Anyone near Ayr ?

[Canada Bob]

Anyone live near Ayr, I'll be back across the pond in a couple of weeks, and while I'm there I fancy as day {March 22nd} at Ayr races...

So I'm looking for decent digs in or around Ayr, for 2-3 days, no point in rushin back to Wigin is there...

Try sending YOMPA a personal message - he is in that neck of the woods ... not Ayr, but close-by

[+Gringo]

Knowing Yompa he'll probably compete with the piggin' horses as part of his Highland March training....he could be worth a couple quid on a side bet.  :015: :015:

I stayed in Troon for a year. Like Dingwall without the traffic lights.

[CaleyD]

I just checked the telephone directory and you wouldn't believe it, but their are hundreds of thousands of people live near Ayr - honest.

Try the Ayrshire and Galloway hotel in Burns Statue Square, right across from Rabbies bar. If you dare! :011:

Can I nominate IHE for post of the year?

Priceless :015: :015: :015:

[Heilandee]

Can I nominate IHE for post of the year?

[Alex MacLeod]

Some useful numbers there, but I'll try to steer a wide berth from the Cemetries & Crematorium listing  :007:

Right, thanks for the nod Alex, appreciated...

I've had a look on the www lots to chose from, they all look good on tinternet, but it's local knowledge that's more reliable than Ad's on the www.

Bob, try the Caledonian Hotel (Ramada Jarvis) in Barns St just across from the Gaity theatre.

I've always found it do be good.

No' the cheapest though

Hello Stevie... Thanks for the above, appreciated... I've had a look at it on tinternet, look quite nice, and they have a special on at 75 quid pppn for DBB

that's not bad, so I'm between there and the Piersland at Troon. One of the lads is a golf fanatic, he's never been to Scotland, lives here in Canada,

so he's just bustin a gut to get a round in at Troon or maybe Gleneagles if we can sort that out for him.

I don't play golf, it's Ayr races that attracts me, just hoping that it's not fleeing while we're up there, I could use a bit of warm weather, warmer than the -20C that we've had here in Canada. Mind you it did nae bother me, I haven't hardly been out the house the last couple of months, I'd a job getting up and doon the stair let alone wander down the street, but I'm off the chemo now, and feeling a damned sight better for it.

Thanks for the nod Stevie, I'll get something sorted out this week, afore all the rooms get booked up.
