Title: Kinlochleven weekend 27th-30th September
Post by: Aegis Bearing Mel on 03 September 2013, 03:07:20 pm
Afternoon folks, just a wee post to see who would be up for a long weekend ranting around Kinlochleven?
Ralphie, Neily and I have pencilled in a long weekend around the above dates, Neil is a Saturday night into Sunday wonder, I'm looking at Friday through to Monday morning.
The http://www.macdonaldhotel.co.uk/ (http://www.macdonaldhotel.co.uk/)we stayed at last time provisionally has some four berth lodges left, although realistically three Foccers and kit would be the most I'd suggest.
It became rather "fragrant" the lat time with two of us!!

I'll give then a phone on Saturday and confirm numbers, so if you're interested stick your name down!

So, it's Aegis-Tanian and The Three Musky-Queers for this weekend it seems.

Two lodges booked, can fit an extra body into each if anyone fancies making a weekend of it still.

Approached a guy with a fazer thou earlier today and got talking about fazers and why they are brilliant bikes, anyway got onto the subject of the foc-u site and he turned out to be The Boy Dougie who knows you guys so well and says the Kinlochleven trip is a fucking hoot.

Apparently I've got loads of good memories of drinking with him, although it's only photies that prove it as I'm focced if I can mind.

It's very unlikely Andy but I'm trying to, I posted so I would get notifications on what's going on, BigRalphy's all over me like a rash but seems to forget I'll spend most of my weekend apologising for his outrageous behaviour the last time I took him to the McDonald hotel rabbit hutches.
Title: Re: Kinlochleven weekend 27th-30th September
Post by: Aegis Bearing Mel on 19 September 2013, 10:50:16 pm
Sounds like you need to behave outrageously so HE has to apologise for you.

Post by: bigralphie on 20 September 2013, 03:22:10 pm
That,s foccing harsh ,just because I scratched my arse and knocked the hutch over  :rolleyes

I think Sunday is looking the best for the weather so its very likely I will be heading up first thing in the morning. Mick if you think you can make it let me know and I'll meet you on the way through.
 
Monday looks like sunshine for the way home.

Looking like I may well be working bbb, certainly on Saturday morning, not sure about Sunday yet.

I'm only on a half day tomorrow though so should at least get a chance to pass on the shirt (at long last! :lol). Then the guys going to kinlochleven can all get a chance to sign etc before its passed on again.
