Can't make Wednesdays. Any other day?

Could people make Tue 11? Earlier in the week is likely to be quieter than later.marisca wrote:There's always one!

Re: Drinks
My social life is so nonexistent that I am free every evening that week. Sorry, Shuggy, it was so nearly unanimous.

I think I can probably get down there on that date.marisca wrote:So that's sorted! Wednesday 12th December, Doric Bar, Edinburgh from, say 1900 on. Now, who is coming?
Have any of the likely names been up to Faroe yet? I would really like to do it, but her indoors is uneasy. I pointed out it's only 2 days sailing from Stornoway so need not be a huge deal. (she has already sailed back from Norway via Shetland to the Clyde!)
Still to negotiate parole yet!

Re: Drinks
I seriously considering Faroes for summer 2019. No specific date yet, but sort of loosely thinking a week to get there, a week there and a week back. Depart Clyde for Stornoway, then on to Suderoy (south end), and meander north through the islands. Similar route back, though Orkney and Caledonian Canal is also a possibility. I have the charts for Faroes already.
As to meeting up, Wednesdays not great for me.

Re: Drinks
Despite referenda being apparently undemocratic in this confused world, I have created one to determine the most propitious day for drinks.mm5aho wrote: As to meeting up, Wednesdays not great for me.

Re: Drinks
Electric charts for Faroes - that sounds good. What voltage (format)? I'd like to get some in .KAP format. Any ideas where to get?

Re: Drinks
Sorry to interrupt the Faroes charts discussion but ....... The drink date plebiscite has had an underwhelming response but the conclusion could be that on Monday 10th, 4 people might turn up. Is that it? Can Pagoda book his away-day, off peak, train brief yet? Will anyone make a decision? Is the bearded dwarf a.k.a. K.McC still alive?

Re: Drinks
I'm fine for Monday - though it will be a long trek for a pint if nobody else turns upmarisca wrote:Sorry to interrupt the Faroes charts discussion but .......

Re: Drinks
I've been away for a couple of days, but have now voted: available any night, but would really urge against choosing Friday, and even Thursday might be quite busy.
