I was going to say wellcome but with nearly 300 posts, you have been around much longer than myself. I am based near Falkirk and would be happy to meet up with other local folk. I am in a similar situation to yourself, I have little experiance but enough kit to be getting on with. I have a car...

We stayed there last year. Would be happy to return and lend a hand to the project (assuming any issues with the local land owners are settled)
