Just watched it on the 'Adventure Show'. That looks an awesome event. Some great roads and scenery and they were lucky with the weather. Chapeau to everybody that took part and good luck to all that are entered for the 2013 edition

That's it, folks. The event is full, so no more entries.

lol, only reading the thread after watching the documentary.. Though I'm booked in a hotel near Lochness the weekend after for a stroll up Ben Nevis, so I guess it's a good thing 
Right, OK, I have questions...
1) I seem to recall reading something about the possibility of sleeping on a hall floor somewhere for this - is this so, if so is it possible to sleep there on the Saturday night as well as the Friday night? And how would one go about ensuring that one could make use of this option?
2) if my memory is totally erroneous, what sort of accommodation is there in the area? I don't suppose many people come a long way for a 6am start...

Hi fimm,
1) Yes, for both nights. There will be an additional charge for this, as the cost of the hall overnight is by far our biggest expense. I'm planning to do the same as previous years: hall open about 7pm on Friday, pasta supper served from about 8pm; Saturday breakfast; soup, bridies, beer post-ride (included in the event fee); Sunday breakfast - probably about £10 - £12 for the whole package. I'll need to have another look at the hall to get an idea of its maximum sleeping capacity: we've had up to about 25 in previous years but a much bigger (>130) field this time. It will be first-come, first-served.*BUT SEE BELOW*
2) There are a few B&Bs and a hostel/bunkhouse in the area, and a decent campsite about 5km from the start.
*THIS IS BELOW": It's over three months until the event. I'll be doing a "newsletter" to everyone who has entered, at least six weeks beforehand, outlining everything that I can think of. By all means, ask about things now that are giving you sleepless nights but PLEASE let's avoid a YACF-esque trail of questions about air beds, wasps or muirburn. Plenty of time for that.
ETA: So, I won't be taking any bookings for the Kirriemuir Hilton dossing facility until I send the newsletter out. HTH

Scoosh, I'm sorry, that's gone totally over my head...
... and if you get to share the small hall with him.
