2016 visitation.

Been a bit remiss in updating the blog of late, especially to advertise this year's visit. Well, we're going. This year the intention is to travel on Saturday 30th July transferring to the island on Sunday 31st. Depending on weather etc the intention would be to come off on Friday.
We haven't undertaken a final headcount yet but if anyone would like to come, please ask. We can always fit more people in, especially if you have your own transport to Tongue.
If you want the nuts and blots, planning and pitfalls in order to make a decision phone Kenny on 07946 079177
