I respect the aged, so I shall make allowances for you
Edinburgh, we are NOT stopping at Edinburgh
If you meant Inverness for Day 4 (which is miles away from Edinburgh last time I looked at the map

), then that still stands, so please DO NOT CANCEL
Those who have booked into the Royal Beach Hotel in Portsmouth for Day 1 will need to cancel their bookings with the Royal Beach if the group agree to decamp the group to Best Western Innlodge in Portsmouth in order to stay as one group.
HOWEVER, until we have a consenses agreement to take the Best Western group booking, I believe it will be unwised for those who have booked into the Royal Beach to cancel their bookings.
So Max, hold on to your bookings with the Royal Beach until further notice, please
As for Dumfries, that information was only posted up last thing Friday, so I suggest we give it another 48h for people to come online after the weekend to see what they think.
I personally would strongly advise to take the group booking option for Portsmouth and Dumfries with Best Western, purely because the rates are very good
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In summary, just for Max

:
1. Those who have booked hotels so far, please DO NOT cancel any bookings you have made until further notice.
2. Please indicate your preferences (as in go/no go) with regard to taking the group bookings with Best Western for Portsmouth and Dumfries no later than 11 Aug 2004.
2.1 PLEASE read the T&Cs with regard to group booking, and my proposed way of handling them in the first post of this thread BEFORE you make your decision
Hope this make sense, and stay away from the single malt, Max
