    Well i'm back :wave: just shy of a 1000 miles door to door,glorious weather all weekend,spent £60 on midgy sprays and nets and the blights never showed up :S wigwam was basic but comfy site facilities was top notch I can fully recommend using this site if anyones heading up there :clap: :clap:
    ,bit of bad luck Friday three of the lads wrecked there bikes,campsite entrance was pretty well hidden and water was still running off the mountain onto the road the lead bike spotted the entrance last minute braked hard and stopped 2nd bike managed to stop 3rd bike not so lucky he ploughed into the back of both of them :( all's well mind no serious injurys thankfully just a bit of bruising and dented pride,looks like 2 bikes will be wrote off :cry:
