I'll be up for this if I can sort some shared lifts with people to keep costs down.

I'll be heading up from Leicester / south Manchester if anyone is interested?

Those Wigwams look snug.
Is there secure bike storage and bathroom facilities?

There are shower and kitchen facilities, they have a large shipping container that they lock at night as secure bike storage but it is probably more secure to keep your bike in your car by the wigwam.

I'll come one of the days. Will book the weekend off work later today. Won't need accommodation, i'll just drive over.

booyaka · 24 Jan 2011 at 13:51

will see what can be worked out for West Coast travellers etc nearer the time as I will probably just drive over for the saturday at least.

ichabod crane · 2 Feb 2011 at 21:02

Just wanted to give this a bump so we don't lose it.

Thanks to everyone who is staying in the wigwams I have received all of the payments

I long for dry dusty trails..

It's Scotland. So a 90% chance of rain (slightly to the side).
