9 weeks to go before you guys arrive in Scotland to stalk with me and JAYB :D

This is just another heads up on questions you may all have.

Firstly JAYB has Emailed all those not yet paid. Please pay up as I need to pay the estate for the accommodation. Although I own the entire 8000 acre lease and all rights, I do not have any control over the accommodations.

Thank you.

Next, so you know all linen, bedding and towels are provided so you do not need to bring anything on those lines.
All electric, heating and logs for the open fires are included in the rent.

You must bring your own food and cook for yourselves. As JAYB pointed out there are very very few places to buy food, so bring it with you, or pick it up at the 24 hour Tesco's off the A9 at Inverness before you come up.

Please ensure you bring your FA Certificates, proof of Insurance.

Clothes, make sure you have well worn in walking boots that are waterproof and if possible gaiters. Wellies are ok as long as they are good ones, not cheap ones if you cannot afford walking boots.

Bring silent, waterproof and windprrof clothing for stalking.

Bring midge repellant, the little sods might still be about :eek:

Bring sticks with you, most of the time you will be shooting off sticks in the wooded areas.

There is a washing machine and tumble dryer available to wash clothes if needs be.

Make sure you fill up with fuel in your car at Inverness, it is the cheapest place, and the nearest fuel station to where we are is about 37 miles.

The ground lies about one hours drive (56 miles) NW of Inverness. JAYB or myself will give you directions before you come up.

Please make sure that those arriving on the first three days arrive on SUNDAY THE 18TH in the afternoon or evening. Please make sure you are packed and ready to leave on the late afternoon of the WEDNESDAY 21ST as the new lot for the second part of the week arrive that afternoon and they must leave on the evening of SATURDAY 24TH October.

Dogs are not allowed, this time, except mine ;)

Mobile phones do not work in the Glen :rolleyes: but there is a pay phone in one cottage.

There will be 4 CW's present and 1 AW for those wishing to have a deer signed off against their portfolio for Level 2.

The ground is large enough and diverse enough to take 4 groups out without conflicting with each other.

Look forward to seeing you all up there, anymore questions you can PM me. JAYB will be in touch with directions in the near future ;)

Cheers everyone look forward to it.

Please Andy!!! thats too much information for this time of the day. Fester in his pinny :eek: :eek:

I hope its the one he usually wears in the larder, you know the Laura Ashley one with the big pink flowers on it ;)

Gentlemen please remember that there will be long dark nights in the remote and lonely place where all this will be taking place. Also there may well be one or two members attending who may find such conditions "challenging", God help them. Therefore talk of sporran clad knees and outrageous aprons seen wandering through the larder, or anywhere else come to that could present problems.

I would hate it if health and safety read this thread and deemed it necessary to conduct a risk assessment on the aforementioned knee sporrans, so a little more thought please.

Mind you I do think that the waterproof sun hat should accessorise nicely :eek:

If you think the pinny is bad you wait until they catch a glimps of Andy running about semi naked around the place with his flowing Ginger Locks blowing in the wind :eek: Actually i will have to remind him about tying his hair up while hes in the larder :D :D
Fester :D

After reading the above posts sort of wondering what we have let ourselves in for ... all this talk of pinnies could effect me for life I had a very sheltered upbringing not used to all this goings on :eek:
