I've ordered myself one of the "All New DD Travel Hammock with the All New DD Tarp". Nick from DD Hammocks say's there much longer than the old ones I'm 6'3". Should be here Tuesday or Wednesday, so i'll be bringing it along. I've never put up a hammock or slept in one before so any advice would be much appreciated (Will i be warm enough?) Looking forward to the meet.
New Year meet in Scotland
- Thread starter Graham_S
- Start date
as long as you have a mat to put under you (or an underblanket 
) and a decent sleeping bag you should be fine.
don't forget tent pegs, the ground can be quite hard at achray so carved wood can have difficulty.

Sorry guys but it's looking like I can't make this one.
I was hopeing for a later meet so I could try out the canoe but at this date I've just got too many family commitments.
Have a good time everyone and I hope you all have a good Yule too.

PS Wayland, sorry to hear your not able to make it - with darkness by 3.30pm the improvised lanterns will be well needed this year again lol!

Where are you all going to be? I am not sure where we are going just now, but I am hoping to get over from the 31 onwards.

off the top of my head you need to add Warthog1981, Doc and myself but there are probably others.
Cost is the princely sum of £0.75 per night. Bring your own food and drink although there usually seems to be a surplus.
ill be there the 27th 28th 29th and 30th ill have my wee shovel as always if anyones there before me keep my normal spot 
When you get to the out gate of the forestry, dump the car and walk down to get the key. It's a nice wee walkRyan Woods said:
.Think I'll travel light for this one
. Put in up the head of the loch and paddle over. Night-time navigation is so easy at Achray, just aim for the laughter

Actually what we are now planning on doing is having the key to the gate chained to the gate post with a combination lock. If you PM me I will send you a note of the combination so you can release the key and open the gate.
Obviously you need to lock the key back up again so it cannot be used.
And for those who were there the last time the combination will be the same as before

Hi all,i know i said i was easy about the dates,which i am, but my boss does'nt agree, so i won't be able to make it i'm affraid due to work. I think i'm gonna have to give up this work nonsense,as it just gets in the way of hammocking time!
thought I better join this thread. Was trying to make this meet but my wife has organised a busy social callander so I only have one day over the hols when nothing is arranged. Will try to make an appearence on the 28th for the day, just to meet with old friends and new.
Stuartf it's a shame you can't make it, but at least I wont have to organise a fancy meal to taunt you with.
Cheers

i was just looking at a web site and it said no shore fishing, only fly fishing from boats. Is this right or is it ok to bring a rod with me?
