Glencoe Massacre IX - The details - 9th/10th Sept 2016
 

The Glencoe Massacre IX rideout weekend is back for 2016.

It will take place at the Kinlochleven Hotel in Kinlochleven on the 9th and 10th September 2016.

The MacDonald Hotel & Cabins
Fort William Road, Kinlochleven, Argyll, PH50 4QL

There is a choice of accomodation to suit all budgets and preferences, from hotel rooms, to wigwams, to camping.

The hotel has an excellent bar and restaurant area where we will be able to eat, drink and be merry on the Friday and Saturday evenings and has served us very well in recent years.

On the Saturday evening there will be a live band playing in the bar.

The exact rideout route has yet to be determined, but will be different from last year, will use some of Scotland's best roads and will be posted in a separate thread as soon as it is ready.

Things will be slightly different this year in that the organiser lives 450 miles away, so self sufficiency will be required from all attendees, it won't all be laid on like a package tour! For instance, I won't be arranging a catered lunch stop, it will be a 45 minute break somewhere you can buy food and eat it picnic style, or stick a packed lunch inside your jacket. This weekend is all about getting together, drinking beer and riding bikes on amazing scottish roads. The rest is up to you. ;)

So please see the accomodation thread here http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=221064 and phone the hotel to book your room.

Damn!

We're only a just over the hill in Aberdeenshire, and it would have been nice to catch up with some familiar faces but we're in Portugal the first two weeks of Sept.

Quick update. It doesn't look like we are going to fill the accommodation the hotel have reserved for us. I don't want them to be half empty that weekend because we haven't filled it, so at the end of this week I will phone them and let them know that they can release the rest of the accommodation. After that you can still book, but I can't guarantee there will be availability.

The facebook link is broken?
I've been trying to talk the mrs into going to this all year, so...If there's a facebook page, that will help convince her.

Just worked for me. Have you tried switching it off and switching it on again? :-)

You need to be invited. I didn't make it a public event as I didn't want invites sent all over the place and half of Scotland turned up, it's an sv650.org event, and while friends and family of orgers are welcome if the orger can vouch for them and is bringing them along, we don't want every tom d!ck and harry turning up on spec.

PM me a link to your facebook profile and I'll try to invite you.

well haven't been back up the road in a long time. So really thinking of going, all depends on the weather really. camping if I do!

Any news on the invite? I need to get a move on to book leave if we are to do this. I can only book leave at least a month in advance, apparently. Boo Hiss etc.
