Gathering - GringoRojo - 30-09-11
after the last one I said that was enough. the logistics of the supplies is just too much hassle due to the location of the venue. last couple of times I'd wondered about a change of location, so...
if the Gathering in the Glen was to stay alive, which part of Scotland would interest you?
not that I'm offering to carry on as organiser - cos I'd be more than happy for someone else to step forward.

Anywhere without midges. Do it Gringo!

Hows it gaun Gringo? Done a trip to Applecross a few weeks back and it was a cracking trip, would be a good place for a gathering and you probably couldn't get any further away. Campsite was great, heated wigwams were better, pub was magic food was top notch and the ride up was spectacular.
Re: Gathering - GringoRojo - 02-10-11
no bad, hows yersen?
Applecross was one location I'd considered from the very start - distance was the inhibitor for the deep south foccers.
Re: Gathering - dr bong - 02-10-11
I'd go for it, amazing run to Applcross 8)
Re: Gathering - Mousemat - 03-10-11
BUTTTTTTTT Are there any midges?
Re: Gathering - Tefer - 03-10-11
Midges in all of Scotland :rollin
Re: Gathering - GringoRojo - 04-10-11
less midges when you're at the coast Tom (note I didn't say there are none? :lol)
Re: Gathering - HarryHornby - 04-10-11
To beat the midge you need Avon - "Skin so soft" moisturising spray, keeps the midge away and gives you oh so lovely soft and moisturised skin!
Re: Gathering - GringoRojo - 04-10-11
it's been the first thing on the list of supplies for the past three Gatherings
Re: Gathering - bigralphie - 05-10-11
And it dont really work that well ,if were honest .
I dont mind the locat/food /beer setup ,just we need more space than last year as it gets a bit "cabin fever"
Lets storm a castle lol
Re: Gathering - tomjimtom - 06-10-11
Yeah applecross campsite is nice, not too close to the water to attract the flying devils, but close enough for the views
do be careful on the pass though, your pillion might slap you round the helmet (head) shouting about 'going back and taking a picture of that goat'
It wasn't a goat, it was a deer :\ we went back and spent far too long taking identical photos of it
Turning round on that pass = trusting to hope noone's going to come flying round the corners whilst you're doing a 5 point turn in one of the passing places :lol
Re: Gathering - Tefer - 06-10-11
Never been to Applecross and new to the forum, so will watch this space for any news on a date, could be interested in joining if nothing on.
Re: Gathering - theboydougie - 06-10-11
I know it's not the highlands, but there must be bunkhouse type set-ups somewhere around the A7?
Could head out to alot of different destinations from there..? Great road to begin with, access to the lakes & Yorks (I know that's England) for the sightseers..East coast runs to Berwick upon tweed for fish & chips, Edinburger for Castle storming, East Fortune for Flight Museum/track day and countless, "off the beaten track, stunning view type roads"
You could even squeeze in a day trip to Ireland for those who like long miles & longer days?? :eek
Re: Gathering - BIG MAC - 11-10-11
How about the Isle of Arran? and Mac the elder does hold a senior post with one of Scotlands largest bakeries...could maybe organise a red cross delivery?
Re: Gathering - mr grimsdale - 13-10-11
Pointless talking about this until we first get someone who is prepared to get it organised ..................................
And no ...I aint offering. :nana
Re: Gathering - GringoRojo - 13-10-11
that would depend where it was Davey. if we picked a campsite with catering facilities like Applecross, or the Loch Broom campsite in Ullapool, or somewhere in Galloway then there'd be virtually no organising to do. just turn up, pitch your tent and off you go.
Re: Gathering - paul.s - 14-10-11
galloway is great cracking roads loch kens nice but no pub on the site
Re: Gathering - BIG MAC - 27-10-11
What about Lochlomondside or Helensburger Gringo anything about there?
