We were going to make this time a bit later in the day but obviously there will be quite a few of us and we’ll need to get there before the lunchtime rush to ensure that we have enough seats for us all!
We’ll draw up an Agenda so that we can have some sort of organised meeting.
We still need more ideas for fundraising to cover costs so please get your thinking caps on!
Getting there for the weekend of the challenge
We have heard that some of you may wish to fly up to Scotland rather than come in the minibuses. Please bear in mind that getting to Fort William from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Inverness takes at least 3 hours and obviously you will need to ensure that flight times, train times etc coincide with everything else, for example, everyone needs to be together on the day of the challenge (Sat 22 Aug) by midday in Fort William, NO LATER. It is entirely up to you how you get there but please bear in mind it won’t be straight forward. There are no direct trains down from Inverness (it will take at least 3 hours to get to Fort William from here by car). If you fly to Glasgow you will need to get a bus into Glasgow City which takes an hour and then get a train from Glasgow to Fort William which takes a further 4 hours.
We have seen that there are flights from Bournemouth to Glasgow with Ryanair which departs at 6.30 am on Friday 21 Aug if you are interested and wish to do this rather than go in the minibus but please bear in mind the above.
As we need to arrange accommodation for Friday 21 Aug we need to know by this Saturday who wishes to fly up on Friday or fly up Saturday and who is happy to come in the minibuses. Please email back as soon as possible regarding this.
We are currently making enquiries with regard to accommodation as it will need to be booked soon as there is such a large number of us as you can appreciate.
If you wish to book your own accommodation please also let us know by the latest this Saturday. Please note that we wish to have everyone staying in Fort William before the challenge (so we don’t have to keep driving round picking and dropping everyone off) and in Bangor (Wales) on the last night once the challenge has completed.
Those of you who wish to travel up in the minibuses, we are hoping to leave at approximately 6.00 am on Friday morning. We will of course be making stops on the way.
Please also bear in mind the cost of the minibuses and fuel. If the money we get by fundraising does not cover the total cost of this, the remaining balance will be split equally between everyone.
Anyway, that’s it for now – please email back as soon as you can
Everything and more will be discussed in more detail at the meeting on Saturday!! We look forward to seeing you all!!!
