26th/27th/28th April
2nd/3rd/4th August
18th/19th/20th Oct
15th/16th/17th Nov

Rach and Tom,

Sounds great - I also work shifts but I'm off for 2nd/3rd/4th August weekend, if that's a popular date ?

Please keep me informed.

Regards, Steve W

Sounds good, but only the latter two would work for me...

Hi Rach,

I'd probably opt for either the April or August weekends, but pretty flexible and at this point any are good.

YEY! Me and Si would love to come.
April and October are great for us both, and I can come in November.

Hi Rach & Tom,
Sounds good to me & Sarah.
April or August would be best for us.

Hi everyone,

The April dates are now no good for us and August can be a busy time for people with holidays so we propose we go for the 18th/19th/20th October for our biking weekend at Urr Lodge in Dumfries and Galloway.

Please let me know if you can definitely come so I can book.

Many thanks

Rach

Bad news! The hostel has been sold and is definitely closing down in May

Will look into booking somewhere else, perhaps in Wales??

Just had a look on the 7stanes website and came across an alternative hostel arrangement for £15 per night per person. Whole of October is free at this point. So looks like we could still enjoy a weekend of Dalbeatie and Mabie.....

Hi Jez,

Thanks for finding the bothy. Unfortunately you can't have dogs but I've found another!

This bunkhouse in Mabie forest is free the 18th/19th Oct and would cost £36.55 each for both nights. We would have exclusive use of the bunkhouse all weekend which includes use of 2 kitchens, a large lounge and bike storage.

What does everyone think?

Hey Rach,

You forgot to mention the "Finnish Sauna and a wood-fired Hot Tub", now that should get some interest.....
