Cheers Peter. Don't know why you had so much trouble,but hopefully it's all sorted now
Well the girl Friday has been unable to pass my request to pay across to the proprietor, despite an email and 4 phone calls..
So in the end I left my card details with the girl Friday..
I’ll check to see if my card has been debited in a couple of days..maybe the proprietor is busy caring for all her guests..
I had a brief conversation with her .. decided that charting to the female version of Faulty’s Manuel was going nowhere so rang back later and spoke to the owner
Both sounded lovely .. but one was pointless speaking too

I was only three phone calls so I have the record. First one to the proprietor but she was in the wrong part of the hotel to take a booking. Told to ring back in 20 mins if okay. Rung back a little too quick and got Manuel in the kitchen and then third time was a success.
To be fair everyone was really nice and they will have a skeleton staff at the moment until May.

I have paid for both Friday and Saturday nights accommodation and have emailed you the Friday night menu choices.
All the best and not too long to wait now.

So all good

I follow some of the FB NC500 groups
Some choice comments today about a group of Porsche’s blasting through Durness
Seems the locals have had enough of yobs in high performance cars treating it like the Nurburgring
Apparently you can rent Supercars in Inverness and it’s very popular with Germans !
But then they are also ranting about camper vans going too slow
And
Rental cars on the wrong side of the road
Hey ho

Living just North of Fort William we always see a lot of exotica in the Summer on their way North. The convoys of nice cars have started a little while ago. Over the past week alone I have seen many Porsches, Lambos, McLarens, BMW M's along with some rarer machinery. Saw a Lancia integrale today's hitch was beautiful. I think the main thing to keep locals onside is be respectful when going through villages as regards speed and noise.

Exactly,don't blast through towns loudly,at crazy speeds,as we do,keep within the speed limits thru towns/villages.
Looking forward to this, hopefully we get decent weather

I thought that was probably the case but worth asking.
