Preliminary logistics and feasibility study for a Highland Adventure

Date : Sat 27th September

Venue: Ullapool, very north Scotland

Event: http://handsonevents.co.uk/handsonevents/Events/Ullapool/Ullapool.htm

Rough Plan:
Friday - Drive up
Saturday - Do event
Saturday evening - Get drunk - 2 pints and fall asleep in a chair - Try to resist putting your hands up any tartan skirts, could get more than you bargain for.
Saturday Night - Sleep like a baby
Sunday - Drive home

Costs: £30 to enter - we would have to do this quickly - 500 places available, 61 gone already ( see link to enter)

2 nights B & B
Money for food and drink
Split petrol money - cost will depend on how many go, how many vehicles etc.

Please post expressions of interest and we will take it from there.

Guess what. Im up for it!!!!
See what passes as an A road in Jockland!

I’m up for it.

Elevation profile - no monster climbs, but still plenty to go at.
Scenery will be amazing.
Broom wagon on the event coz, let’s face it, you’re not going to be reachable by mobile round there.

It will definitley be an adventure.

Please count me in. My contribution to the transport would, however, be just a pledge to keep the driver awake with constant lively chatter! It would be a great way to finish the season.

Great News. Thats 4 so far. Well, El Cid has to convince his Mrs Cid thats its a business trip and we`re off!

count me subject to mrs mark

Lets get entered to secure our places, and get some accommodation booked.

Then, as more riders want to come along, they can easily add on.

Get acclimatised
