gordy.r Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Will get it sent over when details are up too mate What was the overnight situation again? I remember reading earlier in the thread about some staying together and some getting a room with there partners, I'd prefer a double room for it if that's an option? or is that finding accommodation ourselves? There will be the option of huts, twin rooms and dorm accommodation. Other accommodation is available in the vicinity but it will all be explained in the thread post mate very soon. It's going to be an epic weekend again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkmeyer Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Sorry I think I read that the Jedi hut or Twin options are per couple per night? And that's how many are available in total to the group first come first served (2 and 3) We would like to reserve £130 me+1, £40 Hut £60 boat trip me+1 So £230 but this is covering only a deposit right? So how much more is it How many nights in the hut are needed or are we moving to another location?

Scott Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Sorry I'm not following, £70+£60 deposit. Plus extras which j think I read as a Jedi hut or Twin. But the Jedi is 2nights and twin is 3nights? Or that's how many are available in total to the group first come first serve? Example: £130 me+1, £40 Hut and £60 boat trip me+1 So £230 but this is covering only a deposit right? So how much more is it The Jedi/twin option covering 1 night I assume. The way I read it is £230 total cost (we're in a similar position) Your deposit to secure your stay is £130 for a couple. This includes the basic stay and your ferry transportation. If you want to add extras you can with the additional costs listed. They include £40 for the hut for 2 nights and £30 a skull for the boat trip..... £230 total. It's listed a as a deposit but it's actually full payment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just tried to make more sense of my question. But thanks for posting. Yeah fine with that if that's full payment. It's the for the 2nights per couple I couldn't be sure of but that's cool. Reserve us a Jedi hut please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £40 upgrade is all you need to pay to upgrade to a Jedi hut for the 2 nights So you will be £130 in deposits and £230 total will be full price of your tickets. Just add fuel and part of your food and drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If there are any twin en-suites left, we will have it. I must have missed the bit about the boat trip. Will have a look back in the thread before making a decision. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a look back in the thread before making a decision. H. No problem Havard, I'll update the list for you Apologies for the lack of info on the boat trip, there actually isn't very much about it on this years thread, so I'll provide some info. The AquaXplore boat trip sets off from Elgol, on the south west corner of Skye, in the beutiful setting of the dramatic black Cullen mountains. This area was popular recently with where Bear Grills took Ben Stiller on his show and also where Danny Mcaskill made his famous "Ridge video"; in fact you would be setting foot on the same boat that the previously mentioned people used to get dropped off on http://youtu.be/xQ_IQS3VKjAhttp://youtu.be/qrHGP_uKnGE I and others counted this trip as one of the highlights of the trip last year so I would highly recommend it The drive down there is worth it it's self and there is a chance of seeing dolphins and seals on the trip. It lasts 1h 30m and you are provided with waterproofs and life jacket. Edited February 15, 2016 by Marcus GTE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoaster Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 As previously said, twin room en suite for Kirsteen & me, so is that £130 + £40 = £170 deposit and full payment? Sadly no boat trip as Kirsteen gets seasick on small boats {And I'm too scared of her wrath to leave her behind!} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly no boat trip as Kirsteen gets seasick on small boats {And I'm too scared of her wrath to leave her behind!} Graham, I had remembered you saying so reserved you a twin en suite already Your deposit will be £70+£60= £130 and your twin room upgrade will be £20 in total (just taking the deposit first once we have the facility online) That's a shame about the boat trip, but I guess it can't be helped. We will need to rendezvous with you after it. There is plenty to do on Skye so I'm sure the two of you could plan a distraction for half the day. Let me know if you'd like some suggestions Edited February 16, 2016 by Marcus GTE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoaster Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Cool, I'll look out for the deposit facility. I'm really keen on the boat trip, so I will be suggesting that Kirsteen brings a book or similar if she wants to be a landlubber! I may be in for the boat trip yet.
