As per the title folks, this is not the Dent Event. You can go there if you want to but we'll be at Sunart Camping, Strontian PH36 4HZ

Friday 19th to Sunday 21st May 2023

Smaller event, smaller campsite, than Dent, limited spaces available.

Hard standing with electric ... CamperVan, MoHo or Caravan, two people £25.00 per night.

Camping £10.00 per night (no electric but four places available at extra cost)

Two wooden Glamping huts, with heating, electric, microwave, mattress but no bedding ...

1) Sleeps 2

2) Sleeps 3

Chalet with shower, WC, cooker, fridge, sleeps four, £100.00 per night

Please telephone Elle or Tim on 01967 402 080 or 07967 030 664 for availability and to book. Some places already taken by other people before we got this far. Then let me know please.

Alastair (Northern Jock) hoping to sort a Bar-B-Q out the Friday evening. He's good at them as those that went to Portsoy will agree :D

The Strontian Hotel nearby is run by a GS riding couple, have rooms. they do excellent food and bier, the Guinness is second to none :aidan

Telephone Strontian Hotel on 01967 402 029 for availability and to book. Again, some rooms had been taken before we got this far.

We hope to have a buffet there the Saturday evening.

All work in progress :thumby:

The change might not suit some folk, it will suit others .... we can't suit all of the people all of the time :blast

More anon

It's a grand spot as quite a few folk know.

There are quite a few bnb's in the area and self catering places, Google is your friend.

We'll plan bbq on Friday, by end March we should have an idea of numbers and the same for those that want a feed at the pub on Saturday.

Micky had the inspiration and is making it happen, it'll be a cracking weekend :beerjug:

Sadly Micky, you timings don't work for me - I'll be neck deep in the Med off of a Tuscanny beach by the time your on site at Strontian.

The Ariundle Centre is a 20 minute walk away. Superior hostel type accomodation. It gets a good rep so book early.

I got back very late last night after a 14 drive from south Wales (M74 closed at Abington and it took me over 2 hours to cover what would have been a 4 mile distance) and the Strontian hotel is already fully booked!!!!

I'll move to plan B now.
