Loch Achray meet 23rd -26th June 2006

[gregorach]

Yeah, I'd be up for a repeat!

 

[stuart f]

September sounds fine.

 

[MagiKelly]

I'm looking into use of a site at Loch Ard so we will see how that goes as well.

 

[Doc]

Sounds good, John. The Forestry Commission have a lot of nice places and it could be good to try an alternate site. It is near to Achray so should be similarly convenient. Were you planning a recce?

BTW, I owe you camping fees for the Achray meeet. I would have paypaled it but figured you might send me a hammock or something by mistake.

Might have a look this Sunday, are you coming

Even group buy hammocks are not that cheap.

I think I've negotiated some 'paddling leave' and will be there with Ross, but will have to peel off and head home at lunchtime. Don't know where the FC campsite is though.


There is a rumour going round that the Indonesian government have appointed you Minister for Commerce, having singlehandedly trebled their hammock exports.

I'll bring the shekels on Sunday.

There is not a FC camp site but they do own the land. We are going to have a look and see if there is a site we like

Might see you on Saturday too. I am meeting Warthog at the Game Fair and JamesOConnor should be there too.

 

[jamesoconnor]

im going to the gamefair on sunday i'm afraid.

 

[morch]

I've obviously missed something, or i'm just thick, but which game fair?

 

[Eric_Methven]

The gamefair at Scone Palace, Perth this weekend.

[jamesoconnor]

its brilliant. lots of stalls to waste your money on!!

 

[MagiKelly]

A lot has already been said about the meet so I will let the pictures do most of the talking.



I think it is clear that Russell (Warthog) will be getting a canoe.

and Andrew will be not far behind. (seen hear talking to Maggie)

A general chat with Graham and Katy taking no chances.

You can tell there are bushcrafters about from the hammocks and tarps.

More chat. Graham and Katy still taking no chances.

A view of the site from the Loch.

Allan Ramsay had a try of the Prospector with the sail rig. Honestly it really is hard work

Allan and Maggie exploring the river.

Stuart and Carol Anne looking like they do this all the time (which they don't)

Zippy gets to go solo for a change.

 

[Graham_S]

i maintain that the 8 quid i spent on that head net was the best money i have ever spent on an item of bushcraft gear.

also, i may be at the game fair on sunday

 

[Bowser]

I'm also heading up to the game fair - I can picture a few of you guys from the 2005 meetup so I'll try to say hello if I recognise anyone.
