Still looking to finalise Friday night Accommodation....
Although it's a tad dearer,if a few of us paired up in Twin Rooms,then it would be more sensible price wise.....
I looked at e-bookers,booking.com,Expedia,etc for the place I got quotes for a group booking,of minimum 8 rooms,at least 4 with 2 person occupancy,and total guests not less than 12!!

Our rates are £175per night,for 2 people sharing.....
The same place,same day on all other sites is £140,for Bed and Breakfast Only....
So we are getting Two 3- course meals (2 people) for only £35,in 4star hotel,with award winning food, apparently....which is usually£30-35 per person,per 3 course meal.
Let me know your thoughts.
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IFOR THOSE OF US WANTING SINGLE OCCUPANCY,AND DON'T WANT TOMPAIR UP WITH SOMEONE THEY MAY NOT HAVE MET BEFORE,IN A TWIN ROOM,ITS GOING TO BE £150 FOR 1 NIGHT,WHICH IS A BIT MUCH,IMO....
HOWEVER,THAT DOES INCLUDE THE COST OF A GOOD 3-COURSE MEAL.(Circa £30 usually).

For those wanting to pay,pm me,need Deposits for the Saturday night Accommodation asap.....
It's the cheaper of the two nights so far.
Thanks :thumbsup:

It's proving difficult for cheap-ish Accommodation that can take all of us and the rooms we require,that has somewhere to eat onsite or nearby,with a bar on hand,and it needs to be in a certain area,as we drive the route....hence why prices are dearer than outwith the Highlands.
Skye is much the same.....many parts of Scotland are cheaper,or if you are only looking for more or two rooms in a b n b.....
Anyway,spiel over ,haha
I think this Good value and ok with it i am in, :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Craig i live in the south everything is expensive

PLEASE PM ME YIUR CAR DETAILS AND MOBILE PHONE NUMBERS,FOR THOSE I DON'T ALREADY HAVE :thumbsup:
Cheers folks :D

Just a heads up, the Premier Inns are putting their prices up so if you are looking at booking a room in one of them get onto it asap or you will be paying slightly more for a room that currently costs £35 :thumbsup:

I am sure by now most folk will have had a PM from Craig so know where the starting point is and also have some info from Craig re the Premier Inns that are being looked at so sorry if I am speaking out of turn :wink:

Hello Craig, all,

I confess I failed to keep up with the developments/progress. I will review and action.

Craig, I am planning to join with my wife: she participated to the North Wales drive last year and now is very enthusiastic about any car-related trips, she also find the seats of the Z4 very comfortable! The g-forces a little less :wink:

Hi Craig,

I will be in my Westfield. Looks a lot like a Caterham but is a kit. I am not bothered but on the Westfield forum There is a wee bit of rivalry. :D

So looking forward to this and it is so far away!! I have watched too many videos of other NC500 I may have to do a wee bit of exploring before this. Maybe just go to Plockton or something, somewhere the route doesn’t take us.
