Wiston Lodge Lanark

[Barn Owl]

How about a meet up at Wiston lads and lasses?

Gives us the use of toilet facilities and plenty space.

Dependant on their permission of course but I know I'm itching for a wee get together again.

Discuss?

Nath n I would be up for that, when ever you want for as long as you want

Was thinking of there recently

You know that Lanark medieval festival is on this weekend coming ?
If I park the car with a bit of room beside it and we stretch a tarp out from it we could have a brew up over a long lunchtime there on the Saturday and it would let folks have a rummage around the stalls too Everything from leather to horn, sharps and shinies to fabric.
If the weather's good it's brilliant, but if we have a bit of cover it's insurance

Wiston's close enough if I need to get home, I'd like a camp out too

cheers,
Mary

I'm down in the shire of England this week coming, so might not be back for Sat or Sun.

Anyhoos, when suits for Wiston?

My anniversary is 18 Sept so I better be at home for that.

But What remains of August suits too,I'm sure there's plenty of space at Wiston we could use even if it was busy.

Sooner the better,even if it means having two or three meets there to accommodate everyone who wants to go,near enough for me too in case of emergencies at home.

 

[morch]

Nathan can't make August but any time afterwards is fine by us

Not far from Lanark.

They have a website just search for Wiston Lodge.

I pass it when going to Penicuik from here in Ayrshire.

It's at the bottom of Tinto Hill.

iwill provicinally book the 9 to the 11 and what will it cost for the weekend

 

[Toddy]

If you can get a train from Glasgow to Lanark, then there's a wee bus passes through the village and it's about five minutes walk to the site from there, if it's of any help Scott.

cheers,
Toddy

 

[scottforsythe1]

[JAG009]

My next question Tam is where is Wiston lodge?

Jason

 

[Toddy]

Wiston village, at the foot of Tinto Hill, short trip off the motorway south of Lanark.

We don't do the posh do on the lawns, we set up in the woodlands at the edge of the estate and the hill.
It's where Tam and Colin camped out at the New Year in the snow

cheers,
