Well - seven turned up today. That's almost 25% of the catchment area!

Mark, Malcolm, Stewie, Gavin 1, Gavin 2, Chris and Denise.

We ate our way through some large plates of chips, soup, pork and 'rostbif'. A bit of chat and discussion on summer activities took place. Based on this I phoned Badrallach and cancelled the Bothy booking - most people appear to want to camp - so be it. Mick at Badrallach accepted this canx and said we could use the bothy for cooking and the like if required and if it hadn't been block booked. 

I didn't fancy having to fork out £170 if there were no shows if the weather was crap. Anyway the weather wont be crap - I'll have a new Guzzi to tour around the country roads and the food and company will be well lubricated with fine malts.

Well that's the plan anyway.
