2014 Meet in Scotland

[fraser j ross]

Still in progress Sin does not appear to be anywhere near  finished !

My extensive research has revealed that the only place which has real ale and is Cask Marque accredited is the Bothy Bar, Canalside. http://whatpub.com/pubs/INV/29/bothy-bar-fort-augustus & http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/34/34171/Bothy_Bar/Fort_Augustus

The other option is the Lock Inn, Canalside. http://whatpub.com/pubs/INV/42/lock-inn-fort-augustus & http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/34/34178/Lock_Inn/Fort_Augustus
However, if the description in Beerintheevening is right and their beer is Tetleys I'd rather stick with the Bothy Bar. As they're practically next door to each other we can try both.

So, as we need a place to get together, can I suggest the Bothy Bar at 8pm?

Sound like a plan BT!
Seeing as I'm up there from Thursday, I'll be the one slumped up the corner!

[Spud]

cheers Spud

[mat-tiger1]

I'll even line up some samples!!

Just checked weather on..www.metcheck.com. Looks promising? I was hoping to wangle a couple of extra days off,and travel up Tuesday or wed? Camp in Lake District,then up next day? But my friend has shown an interest,but can only get Thursday or Fri off. Talking about doing the trip up in 1 day Spoilt my plans a bit. Oh..he's got a ZX9r. Any objections if he comes?
Anyway,got my accommodation sorted..as in pic!

Tinky Winky has already posted on FB that someone has stolen his portaloo but I think I managed to head him off by sending him to the Kwacker forum  as long as he can stand some obscure piss taking he'll be fine, we might even be able to convince him that he can have the same fun in comfort on a Tig as he can on the Zed.
