Thanks Jackie - so, does mentioning your name get a discount <smile> Like you say, a long way for me, from Devon! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 3:38 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Hotels for the blind | Hi Andy and all | | The hotel is called Old Pines, and it resides in the beautiful village of | Spean Bridge. Blimey, I'm beginning to sound like something out of the | Scottish Tourist Board, and I don't even come from these parts (smile). | Yes, they can organise excursions for you. There are lots of walks, and the | Nevis Range is not too far away. We went there this year, and went for a | ride up in one of the gondolas. That, I must say, was hilarious. It was | probably the only place, about 2,500 feet up, that we could all get mobile | phone signals. My husband was desperate to explore the gondola as we were | travelling up, but I made him sit down. My son, on the other hand, couldn't | look down! | | The URL for the hotel is | http://www.oldpines.co.uk/default.asp?page=home | | I hope this is of some use to anyone who is interested in coming north. I | warn you though, it's a heck of a long way from you southerners (smile). | | Jackie | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 3:21 PM | Subject: [access-uk] Re: Hotels for the blind | | | > Jackie - I like to travel; this hotel you say you can recommend in | > Scotland, | > where exactly is it?
