Right folks the game is on.
The destination is Fort Augustus, the date Saturday 6th July to Saturday 13th, although you can do more or less as you please.
The events page refers to the Loch Ness Highland Resort, previously Cumberlands, where we have camped previously.
Other options are hotels, B&B, cottages, apartments or sleeping under a bridge!
I've had an email back from the Lock Ness Highland Resort and they will be happy to see us again
I'm not sorting out your accommodation, I'll leave that up to you. Be warned though hotels etc will fill up so if you want that you need to book well in advance.
I can't guarantee the weather... only exceptionally good riding!

There's a great atmosphere in the campsite when folk are camping but it all disappears when we have to gather from assorted bunkhouses or B&B's.
Of course the weather makes a difference, but even so it's camping everytime for me.

I agree Izzy.

Of course you are honey - you get to run to the shops for the rest of us too!

Bike, car or space hopper... all forms of transport are acceptable!

And it all began in 2013... and it was fooking awesome.
Link to the 2013 pics https://www.bikermatch.co.uk/events/event.asp?event_id=4156#photos
Which I've just had a look at again while listening to Little Barrie... I feel all nostalgic now.

Can't comment on 2013 as we only started with the Sequel to the Prequel in '14 - that was a cracking year, amazing weather and a good turnout. Would love to renew acquaintances next year, and make new friends too.
Steve_H
Oh well in that case

Hello everyone , ive been bike less for a while so not been around but looking to change that for next year , its good to hear from you steve and dizzy , hope you pair are doing good , 2013 was an amazing time away and dam was it hot that year especially on that island steve took us on after the ferry ride , i remember getting slow roasted on the path outside that cafe place we stopped at , good memories , ah steve that lotion stuff you had never worked against the migies for me but your special net thing now that is what i needed that night , ive put myself down for next year fingers crossed i managed to get things sorted before then for some new adventures and good times and also dizzy id be happy to share accommodation as i left most of my camping stuff back at a squres rally a few years ago because it was raining and just could not face packing everything up and as i had already hit myself in the face by a rouge bungy rope thingy i went in a bad mood and just left everything, but it will be great to meet new faces and create some new fun memories as thats what its all about

The other times I've stayed up there was at Aberchalder .
I like the idea of the Curran ferry sounds like fun
