I'll try to attend. I don't know under what conditions yet. What are the exact days? Is it Friday all day to Sunday?

You taking the tin tent John, might give mine a shakedown cruise :)

Ringing a note of caution here.... LR & Tent outfits will be fine but the access to our place is over a narrow hump-backed stone bridge with a sharp bend to get on it. Johns beastie has been over that bridge in the past but its a squeeze......I'd advise against trying to bring a big modern caravan over it.....its a listed grade 2 structure and I don't fancy having to explain to Hysterical Scotland how it came to have a Typhoon Super Executive Cruiser Delux wedged in it....   ;).

Speaking from experiance it is very tight when i towed Genes 110 away with a A frame using my disco it was very very tight!!!!!

I am working this weekend and wouldnt be able to make it until about 2 on the saturday. rest of the clan still pending been working funily enough on the same 110 as mentioned so havent had time to put my tuppence worth in but sounds great fun as was the last one. And rest assured i will have the appropriat footwear this time or at least a spare pair of slipper!!!! ;D

Will i be to late on saturday?? Thought i would ask before i get the clan all geared up to go!!

Off to france this saturday so if you could let me Know i will let the rest of family know

Gene,

Thanks for the heads up on the access, the tin tent can stay in its garage for a wee while longer, at 7 metres and with a 110 steering lock I feel like I need Hampdem Park to turn at times.

It will be the real tent but not the three bedroom detached bungalow that some folks need ;) ;).

Bill, hope the hols go well :).

Glad to see that Black 10 and his wing lady can manage hope you all enjoy France and remember to tie everything down :D :D :D

Would not like to here that part of the "bungalow" was blown away down the M6  ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hope you managed to get the inner walls "rebuilt" before going to France ...enjoy and hear all about it round a nice glowing slippery camp fire ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Looks like our fun weekend is going to be well supported.

Does anyone have a really large BBQ so that we can all dine together.

As our host is allowing us to camp gratis,can I suggest we all donate at least a ?5 to the help for heroes charity?

Can always get the grills for the fire if the BBQ is not forthcoming, let me know. Oh and if someone is bring a bow saw can they put a new blade in it, young Bill near died of exhaustion cutting wood last time :) :).

On a logistics POV whats the best idea with re-fuelling at least this time its only 50 miles from home and I dont expect an issue but some of the flight might have further to travel.

Nearest 24 hr fuel is Stirling. Nearest daytime fuel is as you enter Callander, 8 miles from me. I think they close at 8pm this time of year.
