Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Ok Guys,
Here's the situation so far:
Location - Plean Country Park (mixed woodland outside Stirling) with 2 dates.
1. 3rd - 8th Jan
2. 28 - 29th Jan
I'm just off the phone with the ranger who will show me next week some suitable spots we can use. He has a few places in mind for the parachute canopy and group fire with individual hammock and basha areas close by. The ranger will run it by his line manager but doesn't anticipate any problems. He will also provide us with a key for the car park gate (locked after 7pm). When he asked about numbers I said up to 15 which he's happy with.
He will also inform me ref insurance arrangements as there may be a concern if one of us injures ourselves then claiming against stirling council - I will feedback what he tells me!
So, for those willing could I have an expression of interest and your preferred dates within the 3rd to 8th - no point picking a random date if no one can make it. Let me know and we go with the most popular dates - simple! I will post an update after my meet with the ranger.
Cheers,
Craig.

Nice one Craig. I've been to Plean before - interesting place.
Either date ok for me.
I'm meeting someone next month about a possible, fairly remote, Perthshire location - if it comes off I'll let you all know.

You will get 15 if it is not a very suitable date. If it is a suitable date numbers could be 30 - 40
Thanks guys for the interest so far.
Will post an update next week after I've met the ranger.
Doc - hope you get the go ahead for your Perthshire venue, sounds interesting!

Scotty suggested we might be able to shoot on the farm. We're going to have a look at the bottom field to see if it's feasable. He's pally with the surrounding landowners in case we need a bit of extra space.
Not sure yet, just mentioning it because it's only a mile downstream from the woods that Toddy is looking into and might offer somewhere have a play at that kind of thing during a fair sized meet
.On a similar theme
, theoreticaly we could legaly take a bunch of air rifles and go on a bunny hunt at a meet, couldn't we? A bit of skinning and hide preparation would be good to see and it'd fill a pot.
Please count me in. Any Jan dates look good.
Brill work. It will be a great start to the year. Any weather forecasts?

gregorach said:Sure - it will be cold and dark, with a high probability of rain, sleet, snow or hail.
I moved up here from Manchester 2.5 years ago.
Can I just point out that there's less precipitation where I now live?
OK, it is a fair bit breezier, and a bit colder.

Hi All,
Just back from my meet and recce with the ranger for our january location at Plean near Stirling. Couldnt get any pics of the site due to the snow so will go back next week!
Dates are:
1. 03/01/06 & 04/01/06
2. 28/01/06 & 29/01/06.
Location:
OS 1:50k Sheet 57 Stirling & The Trossachs
Access Gate: GR82498595 Bivvy Area: GR82568592
General Info:
There is a hard standing about 80 metres from the access point (a gate we will have the key for) which should accommodate about 10 vehicles. Water will need to be brought in and Alan (the ranger) will provide a shed load of logs for the group fire. He will pop down to meet us for a brew and a chat. The site is ok for an overnighter and there are a few surrounding features we can recce too.
Insurance:
Stirling Council will take no responsibility for claims. Alan advised to have your own if your worried about taking your hand off with your SFA!
Group size:
Due to site size it can't be more than 20. So first 20 names to me books your slot!
So all you need to do is confirm and see you then!
Regards,
Craig.

Put me down for the 3rd,possibly with one son, if kids are ok. Will have to either make it a day visit or leave very early in the morn as I will have to work on the 4th, and after four days of NHS24 cover, it is going to be hell
