How about a meet up at Wiston lads and lasses?
Gives us the use of toilet facilities and plenty space.
Dependant on their permission of course but I know I'm itching for a wee get together again.

Was thinking of there recently
You know that Lanark medieval festival is on this weekend coming ?
If I park the car with a bit of room beside it and we stretch a tarp out from it we could have a brew up over a long lunchtime there on the Saturday and it would let folks have a rummage around the stalls tooEverything from leather to horn, sharps and shinies to fabric.
If the weather's good it's brilliant, but if we have a bit of cover it's insurance
Wiston's close enough if I need to get home, I'd like a camp out too
cheers,
Mary

I'm down in the shire of England this week coming, so might not be back for Sat or Sun.
Anyhoos, when suits for Wiston?
My anniversary is 18 Sept so I better be at home for that.
But What remains of August suits too,I'm sure there's plenty of space at Wiston we could use even if it was busy.
Sooner the better,even if it means having two or three meets there to accommodate everyone who wants to go,near enough for me too in case of emergencies at home.

Not far from Lanark.Originally Posted by Ian S
They have a website just search for Wiston Lodge.
I pass it when going to Penicuik from here in Ayrshire.
It's at the bottom of Tinto Hill.

If you can get a train from Glasgow to Lanark, then there's a wee bus passes through the village and it's about five minutes walk to the site from there, if it's of any help Scott.

Wiston village, at the foot of Tinto Hill, short trip off the motorway south of Lanark.
http://www.wistonlodge.co.uk/
We don't do the posh do on the lawns, we set up in the woodlands at the edge of the estate and the hill.
It's where Tam and Colin camped out at the New Year in the snow

Ok folks...
I've spoken to Wiston and we can go on the dates stated.
PLEASE NOTE, WE CANNOT HAVE ALCOHOL ON SITE.
This is due to there being vulnerable youngsters also camping,which is Wistons main purpose.
I have no problem with this and tbh could do with a rest from the drink,whereby I might actually make something useful. Lol
Fees are £6 pp per night, which is the same price as a couple of years ago.
They can provide a load of wood for us at £20, which would save us hauling same from the woods.
Hammocking is available too.
If we are all agreed on No alcohol on site, the fees and chipping in for the wood please say so and I'll submit the official booking form to Jonathan at Wiston.
RSVP asap please.
Tom.

I'll just bring the big kettle and the brewbox
If I bring my firebowl and the tripods, etc., it makes things easy.
I've also got a smaller firebowl for Sniper from Russ. If John doesn't make the meet will someone who lives closer to him take it home please so he has a chance at getting it this side of the New Year?
cheers,
M

Sounds good. 2 hours drive up but think I can make it. Yep! Just checked and I'm free so will take the plunge again. If it's ok can I come with either tent or tarp and bivvy.
Will be second meet up so I'll come the Friday since I missed all the fun at Comrie on the Friday night there in June. Obviously no alcohol so possibly no air guitars round the fire early in the morning / late at night.
BTW if anyone wants a lift up from North Lancs / South Cumbria on the Friday afternoon let me know. Got a little estate car that can probably fit another person's gear in too. Just need to get some new gear for it now.

Nice one Paul.
Tent, tarp,b ivy, or hammock, there's a place for any of them.
Don't need alcohol to enjoy some air guitar, I'll perform if the tunes good.

Remember we have use of toilet and shower facilities if there are any partners who wish to come but aren't used to roughing it.
