Brownlee Pond Meet
Venue: Brownlee Pond Near Dalserf, Clydeside.
Meeting Time: 1000 am
Date: Wed 2nd Dec 2009
Meet up point: Car parking at Scottish Water Site
Hi all, ok went and recced the venue as haven't been there before. Its a very small pond/puddle lol with lots of trees surrounding it. Plenty space to get hammocks up or to tent down. Its been used by others as there are remnants of fires and shelters. There is a central point with logs surrounding what has been a fire. Id say that in the warmer months the water would be a haven for the pesky midge as it appears to be stagnant, but will be ok this time of year.
The meeting point is a Scottish Water site access road. From the Garrion Bridge head north east on the A72 keeping the river on your left side. Travel along the A72 for 1 mile and turn left into what appears to be an old fashioned stone gatehouse entrance. Drive over the bridge over river clyde and travel up to where the road forks. There is the Scottish water entrance on your right and a road with signs saying private. Park up there as this is the meeting place. This is the best place for parking so the short walk to the site is a trade off.
The Venue is approx. one and a half miles from that point. It mostly follows the river clyde until the last say 300 yards wen there is a bit of a hill but nothing my granny couldnt do.
The Weather is to be quite cold and during the night may reach -2C so expect to be chilly and take the usual common sense precations.
The aim of the meet is friendship, skill and knowledge sharing, thats all.
Ive no idea what would normally happen regarding food so any suggestions please let me know. Ill be bringing my own rations anyway but assume we will be messing together and
brewing up together.
Im rambling now lol, hey any ideas or sugestions get em in
Any probs gimme a bell or drop me a line.
