Wish I could join you... although being that close to the Outer Hebrides I'd probably want to go there instead. I think I have my holiday quota for this year booked already... A week in Egypt coming soon and then a week in the Isle of Man in Sept...

I'll have to make time/money for a Hebridean trip next year as its been too long since I was last there.

Have fun you lucky b*gg**s

Al.

Dudes, i'm there already..not too bothered about which week it is jsut let me know, but it would be nice to be there for the solstice so we can kite drunk at 1am again and go to that weird party!


willf - 18-4-2006 at 19:08

oh dear, don't think i can... dan's wedding etc etc am booking 2 weeks in september to play with the boys.

Hey Chris

I'm up for a trip and like you say have a week booked off already at work.

Was planning on going up on Sat 17th June and stopping off to see the Richard Ashcroft gig at Lancashire Cricket Ground on the way up. (Tickets still available £30.00). So arriving at the ferry termnal for the Monday morning ferry then staying for 7-10 days or so.

I'd look at taking 3 people my van and split the costs. Any idea what it cost last year for ferrys etc?

I mentioned it to Dunks already and he was a hopefull but depends on his back I suppose.

Rich.


dunk - 19-4-2006 at 13:53

Hey Dudes,
Yep I'm up for it if my back's better.
Rich, I'll only be able to do 7 days ish
Hopefully going to go back to the water next week!


carlessd - 19-4-2006 at 15:22

dudes i've got that week booked off already, was goin to disneyland but its gone tits up now. Mmmmmm should be quite cheap on lpg. will let you no


chris - 19-4-2006 at 18:57

last year we took my van and met up with dan and his van. the rest used tents and it worked well.

so to keep costs down we should take one or two vans and then camp again that way the petrol(LGP) will be cheaper and the ferry. i don't mind which van.


chris - 19-4-2006 at 18:58

dunk would be good to see you on the water hope you can make tiree


chris - 19-4-2006 at 19:01

rich,

can't remember the cost of the ferry, but the holiday was very cheap even though we drunk the co-op out of cider


leonardo - 19-4-2006 at 20:51

Think the ferry was about 180-200 quid but we split it 3 ways. 3 in a van seems to work well.


dunk - 20-4-2006 at 15:28

Anyone got any dates?????????


baileyman - 20-4-2006 at 17:19

Nah - chucked 'em out after christmas


chris - 20-4-2006 at 17:20

i was thinking like last year, leaving friday night 16th june and returning 24th or 25 june.
solstice on the 21 hopefully the party will be same as last year.

rich is planning a music break half way but as long as we all end up in tiree for around 7 days.


baileyman - 20-4-2006 at 17:41

Yep - those are the dates I've booked.

Just need 2 more in my Van and an extra ticket to Aschroft (if anyone's interested).

Or I send my kit up with Daz and get there by plane,train and automobile.

I'm going anyway, so not fussed how we slice and dice it.





chris - 20-4-2006 at 17:45

rich the plan will come together. we just need to sort out numbers and vans over the next few weeks. no need to take 6 vans.

cheers


leonardo - 6-5-2006 at 18:30

Are we all still up for Tiree mid June? Chris you still keen?

I'm off to Spain, Portugal and France for the next 2 weeks backpacking & drinking!




chris - 6-5-2006 at 21:35

leonardo - 22-5-2006 at 12:24
