01/11/2008 overnighter

A few of us were talking today about possibly doing an overnighter on the Saturday before the Aberdeen Mega Meet. we seemed to get some good initial interest for this so I'm going to have a look at some hotels that could possibly fit the bill.

the idea is to meet somewhere central i.e Perth and have a leisurely and scenic drive on the Saturday to the hotel, get settled and freshened up. A spot of dinner and a few relaxing sherries.
On the Sunday we can make our way to the meet venue relaxed and refreshed. afterwards we can we possibly do another scenic run on the way home if you want or we can just push on home.

the idea is that you won't have the long return trip to do on the same day and you can get to know fellow members better over a beer or 2

If anybody has suggestions for hotels please DON'T POST HERE, PM either myself or one of the committee for obvious safety reasons we don't want to advertise wherever we end up staying

possible routes could be dependent on meet venue:

meet at Scone
A93 Blairgowrie
A93 Braemar
A93 Ballater
A93 Banchory
A93 Peterculter
Aberdeen
or
A93 Blairgowrie
A926 Kirriemuir
A926 Pandanaram
A90 Aberdeen


remember Saturday 01 November
initially I've found Hotel with food, beer and parking from:
£48 room only or £63 B&B but hopefully something cheaper might come up
stick your name down if you're interested

 Do you mean Glenshee?

That's settled then Gary's it is!!
