Article from the Scotsman.

I’m sure this will get a lot of moaning and groaning from certain crowds (the reaction to Sanny’s article in Singletrack springs to mind).

Hi all,
There is a place up in Nethy Bridge called the Mountain Bear Lodge. I’ve been wanting to stay in it for ages now but as in the name its a BIG lodge, suitable for groups and sleeps 16.

It is absolutely gorgeous inside and poses total luxury, complete with outside hot tub, indoor jacuzzi and sauna and has also an outdoor BBQ hut (aka Grillkota). This is not your average bear accommodation!!!!

There is a discount week available for Friday 14 September, making it £18.75 pppn, total cost £131 for a weeks holiday in MTB (hill walking) heaven. I wont go into just how much biking (walking) there is around this area – I think the success of the recent Aviemore trip proved that! I just wondered if there would be any interest in this mega fun trip up north?

More information on the lodge and lots of pictures here;

The downside is we need to pay the balance on booking because it is a discount week. But if anyone was interested shout up and we might have a bigger better GMBC Aviemore week away!

Dawn

8pm in Balbirs in Church Street with Elaine and Gee.

Me, Ginger, E, G, Graham, Luke and Iain C will be there. Any more takers, please post and I will book you.

Cheers

Hi all,

Just to remind you of times tonight.

For the folk attending the Christmas dinner, best to be there for 7pm for drinks as we’re seated at 7.30pm.

If you’re coming along later to join us for drinks, best to arrive around 9-9.30pm.

See u then

Just picked this up via Twitter, Carron Valley trails are currently closed due to fallen trees. No word yet on when they expect to have it cleared.

I assume there may be some down at Mugdock too.

EDIT: Carron Valley trails are open again. Hopefully the current storm won’t bring down more trees.

reading Graham’s report I’m undecided……

Hi all,

a big thanks to all of you who’ve given me the opportunity to be your new club chairman. Along with the rest of the committee, I’ll be striving to do the utmost for our club. With feedback from a lot of you at the AGM, we look to be implementing new features and make it an even more fantastic club to be a member of.

My apologies that this is almost a week after the AGM, but we (the committee) have been busy in the background sorting out further details on the big topic of debate. Keep your eyes peeled for another post shortly and an individual email.

Kind regards

Barry
