Absolutely, I'd be happy to come along to a meet too...I normally go out on my own

If one of you lads organises a meet in west lothian I'm sure some of us a bit further afield would also come along.

We're having a meetup at loch maree in the highlands last weekend of Feb, all are welcome

There's a couple on this thread: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121701

Also a member here who is coming to Scotland in April and fancied a meet. How about we organise something to help accommodate? http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144002

I'm down the road near lockerbie. Do a bit of wildcamping and kayak/canoeing up around the highlands throughout the year. Seems to be a few folk around the area

Hi Kat as you are in Galloway can I ask:~ Southerness holiday park any good for a family Glamp out? The wife is considering it as a summer camp for a few days with me & our 3 boys age 8,10 & 13 my wife wouldn't tolerate "totaly wild camping", she recons she needs toilet & shower facilities as part of her basic needs in order to survive... the monsters wont be a problem as the wife will be with us...

I say Glamping but just to make it clear we do have our own tent & stuff... lots & lots of stuff!

HAha its only about a 15min drive from where i live. I dont want to get in trouble here but I gotta be honest there are much nicer places to go Glamping nearby though i am not sure how they compare price wise. Some families realy like southerness because of its pool and facilities but if you like nature you may be dissapointed. There are others like Barend near Sandyhills, Mossyard, Galloway Activity Centre and Gorsebank looks really rather good.
Dont worry I wont judge you for Glamping.
The boys might love Laggan Outdoor, I know I do!
If you want send me a wee message as I work at a castle in the area in the summer and know it quite well.

cheers Kat. food for thought! glamping for me is just wild camping with toilets & loads of kit, a clearing in the middle of a wood with a toilet block with a fresh water supply nearby would be blis... this is kinda what I had in mind, this was the last time we went tenting, there was virtualy nothing on site for the kids except a play park & even that was a good 10 minutes walk from our tent. Probably closer to mine craft than bush craft?

Family camp @ Redgates in Maidens 16 July 2014

camp kitchen breakfast time looking a bit untidy,

Trangia Mince n taties

the kids are of an age where they get board easily,that was why we were looking at sotherness, so thanx we will take note of your other place sugestions & look them up if we do decide on southerness we could always visit the other places you mentioned for future reference.

Hello and welcome

 

[Highbinder]

Where's everyones usual haunts? Good places for meets?

I've not had much time this year so have been heading to eastern Trossachs. Hit Loch Chon a few times but the area has logging activity in the area just now

 

[tiger stacker]

Trossachs is always good for overnighters, Argyll forrest is dependant on the ferries though...

 

[Dreadhead]

Any chance one of you glasgow lads knows a decent spot in west lothian and could organise a wee meet-up?

 

[tiger stacker]

Not au fait with lothians most weekends working so doubt i can help
