The Guys who signed up late i have already mentioned to them that they need to provide a case of ale ( a 24 pack of either lager or bitter of decent variety not tesco’s value variety) for their attendance and they need to sort out they’re own transport costs etc.

For those NOT GOING in Uni convoy you will be sorting out your own travel expenses.
For those in the uni convoy, i.e. mini bus, van, si’s car or my car will pay £50 to cover fuel and hire costs etc.

Meeting times are as follows

wed 12th 7pm to sort out paddling gear and load the van etc to minimise faff

Thurs am.

Thurs 13th 6am Meet at sheds to load up

Thurs 13th 6.20am We roll, IF YOUR NOT THERE WE WILL GO WITHOUT YOU BE
WARNED!!!!!

Thurs 13th 6.45 am Collect Sara from Haydock island M6 J23. WE WILL WAIT 5 MINS THEN GO!!!

Thurs 13th 1300 Get on Orchy

Thurs 13th approx 1830-1900 arrive at Grey corrie lodge

Fri 14th Meet the people coming on Fri somewhere to paddle.

We will try to endevour to run the trip in 2 groups water dependent as a beginner intermediate group and an advanced group, on the understanding that the people in the advanced group give up some of their time to help look after the beginner intermediate group for a trip or two.

Social arrangements

We will be based at Grey Corrie lodge so bring lots of beer, games etc what you think might be of use. evening entertainment usually consists of after people are fed and watered the alcohol fuelled fun and frolics usually commence, if you do not want to stay in there is a pub next door and one 500 yards down the road.

Sunday Evening we will be going to the caileigh at the pub down the road, so you will need bunny ears and a toga to participate, if you don’t want to take part and be boring and embarress yourself infront of people you probably will never see again unless you make scotland an annual excursion then, it is allowed that the goup can taunt and tease you until you buy each of them a beer!!!

You will also need something to make an easter hat to paddle in on the sunday, and there will be an optional competition of egg decorating to do where a prize will be given for the best one.

remember there is only 28 beds so some of us competing for beds will end up on the floor or camping so take a sleeping bag and something to sleep on as the floor is hard and cold!

FOOD

I will provide communal tea, coffee and sugar any other delights will be down to you to provide.

You should by now know your food groups.

If your in the uni convoy then DO NOT BRING FOOD OR BEER WITH YOU as we need every available inch to pack people and gear into the vehicles. We will do a shop in Fort William on thursday evening onthe way to the
lodge.

Personal Money

Remember we are in the back of beyonds so make sure that you have enough money for beer as ATM’s are few and far between and we cannot guarantee that they are taking cards and cashback.
