If we start getting more people who are gonna end up at the airport or even Inverness station on the Friday afternoon, maybe it would be an idea.... dunno. maybe we should have another head count in a couple of months?

I would consider it, but would Manitas?!!

I still think the idea of a minibus, given how many of us are going to be at the airport, is a good idea.

Over to you Giok....

Liz...you would need to get a cab into Inverness (not sure if there is a bus) to get the train. Inverness rail station is about 20 minutes from the airport. You might consider renting a car. The scenery up there is stunning!

What is the likliehood of there being a convenient rail service from the airport to the hotel then? We know there is a station nearby but what is the service like in October? Darn sarf they piss about with the damned timetable so much it's a bigger work of fiction than War & Peace....

As I said to Penny don't panic, there is a B&B 400 yards from the hotel, Graham has an en suite in his house 500 yards away. and there's plenty of other accommodation available.
Jut ring the hotel and speak to Graham, he will arrange things for you, even the B&B.

Right. Husband not coming.... there's only so far he'll go to stand around not listening to folk (bless him).

So it's just me for the Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights.

Liz, I've just emailed you about your flight details, but I've just remembered I've used my (relatively) new email address and not signed it. If you see something from Creighton Manor, it's me!

Tell him there'll be lots of opportunities to photograph bits of Scottish mud and he might be persuaded!

Manitas has our flight details if you want to try for that one - it's Friday, I know that much!

Secondly I'll have to pummel my beloved Parker into whether or not he's coming as well. (I suspect not, but you have to ask...)

I really fancy this now. I won't be able to bring much to the party in a musical sense, though I've been known to sing at the drop of a hat (which I carry with me just in case). Will check if my wife's up for it and give yer amn at the hotel a ring tomorrow.

I am also booked in from Friday to Monday morning.

If all goes well I will be accompanied by a rather fine singer (or rather she will be accompanied by me )

If all doesn't go well I will be there on my own :-(
