The UKClimbing article is a good place to start so go and look there first if you're considering whether or not to join us.
The information here will build as a better idea of who's coming and what arrangements (travel and accom) they make for themselves will be published. The Meet Leader has already posted her travel tips on the forum, That said (double figures already @ Feb-12), most of the confirmed attendees are flying out as far as Bodo (on 6th July but with some variation in airline and routes) and then hiring a car and taking one of the (again numerous) ferry routes across the water to get to the Islands.
Following the Planning session on 2nd February, an email distribution list has been created to update interested parties - some, but not all, of that information will also be published here. If you'd like to join that list then please contact the Meet Leader.
