Raid the Lakes 2006

One idea from last year was to give any campers an address to get their kit couriered to then it could be dropped at the site, saves panniering it, its something that I am sure will be discussed.

Need to talk Martin at Duc Glas and Charlie at Leeds to bring the shops vans with kit, well, there's me site advertising revenue gone in favors again :)

What are the midgies like down there though?

A Scotsman worried about midge??

At that time of year it'll not be too bad but I'm sleeping in a nice comfy house miles away from the lake :)

Midge down yer leathers ain't much fun though

Looks fine to me mate!

There's not many choices of venue Scott, if we book a field you get into outlay for land/marquees, toilets etc and end up having to charge people to come, RTL was free this year and personally I'd like to keep it that way. No need for Ian to do the tees himself at about a fiver a time though, way too cheap!! they should be sorted before hand, prepaid for at a reasonable price and let his mate do the work.
 
Well we were told to coat ourselves in Skin So Soft when in Scotland, never even saw a midge, maggot out of view !

Hi folks i'd be glad to offer help if you need it, but the first 2 weekends of July are out for me as the 3rd is my daughters birthday, and the 9th is mine.
C'est la vie, looks like i may miss RTL 06.:mad:

Shouldn't be a problem mate! I'm looking forward to this! (if I can get away, as usual!)

And you bear an uncanny resemblence too - apparently only at weekends :p
 
Shaun, are you going to let me have a sneeky peep at your France maps sometime with your special routes on? Am after a spring trip and would like to try some different routes. Otherwise I will end up blasting up and down N85 till my tyres go pop!
