be a good shortish day for Sunday as it is on the way home.

Gail may come if there is a good forecast. Been checking and it seems to be different every time I look. Happy to drive, particuarly as I would like to take my bike. Depending on Gail have space for two or three.


John

I can't come I'm afraid.

For whoever is organising the transport etc. I'm pretty sure that Guto wants to come this weekend...and he's got a car

Last week I told him to come down the pub this thursday as that would be when all the arrangments would be made.

Gordon. I'll come up on Thursday also. I'll take my own car as I need to make a detour on the way up. Should I contact the hut owners to let them know that there will be one other for Thurs night?

Fiona can't come now. Work.

I had still been a maybe all week was depending on the foot which is much better now, but have to do something on the saturday now so thats me a deffo no now sorry

Barring disasters (touch wood) I will be going but would really really appreciate a lift. I can be back from Ayr by 5.30 and ready to go by 6.

I'm going to drive up myself as I plan to go out on the hills fri and stay till mon. I will be at the hut on fri night.
Sorry for the late decision but I've been seriously indecisive.

can someone let me know who is picking me up and where? I wont able to check the forum friday so please use the old fashioned method of the telephone!

You are organising yourselves this trip

John B is your best bet as everyone else is going up on Thursday.Might be an idea to phone him ..

Here is my interpretation of the plans so far...

Ruth, myself and david are going up tonight. .....David I tried phoning you last night. I got an email from the bothy custodians. It seems the bothy is empty tonight, they said it is open and there is no problem staying there tonight. Give me a phone if you want to meet on the way up. We are taking our bikes for a cycle tomorrow?

Neil is going up by himself tomorrow - see you up there Neil!

John, Amy and Julian are going up tomorrow afternoon/evening. Would make sense for you guys all to go up together in either John or Julian's car?

Alex, Jen (& Calum) are undecided.

Any others?

Guto

Don't think Calum and I can make it unfortunately (Calum's still got a pretty bad throat so serious winter hill activities seem a bad idea!) - hopefully be down at the pub this evening though.

Jen

Happy to take you up Amy. Give me a ring. Left my phone number on your mobile. Not so happy to wait around for Julian to leave at 1800 though. Planning to take tomorrow afternoon off so will leave mid afternoon, say 1500 at the latest.
