Budget training camp
Ok so the rich retired guys can head to the sun but this camp will be for those who are keen to get some additional training done but have to gamble with the joys of the Scottish weather. Plan is to take four days away and cram in some varied routes with good mileage. Suggested venues so far include Argyll, Perthshire, Borders and Mull. We would stay in reasonable accomodation and share costs.

Lots of ideas about this have been circulating and we need to find out levels of interest.
