Does anyone fancy coming to watch the pros in the world cup in Fort William?

http://www.fortwilliamworldcup.co.uk

There is tons going on including downhill, trials, xc, 4x and a new xc sprint which is supposed to be quite good to watch.

You can go up the cable car and walk down the DH track when they aren't racing which is quite cool.

We'll be camping - can do some riding of our own too

I am thinking of taking a couple of extra days and visiting the Kyle of Sutherlans trails:

Seb and I are thinking of coming but the B&Bs I know are full already. I'm not sure about getting there late Friday and trying to find a tent pitch.

I'll see what the arrangement is with the caravan, I know we have at least one tent coming too so there could well be room for more.

I will however be going up to Sutherland later in the year.
