Campsites near Pitlochry...

The A85 past Loch Earn...

The Sma Glen...

Glenshee...

The Lecht....



...These are the things you are looking for!

Scotland is a huge tourist hot spot.

one of the largest problems that face us when organising the GM is location and availability. one of my main locations i had in mind is booked out till 2014.

if we want prime locations with the facility's then we are going to have to start looking at organising these events years in advance. so until the time where we start making a commitment towards the GM's organisation then i'm afraid that we are just going to have to put up with the dregs of accommodation that are available.

as i said i have a few locations in mind but whether they are booked out or not is another matter all together.

Like i tried to say earlier but probably didnt. There can be a desire or pressure to over organise these things.
Route, field, pub(optional) anything else is a bonus. If someone is unwilling to come because the accomodation doesnt meet their standards then its up to them to find suitable accomodation in the area. A list of options may be provided but not necessarily.

The last rally i went to was a grass field next to a social hall, one public toilet and a nearby river. it was great.

I'd really like to try and make another of these I thoroughly enjoyed the one and only GM I went to.

I will keep an eye on the thread and look out for dates.

Keeping an eye in here.

Bib what area of Scotland you thinking of basing from if you did it?

[Bibio]

one is in Glencoe and the other is near Blairgowrie. it could even be a repeat of last year but a different ride out.

if anyone has anywhere in mind then by all means step forward.

Invade Haddington to the South?

[JamesMio]

I'd be up for chucking together something further South - the only snag(s) for rideouts around here are:

a) The so-called stigma of it 'not being in the highlands and therefore doesn't really count' nonsense, &

b) If folks DO want to go further afield, there's that horrible skittery grey hours ride through the motorways of the central belt (pretty much unavoidable).

c) The roads here are very, very good - but the ones further north are better.
