Re: sex pistols

hi chris was up at cameron house during the week. very nice place, quite fancy a lodge there, drove round the estate lots of building work but hmmmm i didnt see any marina, i take it its right down past the big lodges, I didnt go all the way down though. went up to duck bay for lunch - not a boat in sight anywhere even on the water, I remember this place being very busy years ago, I do mean years ago. Went further up to luss. only one boat out all day and the water was like glass. lovely day too on a monday is it really so quiet there.
Ive booked a lodge at balloch caravan park which has a place in the park for your boat while you stay. I,ll look more into it after i get her up for a first water trial since refurb. Ive seen dry storage near balloch for around a pound a day - thats the same as port edgar, queensferry where i usually keep her.
I like the sound of it, going to check it out if engine works ok in test run.

Re: sex pistols

Cheeny,

The marina would have been right in front of you behind the building work, The marina office and restaurant is currently being built on the left as you drive along the road. Let us know when your going up and I could meet up with you. Where is Balloch Caravan Park ?

Re: sex pistols

honey - so thats wots the buildings are - was wondering if I could get a job there hmmmmm!!
here's the link to the park http://www.holiday-parks.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3&Itemid=3- it looks very well kept so it wasnt a surprise to find its a ***** 5 star (no i dont work there or own it). Ive booked a new skyline lodge wotever that is '08 version cheap if you go throuth the week. parking for then trailor boats £2 per night and free use of duncan mills slip. sounds too good. booked for 16th - 20th june. speak soon if sea trial goes well at queensferry at the weekend.

Re: sex pistols

Weather murder! but slightly better i take it than down south ha ha.

I did get a good tan in the boat though - Fitting the seats and seat rails back in. in my sisters driveway! (must remember to buy a boat that works in future) thats 2 in a row!
