Evening all,
After some nagging and further permission slips being signed both my bro, lindsay that most know, and my bro in law, Chris, that you all don't, have been granted by their other halfs to get along for this blast.
Lindsay had not been on this since the old camping days.
Anyway Mr McQueen, can you book them a twin room for the 2 nights please.
Cheers.

Just to let you all know that Nicole will be with me in the van, as we'll be touring around the area before or after, or both.
So I'll be on my best behaviour all weekend.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Operation Storm Scotland 18th - 21st July 25
I am looking forwards to seeing this best behaviour you talk of.
Last few times you have had your better half / carer with you there was only marginal changes in the drinking habits

Hi Al.
Me and Mark are going to have to drop out.
I can't make any plans at the moment so just let our room go.
If things change we'll just come up and find somewhere to stay, if not at the same place, we'll just stay as close as possible.

Hi Al
Am I too late to book a single place for the Friday and Saturday night? ...or even allowed back on the ride after my previous calamity
