Alt Bar At Ledmore

[haresear]

Doogs,

Any idea who has the place now? Not the inchnadamph folk :shock:

As far as I know it was Eric's wife that was running it but that was last season - may have been too early yet, but all the signs etc were out.

Having said that we popped along to Inchnadamph mid afternoon and Lurch told us the bar didn't open 'til 5.

Not the usual Assynt hospitality..................

Doogs

Was the Alt actually open?

[doogs]

We were there mid afternoon and there was no one about, no lights, doors closed etc but didn't actually bang on the door............Some 'for sale' signs up at one of the chalets.

[Dunkeld]

Your right about the chalets, they have been 'up' for a couple of years, the guy who runs them want's to retire - they are ott in terms of cost imho @ 45-50k for what amounts to a room/kitchen and an en-suite. I noticed that the web site has not been updated since last year so maybe they have given up - it would be a serious blow to the chalet business if the Alt is closed.

Met the new couple when I was there a couple of weeks ago. The Alt is being completely refurbed and should be open by now. They will be handling the fishing again which is good news. The couple were very nice (not anything to do with Inchnadamph) and I think they will make a go of things.

Cheers

Wee update.

For those of you going up that way, the Alt re-opened on June 24th

Cheers

Folks

The Alt is now fully opeartional as the base for fishing permits and boats in the East Assynt area.

Cheers

[doogs]

That's good news.  Are they doing permits for the whole Assynt Angling area?  It'll be nice to have somewhere handy to pop in for a pint 'n nip after a hard day on the lochs.  Will thet welcome fishers?

[Dunkeld]

Hi Doogs

You can get bank permits at the Alt for any loch handled by the Assynt Anglers however the Alt only has control over boats on loch in the East Zone (Awe, Cama, Veyatie Ailsh and East end of Assynt).

The number is 01854 666260.

For more details on the 'Zones' check out www.assyntangling.co.uk

I am sure anglers will be welcome at the Alt. The new owners were very friendly when I met them before it re-opened. Anglers, Hillwalkers and Geologists are the spine of the business.

Cheers
