Hi all,

I've been asked by a couple of folk if we are having another Briskoda Scottish Region Camping trip and I'm happy to sort out another one for say middle of August as there seems to be a lot happening in the world of Briskoda ie Camping trip in June, National Day in July, a possible camping trip in July or August, so I thought about the middle of August say say the weekend of the 14th August 2009.

To get some more members along I'm thinking of planning this in the borders so we could invite say the North West Region and the the North East Regions to pop along.

The plan for the weekend would be arrive on the friday, go for a drive on the saturday and grab a bite to eat and then on sunday maybe go for another drive before heading for home.

As said this is a idea so if you have any ideas where we could go, I will look into this later.

Roll on the summer!

Change of title...

I could be up for this, once I beg/borrow/steal (delete as appropriate) a tent.

Cool I'll start a wee list then.

1)Skodaboy1983 & Skodagirl1985

2.) Nokiauk (maybe)

3) MudPuppy (maybe)

I'll put myself down as Maybe as it depends on the date - I can't do that weekend as it's the BTCC (or the one after)

cool no worries I can play around with the date quite fancy it in August or towards the end of July if thhe 31st July to 2nd August suited??

Yep I could probably do that weekend

We could probably do the aug date, as we have the following weekend off... If the weathers nice up North that week, we could be persuaded to do Scotland for the rest of the week, so starting it with a brisky meet could be fun

4) Sharkrider, swmbo, HC (weather permitting )

I can't do that weekend as it's the BTCC

Thanks for reminding me forgot the BTCC was at Knockhill that weekend. A change if date would be handy so I don't have to toss a coin.

How does the end of July date suit everybody?

How does the end of July date suit everybody?

if your thinking of the 31st this currently fine for me, will pencil it in so as to avoid any more clashes

I will be up for this

IThe end of july date suits me I've got a hectic july, with national day, a wedding to attend, holiday but end of july suits me as the following weekend I have another wedding to attend ah to be popular!

so we're saying the 31st July to the 2nd August.

Sounds good to me :hooray:

cool, I will have a look at some campsites tonight and post a few up when I get a chance.

End of july is perfect

I'll have to get back to you on the 31st July... but is a possibility

Link to some campsites in the scottish borders if folks want to have a look

Borders Campsites and Caravan Parks, Camping sites in Borders Page 1

and some for dumfies and Galloway

Dumfries and Galloway Campsites and Caravan Parks, Camping sites in Dumfries and Galloway Page 1, if folk want to peruse though, I'm easy on which campsite but if people wanted to select any they like I can maybe investigate this.

Cheers

Looks like a good bunch of options there will try and get a good look over the new week or so, have you been to any of these previous?

I've not been to any of the sites listed there but I chose the last campsite of this site.

I've put in to get the 31st July off, So I hope to be there enjoyed the last one, bet you lay off the whiskey this time though eh Davey ?

yes indeed Dave, not going to touch a drop.

I don't intend coming but can give you advice on Dumfries and Galloway if you wish. I live in and work around the Castle Douglas(campsite at Parton is nice maybe midges though!) area so can highly reccomend that. In fact I would go so far as to say choose a place to the WEST of Castle Douglas and you won't go far wrong.

PORTPATRICK is highly reccomended. Nice harbour town with a few good pubs/restaurants. Campsite at top of town. Easy driving distance to Mull Of Galloway (Scotlands most Southerly point). Port Logan (location of BBC 2000 Acres of Sky) en route to/from Portpatrick you could visit Bladnoch Distillery and Visitor centre(scotlands most Southerly distillery)

Happy to give some pointers if you want or tell me to mind my own business if I'm interfering.

Cheers
