Weekend in Oban

[Polly]

Ooh that would be fun - bring the rum!

[Phil O]

All sorted - I'm travelling by train and arriving around 3:30 on Friday afternoon. Will anybody be there by then?

[Polly]

I'm attempting Ben Nevis that day - apologies if I fall off the mountain before we get to dive.

You will find me in the nearest pub or hospital....!

I should be up there by 3:30pm, I'll pm my mobile, I can pick you up at the station if you need a lift with your gear,

I'm hoping to arrive about 3-ish also...meet in the pub?

[Phil O]

Excellent - looks like we'll be in a pub before 4, which may be a bad thing.

I am really looking forward to this weekend. I had recently lost the will or desire to dive in the UK and have not been in the water since May. I blame this solely on having some stupendous dives on The Brothers in June - having done that I have not been able to get motivated to do anything here. But then Oban came up - I hope we can get on Hispania. Such a lovely wreck with the excitement of a bit of current at the end of slack. And the MishNish on Saturday night.!!

Whoo hoo!

[Scrawn]

Hopefully, we'll do the Hispania. I haven't dived it yet...

If we're meeting in the pub, I like most lagers, most decent single malts and peanuts. This isn't a hint, it's just for general information..

Met office 5 day forecast looks good for Oban on Fri night - very Christmassy - extra fleece required (or more rum :rolleyes
Polly - Ice Axe required for Ben Nevis?

[Polly]

Well, I'm technically setting off straight from school on Thursday afternoon, sleeping in the car at a service station and doing Nevis (attempting anyway, if I'm on my own I'll have to be careful) on Friday. Probably won't get to the pub until about 6ish. (Don't worry, I'm VERY good at catching up!)

However, I'm out on the beers tomorrow night so I might need my bed on Thursday night, in which case I'll be there for 3ish on Friday. The sparkly shoes are already packed...


Edit: Scrap that. Just been looking at the weather and hours of daylight available and think it will probably get a bit nasty up near the top. Don't think I should head up there on my own, especially as I pretty much nearly got blown off it last time I attempted it. Think I'll leave it for next summer...will be a good excuse to head back there!

And there you have it. A moment of sensibility (or was it just the lure of the pub?) Just the one moment though. I'm not about to make a habit of it.

Just checking everyone ok for this weekend..two full clinders, kit, know where the hotel is, more importantly- know where the pub is??
