A chance to do some stock-proofing from a distance! They haven't met lambs yet.... they're good with horses and cows, the elder one is okay with sheep but sheep are rarely ok with dogs...The joys of raising puppies.
Thanks for the warning.

Sorted - that's the theme for this meet: stock fence. If we end up to the left of the stepping stones, there's a fallen tree that'll form a nice starter wall. Or, if the weather doesn't settle, a windbreak.
It'll have to be a very good stock fence to stop a whippet who can jump 6 feet high with no problem!
I was relying on teaching the dogs that sheep and lambs are not lawful prey, it seems like less hard labour somehow.
Windbreak sounds good though.
Hi Craig Jezza here (friend of Scrumps and Susan). I am looking forward to meeting you guys next weekend. I am coming along with Scrumps and Susan on Friday and staying until Sunday. I have been busy with work and life and I have missed all the chat about food and communal meals. I am happy to bring any food you need or I could just bring what I think is right. Can you give me any ideas? Also, is there a water source near by or do we have to bring it with us?
Hi Jeremy The group meals are sorted but i know that cakes and the like go down well with the folks coming. Im not sure about water, we are checking the site out tomorrow and will put up details when we know.
Hey mate itll be good to have you along, like Chaz said the group meals are sorted but feel free to bring anything if you want to, though it is not required. As for water im not sure but I think its more than likley that we will have to take our own. Ill put up some details when I get back tomorrow.
all the best
Craig
Directions
This is a link to google maps, the car park for the site is at point B on the map

Picture of junction
When you get to Den woods our camp will be just a short walk down the path at the RED arrow on this pic
There is a small burn in the wood that can be used for water but it will need to be boiled before drinking as it is fed from field drains.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend

Yep the junction has a sign " Balgove" pointing right. Keep following the track all the way. You will pass a few farms and houses just keep following the road untill you come to the woods on your left.
We have the kind permission from the farmer near by to use his farm to park a few cars. So dont worry if there are no spaces in the lay by bit.

Also if you arrive and theres nobody at the car park just go through the gate and follow keep following the trail path for a minute or two and you will come across our site. The chute will be up so you cant miss it.
If anybody needs further directions let me know Today and I will get it sorted asap.

There's no such thing as bad weather, there's only inappropriate clothing.
And hurricanes. And earthquakes.
Now that I think about it, I don't remember there being a 'tsunami' range in Milletts, either.
Happily, neither myself nor the meet is in Inverurie. I'll be rocking up at about half 5 this afternoon.
View from my hammock this morning. Cool last night, Hail early this morning which seems reluctant to melt....
