Scottish Camping meet.

Johnny50 · 27-05-2008, 15:54

Seeing as the (semi) decent weather is upon us at the moment, and a fair few of us have raised interest in camping.

Can we throw up some suitable venues...dates people are free etc... and get something moving.

Maybe just a saturday night somewhere, few hundred beers and cider and some dodgy bbq grub.

Not sure where is good for camping to be honest, so i'll dig around and see what i can see, otherwise suggestions most welcome.

Everyone welcome, and am sure we're all willing to travel for the right venue.

I'll have a think when I get home and see if I can remember where I used to stay. My favourite one was up near Inverness which is probably a bit far for a night, but I think I stayed at a few in the Borders too.

I'm willing to travel to other exciting places, however.

Johnny50 · 27-05-2008, 16:35

I've no problem with travelling.

Fort William etc would be good.

That would be a good area: it's a nice drive from all directions too.

I'd be up for that if other people agree.

Johnny50 · 27-05-2008, 20:22

Who cares about everyone else...

Right folks...how does Fort William & surrounding areas sound ??

skodagirl1985 · 27-05-2008, 21:59

Never been there before. Nice up there.
I know Arron is good for camping.

Dmac1969 · 27-05-2008, 22:12

The Grog and Gruel in Ft Bill high street is a good place to get pished lol

Skodaboy1983 · 27-05-2008, 22:21

Johnny50 · 28-05-2008, 09:00

So, regardless of where we go..

When is best for everyone ?
End of July ?

Glider · 28-05-2008, 09:07

Mid August for me, and would prefer east coast FW would be a nightmare at that time with midges. Blairgowrie way ?

Johnny50 · 28-05-2008, 09:12

Blairgowrie aint east coast ??

Forgot about the midgies...

Open to all suggestions though...aint up to me !

MudPuppy · 28-05-2008, 09:44

I'm glad someone mentioned midges!

I can only do the 2nd weekend in August but end of July would be OK too.
