Scots - Advanced warning
- Thread starter Lutin
- Start date
. More details soon.........
Right, had a check and the conference is on from Wednesday the 6th to Friday the 8th of September. If anyone is interested, it's the Advances in Marine Biogeochemistry Conference VIII at SAMS (Scottish Association for Marine Science) in Oban.
It's not certain, but likely, that we''l be over before the conference - so very late August or early September.
So, that's the plan so far. It might, and probably will, change but hopefully not too much.

Why don't we just have the National there 
Failing that, Austins suggestion of a G(&L)DL is a rather good one!

Would seem to make sense Phil
Just because the last one was in Scotland doesn't mean we can't have another one there, it's a big country after all

There is a small campsite that LWR has used in the past that, whilst a little way from Oban, is still well located for many scenic rides!Why don't we just have the National there
Though they, the site owners, might not take to a drunken BT national!
I'll pop up a link when I find it

I stayed at a campsite just outside Oban many many years ago, they certainly weren't biker friendly as I recall. Not sure of its name or if it's still on the go.

Probably the Camping and Caravan club site. I think I stayed there also many many moons ago. Nice spot but blighted by rules and people who like rules.
Edit....Nope, just looked it up, it was Oban Caravan Park we stayed at. I also just chatted to Anne about when we went there - it was 1981 apparently.
Seems like yesterday.Double edit.....I did stay at Torran Bay Hostel a couple of months ago. It also has a campsite and is about 20miles south of Oban. No pub shop or anything much nearby except miles and miles of Loch Awe and the lovely roads around it. But does give the option of Hostel accommodation if required. I did ask the owner (a very nice farmer with a strong vision for his village and area) about hosting bike meets. He was well up for it even when I outlined a proclivity for drunkenness and fires.
