Would like to make it longer but commitments at christmas means i can probably only make it for the day.
I would however like to make it a regular thing, it would be great if we could organise a regular meet up at different locations around Scotland, say one every month or two.

All of the above. One a month would be good for a day meet up, an over nighter every so often and maybe a weekend or longer twice a year. All subject to numbers.
We need to get a meet in scotland, goes without saying. Not everything revolves around England :P
Scotland is a great place to practice bushcraft there are so many beautiful places to visit.
I would be up for a few overnighters throughout the year and a regular monthly meetup for a day to learn new skills from each other.

Some times finding a suitable location that you have permission to camp on, light fires and collect wood from can be difficult though, so it might be an idea that we each find a location and get consent from the landowner to practice our activities in advance and just notify them of the date that we would be using the site.

It is not really the problem you think it may be. Due to Scotland's new land access rules you can carry out Bushcraft activities pretty much anywhere even without the landowners permission. I would never advise such a thing but it does mean that areas such as Loch lomond can be used without any problem. And it should be noted that the rights confered under the new rules includes lighting fires. It even allows for commercial ventures as long as it is carrying out something that people would do themselves non commercially, such as photography, hill walking instruction etc.

Oh i didnt realise that.
Right we need to get this sorted. What about meeting on the 3rd of january as it seems everyone is free that day ....hope i havent missed anyone out.......
Location - what about Tarbet at the junction with the old loch lomond road and the arrochar road there is that place where the petrol station used to be, from there we can make a choice of where to go.
Time - what about 9am.
Hope i am not being too forward in organising all this but i think it would be great to all get together and once we have this first one on the go it should be alot easier to get something happening every month.
Hope this is good for most

For easy of reference can we keep all replies about the actual meeting planned for the holiday period on the Scottish Meeting thread. That way it will not get too confusing.
