I'd love to go, not too bad to get to (apart from the ferry crossing) but, not sure a hardtail would be up to the job and other excuses too, mainly to hide the fact that I'm too unfit

Rubbish excuse. I got the Wales meet even though I was in Czech Republic at the time.

A hardtail is fine for Glentress. Especially the climbs. It can be 'fun' for some of the decents. There is a blue route that is fun if you are not up to the 30k black. I prefer the Red but I'm up for doing all 3 plus Inners XC. I might even take a DH bike too.

Put me down as a yes for the weekend. Friday night through to Sunday - camping.:)
 
I did consider somewhere more central in the UK or wales but don't think there is anywhere that really competes with Glentress and has enough for a full day or weekend worth of riding.
 
The provisional date in my original post isn't do able for myself, I have updated my diary and can confirm a date of September 4th-5th this also gives people more notice to organise themselves and doesn't coincide with the bank holiday weekend next month.
