Final roll call please for those wishing to attend so I can contact the Campsite to have a space set aside for us on the above mentioned dates.
All enthusiasts welcome

Yippee! Not far away, now!!

Van plus large tunnel tent - no hookup. We'll be 2+1 with dog.

We'd like to arrive on the 19th, though, so 3 nights stay if possible.

Blimey we are going to need a different pitch from last year if you are going to bring all that stuff Matt. Where they plonked us last year there was not enough room to swing a cat, never mind a large tunnel tent.

Backup plan - sleep in the yurt. (Feet will be poking out by a foot, though... :()

No - wait... hold on. I think I might have a campervan somewhere... I'll see if I can dig it out! :lol: :lol: :roll:

Is that a type of VW then? :D

Sounds like with quite a few vans we may be spread out a bit anyway, if my memory of the site is correct.... the hard standing kind of meanders around the site. Looks like we may be late (as ever) away from Glasgow :roll: , so you won't have to guard your pitch........ but will do our best to get away early........

I only just learned how to use a forum, so hope this works. Please add another to the Red Squirrel weekend. One Bongo, one person and one dog for the Sat night. Chris

Keira has made the finals of the Scottish Schools climbing comp in Glasgow, so just the Saturday night for us. May be a bit late up, depending on how long it takes at the comp, so will just have to take a chance on getting a space. look forward to seeing you all.

Cheers

David.

Friday and Saturday nights for me, hope to arrive mid afternoon on Friday before the midges get up. :twisted: Still got the Bongo, could be my last trip in it. :cry: :cry: :cry: . Don't worry I will still be around one way or another. :D :D :D

Will bring my boots with me so may get a bit of walking in this time if I am not tempted with another sea food restaurant.

Red squirrel are not answering emails or telephone as they say they have plenty of space, so can first one there please ask for space to be set aside. I am sure they will as we did this before.
