Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 10:12 am Post subject: ALVIE GT - We are back, stories and photos from page 13 :)
So excited now, only 5 weeks to go
Can you all confirm what day/time you are arriving. We have access from 4pm on Wednesday 18th June. I will be there from then.
I am planning a fishing trip, I know a few of you would like to go, so anyone wanting to, please confirm here.
I am waiting to hear back from Alvie Estate for a price for a BBQ on Friday 20th (midsummers night), so will let you all know and if it isn't too expensive it would be a laugh Also could be fun if we had a dress theme for it I was thinking of Flower Power
Each day we will be going out on walks to take in the wonderful scenery and where our boys and girls can be off lead. I would also like some competition idea's from you all just for fun.
Food: I think it would be a good idea for our evening meals and breakfast to pre organise what we are having each day. For lunches whilst we are out we can make sandwiches, rolls etc which between us all we can make each morning to take out with us. I do have loads of room in my car so if everyone is happy once it is agreed what food we are having, I am happy to get the food and collect the money from everyone. Let me know what you think.
There are many activities (other than going out with the dogs) available on Alvie Estate. If you want to do any of these, there are plenty of us to look after your Lab whilst you take part.

Sounds like a lot of fun, Jo. Shame we can't make it. Hope you all have a wonderful time. Take loads of photos and make us all jealous when you post them on here!

We'll be arriving Thursday afternoon, but not sure what time, depends when OH gets home from work Will aim for around 4-5ish, if he leaves work by 1 and by the time the car is packed up... As long as there is someone around to let us in... if they'll let us in Will you need car reg numbers?
I want to go fishing too, but if it happens before we arrive, you'll have to take me fishing another time OH will be going up mountains either on the Friday all day or the Saturday depends on the forecast - three munros is too much for me, otherwise I'll be in bed by 8pm
I'm happy with my cereal for breakfast - quick and easy, you know I take ages to get ready in the mornings as it is
We will probably arrive later on the Wednesday night, we are going to come straight from work. So maybe 8 ish.
As far as food is concernd. Michael is a bit fussy! Not horribley... just a bit. So I'm not too sure about community meals. Breakfast and lunch are no probs.. but evening meal could be tricky.
BBQ is a great idea
um what else... I started this post about an hour ago and got called away....
Oh yeah... things to do... I like the sound of the quad bikes!!!! Wonder if we could get a shot of some agility equipment from somewhere? Maybe hide and seek with the dogs? We hide... dog has to find us ... quickest dog wins?
um....I'm thinking of all the party games for a kids party that you could ammend....

Fishing
Would love to have a go as long as some one is there to tell me what to do!
BBQ
FLOWER POWER WOULD BE BRILL, if its a happy hippy theme i could bring some music up!!
Activities
Dog show, for waggist tail, handsome dog, beautiful female, for labs & non labs don't know if any are coming!
treasure Hunt some one before hand goes & hides things round the estate & we have teams & clues to go & find them, this would be a fun walk for the Labs & something for us to have fun with, prize could be something we all pay a little towards
I think thats a good idea & if people could put up what they do & dont like a menu could be planned around that![B]
He doesn't do veg, won't eat onions. Doesn't eat much in the way of red meat... won't eat mince or mincey meals like chili or spag bol. He's pretty good at picking out from a meal what he doesn't want... but it can be hard on him sometimes... and for whoever is cooking!
