I tried to post myself as in Worcester, the nearest biggish town, some one is already there. So can you have two people in the same town? (Yes, I'm sure its big enough).

So do you actually live on a bridge then?
No that would be silly. I live underneath it and I'm partial to small goats
But I don't like to use my real name on internet forums as it would give the wrong impression

I suppose I associate it with my honeymoon (we went to Ballachullish / Glencoe, Skye, then Mull and then Fort William). We must have driven through your village.
It is certainly very remote, I'll give you that. But fantastically beautiful. Although I suppose it doesn't always seem quite so grand when it is sheeting it down as it must do regularly (which reminds me of another memory I have of Mallaig as a kid when I was sent out of the car to get a pot of jam from the boot - I promptly dropped it and the rain was that hard it washed away the jam and shards of glass!).
I take it there are no other takers for the CC meetup in Ardnamurchan then!

Dammit, if I had the time and mney to get there, I'd be up for it!
But I fear I won't have either, for a while anyway...
Watched Local Hero again on Sunday, always makes me long for the wilds of Scotland and a wee croft, or a beachcombing hut...
Sheeting it down! Oh yes! That's why my bike is permanently on the turbo and my excercise spreadsheet has lots of orange cells all over it indicating turbo rides.You do feel the weather a lot more up here, rain free days are rare. Like you Chris I'd only ever been in these parts on my hols, lots of washed out climbing days in Glencoe and Ft. Bill BUT it can take your breath away sometimes.
There are still plent of crofts Arch but a lot of land has/is being de-crofted to make way for new ventures, building homes etc... Once you could pick up a croft quite cheap but not these days, the wilds are popular again.

A friend found an ad on Gumtree for a croft in Orkney, for £140,000. 23 acres I think, a cottage and several stone outbuildings/workshops. The only thing stopping me was a slight lack of £140,000....

The campsite is at the National Water sports Centre, that is the nearist one. I found 2 numbers for it. This one. Its the one with postcode NG12 2LU. And this one. I think the number on that one will take you through the the office down there at HPP. There nice people there though, and should be able to help.
I found this. Not sure if anyone can use it, might be good if places are booked up. It could be a private one only for conferrences though, dont know too much about it.
If anyone does go to HPP for a walk, or their family go for a walk or whatever, make sure you park near the White Water course, as far to the building as you can. There are lots of tea leafs that go round there, and will break in whenever. I got told by a kayaker a while ago, that down by the regatta lake is a dogging area.
I rang the campsite today. He was only interested in pre-booking if you need an electric hook-up. He reckoned 18 acres was enough space for tents.
He said there is a major event on at the Watersports centre and they've got a three wheel car convention/piss up* going on that weekend. So as well as the Dalai Lama it should be an interesting weekend eh?
I didn't ask about dogging or thievery.
