Loch Achray Meet 18-21 September

[wanderinstar]

As I have to return Docs canoe to him I thought I would make a long weekend of it. ~So with Magikellys help have booked a site on Loch Achray. It is Forestry Commision land and the site will be right next to the loch.
I went up there on one of Johns meets and had a great time. There are no facilities at all, no toilets, no showers but if I recall there is water laid on. (is that correct John?) The cost is a massive 75p per night.
There are no activities planned, just a chill out weekend. Plenty of conoeing and plenty of nattering.

Tis is alink to SoTP thread. http://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=18255

Just replied over there Ian but I'll put me down on here too.

I'll be there depending on brownie points.

September's so far away it's hard to say without casting bones but there's a very good chance I'll see you there.
Looking forward to it.

There's no water supply, no facilities at all - just as it should be. There's plenty of water in the loch.

We haven't had an Achray meet in ages... I'd hope to make it.

 

[scrogger]

I would like to come along on this please. It is a long time off but should be able to make it no problems. Do I need to reply on SOTP aswell?

 

[JohnC]

Nope

as said no water and no facilities. just good company and a relaxing atmosphere.

 

[scrogger]

That'll do me, I can bring a water filter msr type job if that helps or will a good rolling boil suffice, not sure on the geography of Achray so will water be ok? Failing that ill chuck in some from home in a jerry can.

 

[MagiKelly]

Usually people have brought more than enough to use but boiling from the loch should be fine. Apart from the webbed feet and twitch it has never done me any harm.

hmm opinion varies on this, side effects include a canadian canoe fixation, you have been warned!
