I suppose it's about time we started posting some useful information for this year.
If you're coming from far afield ( and by that I mean further than Dumbarton ) you'll need somewhere to stay.Last year we had Swiss, Irish and a melting pot of Londoners come to visit us along with several non-messengers, everyone will be made welcome... unless you come from Carluke .Friday night takes place in Glasgow so drop us a line here: westcoastmess@yahoo.co.uk and we'll sort you out with a couch or floor. Saturday is camping so a tent/hammock would be good or at least a sleeping bag so you can spoon in someone elses tent... alternatively you can stay up all night throwing stones at the moon with the locals ( I swear I hit it last year ), or book into the hotel. If you're one of the lucky one's who doesn't miss the last ferry on Sunday another couch in Glasgow awaits, then it's up to you and the couch owner how much longer you get to stay.
In unrelated tandem news apparently it's going to be red...if Bike Booty can grab a spare minute to paint it between fixing Art School student's Raleigh Shoppers.
