Bugger. I'm heading up to the Hebrides in summer, but their ticket offer excludes use in August.

I entered when it first appeared, somewhat disappointed that I didn't win. Been planning a trip through the islands for a few months already.

You are not going to believe this but I have just won again :lol: :-bd . Same trip, Oban to Tiree. I re entered the same trip again as I never thought I would win the first time round. Means we can go back later in the year to take in stuff we miss on the first visit. All very strange this as I rarely win anything like this.

Well done Ray, gotta love Tiree. You absolutely must have lunch at the Elephants End at Gott Bay.Last time I was there I had a Ploughmans with both ham(home cured) and 2 cheeses, plus the most enormous bowls of Potato salad, coleslaw and pickle and a huge hunk of bread baked on site!! I could barely get back on my bike afterwards, I just road over the road and fell asleep in the Maram grass on the beach opposite :lol: :oops:

Same. Not 100% convinced with their random prize draw techniques if the only people to win the second draw are the same ones that won the first time around! :lol:

Sorry flatfishy, much as I would love to re visit Lewis it is a bit beyond our pocket this year as we would feel the need to take the car. Thanks for the offer though.
