Back by popular demand, we all had such a great time on Arran it has to be an annual trip.
Specific day trips can be added later but on Arran there's something for everyone.
I've opened an early booking with Middletons camp site, they're really happy to have us back, it's a really nice site and we'd a great BBQ and sing song night there. They normally don't take bookings till March 2023 for next summer but if you say that you're with John Harris' group then they will take a special booking, I booked before I left 😀. Their phone number is 01770 600251. Book early if you want to ensure hook up, anyhoo, from my van I'll be providing the re-charging service for phones and power packs.
For the sing along, word sheets will be produced for next year and if the singing isn't too difficult then any request will be considered. Also, if you play any instrument then bring it along, the more the merrier.
A very useful wee book is the Cicerone guide "Walking on Arran" by Paddy Dillon, it covers the full range of walks on Arran along with good background information.
If you missed out on the 2022 trip make sure that you don't miss out on this one, very, very few people only go to Arran once.
Points to note for 2023, if we want to do the Holy Island trip we will need to book early and if we want a night in the Peir Head Tavern in Lamlash again we will need to book at least a day or two before.
Take care and I hope to see you all before next year.

Thanks to Tracy for putting together this year's WhatsApp group so if we leave it intact then it will save some work for next year, we can just add the new joiners
Can you add my number to the whatsApp group please John and so sorry I missed it this year.....sounds like you had a smashing time.
Couldn't come this year - so planning ahead this time. Bought my motorhome 10 years ago to tour Scotland but never got further than the Lakes yet - so this will be a good target. :-)
So with 17 definites a year before the trip, it is going to be another great week 😊, I'm so pleased that I've introduced the wonderful isle of Arran to many, looking forward to next year.
Can you add my name to the What'sApp group please.
Can you add my name to WhatsApp group too please, John?
Hi Bridget, that's it done, welcome to the Arran group 😀
Hi John, I've heard so much about this trip, I'd love to come along next year. I've put it in my diary. 😊
Hi Yorkshirelass,
Thanks, the trip went really well this year and as you can see by how many are coming back for next year, it should be another great trip.
Let me know if you need any details about travelling, accommodation or whatever.
Cheers, John.
I'd definitely be interested in this! Is it a full week? And would it be possible to just join for a few days if unable to do a full week? Not sure what my holiday dates from work will be looking like next year yet!
Hi LovingLife,
People attending can come and go as they please, that was one of the reasons I set it over a weekend so if members are a bit short on holidays they can join in for a long weekend.
This year most people stayed at Middletons camp site and I think they will again for next year.
If you need any further info then just let me know
Great, thanks for the info 😊
