Could you not get in at the lodges or did you just fancy somewhere different?

I got a Black Friday deal on the hotel. It ran out about a hundred quid cheaper. The Lodges were also unavailable through Booking.com But they could still be available through other sites or direct..

I had a great time on my trip to Scotland last year and absolutely no regrets of my last minute decision to go and keep Mr Lonewolf company.
For the 2021 proposal I hung back simply because it clashed with what would have been my preferred time for another foray into Europe, but the way things are shaping up with this virus business it now looks sensible to plan to cross the channel in late summer as hopefully by then there will be vaccines in place and things will have opened up a bit.
Having decided I would commit to the Scotland meet in May I looked at the accommodation again and found that a "Black Friday" deal had flashed up at the hotel next door which would save me £100.00 Double checking against the lodges I found they were no longer available on Booking.com so presumably they have now sold their allocation (although it is quite possible that they could be available direct or though other booking sites).
If you have already booked your rooms at Tyndrum lodges, don't worry, I have not dodged them because anything is wrong with them, they are a great place to stay but the money I have saved will get me another night out somewhere – maybe extending this trip or another night out on the bike later in the year.

The third video from last year's trip has been sitting 95% finished for weeks now, I'll try and knuckle down and get it done.
Looking forward to catching up with you in May. Pete

I DO hope this happens.
By May I would like to think that a lot of the population will be vaccinated and all will be well.
I sit here as snow is forecast in the next few days, yes even down here on the south coast, and a silent partyless Covid New Year looms.
I know we all have a bit of "the winter blues" but it will be SO nice to meet up with everyone for a bit of riding and a social beer or two in the evening.

lovely words, Nigel, and great sentiment too.  Well said sir ... here's to the vaccine.

I'm hoping to put in an appearance,  assuming of course that a Yamaha is permitted to join in      

[Rusty]

Ha ! I think we can allow that Roger 

[O.C.]

Only 5 months to go, it'll fly by.
