If Tain is filling up, this place might suit some people.... http://www.logieeaster.co.uk/ ......It is 4 miles south of Tain on the A9, I notice they say evening meals can be arraanged.
There is a pub (Shandwick Inn)one mile south which does pub and restaurant style meals.

Well spotted- three twins plus self catering for another 7/8.

that's probably too far south for us, Snorri. I'd like to start the van in Tain and just pick up from there and from Dornoch Firth, if we can squeeze everybody in....

so - going by conversations I've had it looks as if we're heading for 30 going all the way. Book early to avoid disappointment!

Another definite maybe here. I'm up for at least some of it, hopefully all of it, depending on finances and whether I can get sufficiently organised.

Just spoken to the nice chap at Glen Bank, name added to his list. Unable to get through to Dornoch Bridge Inn, message left on their answerphone.

Edit: Castleneuk guest house in Castleside got back to me, still have rooms available.
So do Willow Court (one twin) and Meadhon in Jedburgh.

Glad it's not just me then

I'm getting worried - this is five months away and already some of these places are filling up. It looks like it's friendly bus shelters for Frank and me.

Oi, Fridays! Who is making the YHA website crash?

 

[dellzeqq]

listen, matey. When I went up to John o'Groats the first time I wore trainers, jeans tucked in to socks, cotton shirts, jumpers and slept by the side of the road wrapped in bin liners. We subsisted on chips. We washed in the rivers. At the end of the ride I had to cycle to Aberdeen to take advantage of a five pound fare back to London - and I arrived home with a pound in my pocket.

just pointing out to Frank that, in our day, bus shelters were a luxury! (Although I did sleep on a concrete bench on a railway station platform, a concession to luxury I'm not proud of)

Not moi. It is somewhat flaky though.....

If we're not careful this could turn into a rolling version of the Four Yorkshiremen sketch....

I came back from Dunwich with Deckertim last year and he didn't even bother to get off the bike to have a nap. Hard core!
