When and
Where
Map.
Saturday 9th
June ...The area chosen is Loch Lomond, possibly the most popular
tourist area in Scotland, and with justification. The location is a
campsite, which is on the “West Highland Way”, offers camping and
B/B facilities; a bar and restaurant and more permanent shelter in
the form of “Wigwams “ for those who might wish to avoid camping in
a tent.
There are
loads of local sites for touring caravans, and ample B/B / Hotel
facilities along the length of the loch.
There will be
new caches released for the event, and there are many challenging
and rewarding caches to be sought locally.
Format will
be F.F.B's F.B on Friday evening (+ keepsakes for the 1st 12
children to arrive) , an opportunity to seek out old and new caches
on Saturday, and finally the chance to socialise and share a meal
at the BeinGlas campsite restaurant. (with after dinner events,
including moving travelbugs)
Sunday would
be free to mop up any unfound caches , or perhaps an opportunity
for a group event.
Update..... Para Handy ( aka Ninja Pete) may be offering free
transport to this cache:-
Uglaswim
A golden opportunity to get that annoying wee red flag off your
memory map ...
Ps If you want to get back you'll need to make a donation to Billy
Twiggers charity...oops
Update 2
Gilj will be making their Dingy available on Saturday...for the
DIY sailors .....
Yes, as
you’ve guessed , this is a provisional event sheet. The details
will be added later, however accommodation in the area does become
“strained” during the summer, and delaying making accommodation
arrangements could spoil your enjoyment, so its better to post the
event sooner than later.
