Re: Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **

For anyone still not booked in for accomodation on the Friday night, we've got a nice little deal in here:-

http://www.bestwestern.co.uk/hotels/bal ... fault.aspx

Just as cheap as a hostel, but with a swimming pool and a nice hotel, although we are in a "family room", but they will sort so we have 3 separate beds.

Not including brekky it is £66.60 for the room (only £22.20 each).

It's in Glenrothes (Fife), and is only 2 hrs 45 mins away from Castle Stuart.

If anyone is going to book out, let me know, as I may get you a room upgrade (if available), or at least a free paper.

The draw and competition details will be posted up very soon, just waiting on a few more details.

Peter, are you playing Blairgowrie and then going to the Best Western? Thought everyone was staying in Blairgowrie but then I'm easily confused.

No Anne, we were advised that it was too far north to get there in time, so we are getting signed on at Lanark, all being well.

I would allow longer than 2.45 from there to be on the safe side. what with Tesco Trucks restricted to 40 and the new average speed cams going in on all the sections of DC (in some cases closed) you might be alright but you never know.

Ah, I see

I know this is slightly OT but can anyone recommend a nice place to stay over on the way back to the Fylde after Boat to split our journey home up.

It's slightly out the way, but Queensferry is a lovely little town just outside Edinburgh just below the forth bridge, but is lovely on a summers evening, overlooking the forth.

If not Stirling and Perth which are less out of the way are also nice. Stirling castle is great, but queensferry has a nice prom, restaurants and a few pubs.

Re: Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **

Bit of a detour but I can recommend North Berwick as a half way stop off. My non-golfing wife and I have booked the other room at beach cottage for Sat and Sun nights, thanks for flagging it up - looks nice.


Google golf lodge North Berwick for a nice B&B.
Cheers
Ian

i will decide depending on the weather. speaking of weather: what temperatures can i expect this time of the year? shall i bring along short sleeved shirts at all?

its about 15 most days at the moment but i would expect a few 18 maybe more. You will be fine with short sleeves, but i would have a jumper with you, as the wind tends to bring the temps down a bit. Last night for instance heading over to Nairn the car said it was 18 but still wore a jumper as the wind chill brought that down at least 4 deg.

I would prepare for the 4 seasons in one day approach

Summer in Scotland.... weather could be anything! Bring short sleeves, shorts, jumpers and, most definitely, waterproofs!
