Oban Trip

[Ben Harris]

Definitely doing something in November. I guess it depends on sea conditions etc. Still there are also loads of weird inland sites, lakes, lochs, etc, to try out I guess.

Whats the accomodation options like in Oban? Do we need to book early, do you reckon its half term up there then?? Would that be a problem.....

I'd already consigned myself to the (boring) inland stuff for instructing purposes, its just that my other half has had to miss out on a nice trip to Loch Aline due to study pressures so I thought it would be a nice alternative to go on a weekend trip with the YD-ers. I usually find that Oban etc is pretty amenable re the weather as there are lots of excellent sheltered areas when the wind whips it up (unlike our NE coast

As I have already stated. Gav does NOT do camping.

Accomodation is usally pretty easy to book. We'll need to get it lined up 7-10 days before. Do people have a preference for self-accomodation or hotel/B&B?

I must admit I like stayingh in town so I can be close to the Oban Inn and other beer shops.

I don't mind organising but I might co-opt people in to arranging some of the facets.

Should be fun !

Gav, I dont mind helping organising whatever, gives me something to do at work!!

I've stayed at Alchemy Andy's just outside Oban, 6 berth residential caravan (self catering) and every diving need catered for

<span =''>
You mean Tralee Bay? I told the missus that was where the dive trip was to..... She was not too impressed when she found out it was Tralee Bay, Oban - not Tralee Bay, Ireland!

Ooops!

And Gav does do camping - it's just his version includes 3 stars and room service. As for the smoking ;)

Gav does do camping, he just doesnt know it yet. He has experienced the true love of the cold, Scotish outdoors under canvass.
