Shouldn't be a problem. I will email Stuart about extending the booking although having seen how much food you brought for two days I wonder if there is enough room on the site for you coming for an extended stay :)

hmmm, a warthog would be good but only the 4 legged variety. as for whisky, i just got a belated birthday present from my brother of a 15 y/o dalwhinnie. dunno if it will last 'till october though. in fact, it might not last the week.

also, it aint exactly bushcrafty but i got a pair of projumps recently (you know those springy stilts as appeared on the zurich advert) and would love to take them. is there any sort of solid smooth surface at the achray site?

oooooooo I'd like to go, but I need to make sure I can buy a couple things I'm in dire need of first... oh well, fingers crossed...

PS: If I am able to go, would I be able to hitch a ride with anyone? :eek: I'm in West Lothian but can easily get a bus to Glasgow or a train to Edinburgh...

PPS: What's the weather generally like there? Ie... tarp & hammock or tent? :rolleyes:

I'm actually in need of a... tarp and hammock! :rolleyes: lol
I've never tried using them before, I've only used a tent, but some kind soul messed up my tent quite recently :eek:
I've seen both tarps and hammocks go quite cheap on ebay, I should be able to pick one of each up within a few weeks and if they don't work out, at least I'll know what to look for in the next set :)

Could anyone recommend a size for a tarp? I saw one at a good price sized 6 ft x 8 ft... would it do or should I try for something bigger?
