Desperately trying to get a Pass Out, but as I am back in the Highlands the following Friday with Herself for a 3 night break, I am having to really creep..... 
I will know middle of next week Austin. Possibly have to be a hurtle up the M6 on Friday afternoon and back Sunday morning on the Vara, but I know what the Galloway potholes can do to a bike.... The aim is to use the NX4 again as Carlisle is not too far, even at 60mph!

I know you dont like camping much and I had hoped to book the bothy at the campsite, still be good to have you along and in a tent
Don't pander to his whims Austin, Paul coped quite happily in a tent for 5 nights in Spain last week!!
He said he had never slept so well, the early bird was still "cutting wood" at 08.45 one morning....

I went up on a little Recce today to check out the campsite and familiarise myself with the roads, plus it was just a nice day for a ride. I had forgotten how nice Galloway is.
and I met one of these big bruisers who wasnt so keen on getting out the way
Anyway the campsite is going to be great I reckon. It's very Rustic and quirky with free range hens and shetland ponies roaming the site. There's numerous fire pits and BBQ points around the site and brill views all round. The weekend we are there the site is hosting a music weekend so if you can bring an instrument with you. No amps just guitars fiddles and stuff and plenty of whisky
Newton Stewart is 8 miles away with shops, petrol, supermarket, cafe, takeaways, etc etc. The nearest shop is Kirkcowan, but its a small village shop/Post Office with the stress on small and I don't think it was licensed.. One pub in Kirkcowan too that was shut when I went through but would appear to do food. It does do B&B.
Some photos of the campsite.
we can have a spit roast
Undercover area at the "ranch house" - just the verandah
the facilities - lit by candles at night

Never realised I'd joined such a liberal forum.

That would be great. No need to book the site, just rock up and pitch up. If anyone asks say you are with me. I will collect the fees and I think I forgot to say I have got a discounted rate for the weekend. £10 instead of £12.50.
