TTC - Not this year

I've been trying for a few months to get the TTC arranged for September this year. The accommodation has been the problem. As the Dreadnought Hotel was up for sale, I had to wait until early June for the sale to go through and for the new owners (Caledonian Travel, a bus tour company) to start taking bookings. Initial information looked promising as the sale did complete and refurbishment has started with the hotel planning to reopen at the end of July. However, when I made contact with the booking office, although they did have rooms for our planned weekend (12th to 14th September) they would only take 3-night bookings (Friday to Monday). So that was a non-starter. I've spent the last few weeks exploring alternative accommodation but there is nothing available (I do have a few options for 2026 though). So there is no TTC this year unfortunately.

We will instead do a TTC long run in the Trossachs on Sunday 14th September in packs, followed by a lunch. Details to follow nearer the time.
