I was out at the lodges today for a brief post mortem, and I passed on the slight disappointment felt about the poor level of wifi and the standard of cooking at The Bistro.
They gave me two items which had been found by the cleaners - a dark blue 3-button sweater or jumper, prob. cashmere, brand "Red Herring"; and a Nikon EN-EL-3e battery, pale grey in colour.
If the owners of these items would like to PM me with a postal address, I will post them to anywhere in the known universe.

David, don't feel bad about the cooking or wifi, it wasn't your fault!
I still have the dark blue rain jacket that Simone found, so please inform me and I will post it to you.

We did not have warm water for a week in the middle hut
The stove in the upper hut was 3/4 defunct. We had no WiFi.
But. All in all we did not care. Our shower was halfways working
the diswasher washed dishes and Bob was our uncle.
After all accomodation was very cheap and the place was wonderful
by the Loch. You and Mayumi did everything and more to make us
happy. Thank you. Wonderful.

It is funny how ridiculously important fast Internet service has become in our world now, isn't it? But we all can survive a bit of slow internet. "-)
The wonderful people and the excursions and the photo opportunities and the touring around were the important and best factors in this meet-up. So Dave thank you again for all your efforts in making this a simply stellar NG Meet-up.

I lost my heart to Scotland .... A pity I had to break off my stay for medical reasons, but I'll be back for sure.
Massive thanks to Dave for pulling this event through so successfully. Also most enjoyable to meet old and new friends in another NG context. PhotoKina next, guys.

PhotoKina next, guys.
Certainly working on that!
No cheapo but all inclusive certainly...

I lost a glove when I left on the Wednesday. (Montane brand)
It had been found by Frank and Bez had agreed to take it to Manchester, but when he went to pick it up on the day of the departure, the lost property had been removed from the table.
Dave has not taken it, is anybody (especially those who were staying in the middle lodge) able to help me find it?
Thanks in advance.

When I left with Francis at 7:40 on Saturday morning the glove was still on the table together with the lost property, French wine and Liquor and the rain coat

Thanks Frank, we now know that at least until 7:40 the glove and all the rest of the stuff was still on the table.
Does anybody who stood by the table after Frank's and Francis' departure has anything to add?
-
I only noticed the rain coat and gave that to Jakov. Somehow I see a vague memory of a glove, but I don't know what happened to it.
Andrea was the last to leave the middle cottage. And there were also Thomas, Anthony and Günther around. One of the four must have seen the glove.
-
I'm rather amazed that no-one realises that they have lost a cashmere sweater and/or a genuine Nikon battery (see the first post in this thread).

When I picked up the garbage bags at the two lower cottages to load into Erik's van for disposal near reception, the lost & found on the porch had already been dealt with by someone. I did see some things on the table much earlier that morning.

Well then at some point between 7:40 when Frank and Francis left, and the time when Andrea/Bez noted that the lost&found had disappeared (whichever happened first), somebody must have taken it and moved it to somewhere.
Can the person who moved it please come forward and tell what happened?
This is becoming like Cluedo... I feel compelled to find the solution.

Unless I mix up stuff, Bez left much earlier than me. He left next after Frank and Francis. I don't know what happened to the glove between these two events. Maybe it was still there and Bez did not see it? What about Chris?

I "only" took some gear with me on the way back home. :)

Do you remember seeing the glove when you collected your items, and can you remember what time it was?

Simone (simato73), I had also heard you (or someone??) lost some keys? Did you find them? I wanted to let you (or whomever) know that I looked under sofas & beds and under sofa cushions for lost keys and other items before I left the cottage but I did not find any keys. I hope you did find those.
I did find a 1-pound coin between two sofa cushions which I left for the cleaners to find. "-)

That was me, but it was a false alarm. The keys were in my suitcase and I found them after one day.

Whatever is not claimed - I will send my address.
The cashmere owner haven't looked for his cashmere yet - Better you ask WHO on the trip owns a cashmere ;D ;D ;D
(better skip the battery - I think everyone owns one of those)
-
Well a Nikon EN-EL-3e battery was supplied with the D700, D300S, D300, and D200 cameras. That might narrow things down a little.
(It also works in the D100, D70, D70S, and the D50.)
-
I have lots of Cashmere stuff but I took all of it home.
This IS a funny thread for all who have not lost anything.
Poor Simone.
Have you heared of the famous Scotch "glove eater"?
It is a cat like creatue with a beaver tail that lives beneath
old oak trees and needs one glove a year to build a nest for
her litter to raise. Never seen one in UV or IR though.....
-
If the glove was anywhere close to a washing machine it is probably gone forever... :)
-
Yeah... go on, laugh at me.
This is a serious matter.
That poor little glove is out there all alone, scared and it is pining to be reunited with me.
-
Indeed, we need to take the gloves off about this glove :D
-
That cashmere "Red Herring" brand is a Scottish one, I think. So it might have been left by previous tenants unless some NG member went shopping while in Scotland? I certainly wanted to, but refrained this time due to the rather steep airline ticket price I'm going to be paying soon when the credit card bill arrives. (...groan....)
I know that glove was with the lost & found at some point because Anthony & I looked at it. It could be that it is hitch-hiking home even as I write. It might also have met a nice companion and is off on a lark. You never know with gloves.
P.S. Happy to hear the keys were safe.

Soon enough I will be receiving postcards from my glove, posted from all over the world.
