Postie's Scottish Holiday.

24 Oct 2005

I will be going to the munch in Glasgow on the 26th of November. And am planning on making a week, or part week of it up in the Highlands. This post is for regular forum users, who I know in real life or know from the forum. Male or female.
OK. I have the entire week before the munch booked as leave. And I haven't been on holiday as such this year. Sooooooo, I was thinking what better place than Scotland in late November . Might even be able to top up my fading tan biggrin

The plan is this: if anyone fancies putting me up for the night, I'll bring some booze and might even, if you'd like it, cook something. I'll have a sleeping bag and am happy crashing on the floor. Though I must be honest and admit it'd be foolish to turn anyone down if they fancied some company under the duvet. BUT that isn't what I am expecting, just a place to crash after having a night in or out with someone I kind of know from the forum, even if I haven't met them.
I have heard this Scotland is a bit of a big place, so depending on who offers, if anyone, I'll not be able to say exactly what day I might arrive until I have some kind of route planned. ( Don't want to be in Thurso on monday and Lockerbie on tuesday to then go to Aberdeen for wednesday. ) Oh, and I may have a kayak on my roof-rack, so if you are in a city, I'll need somewhere to store a 10foot long canoe type thing. (garden, hallway/garage)
So..... you up for it? Let me know by pm or post here... Thanks! :D

Kayaking in Scotland at the end of November? You're a braver man than I. We were sailing on the Caledonian Canal at the beginning of August and that got a bit chilly, so I dread to think what it's like in the winter.
