Hi everyone. We were talking a while back about the possibility of hitting Scotland for a Meet-Up in December.
Unfortunately the timing's not looking good for me, not least because I may not be in the country at the time - always a drawback - plus Scottish conditions are so fickle this early in the season that there's every chance of going all the way up to Fort Bill and being rained on for two days. And of course if we have a pre-arranged date, it's hard to change it.
That's not to say that people can't go under their own steam anyway. Of course you'll not get to see my new hat or people doing handstands in the wind, but both experiences are over-rated anyway.
What I propose is that we pick out a venue and date for early next year, possibly the Lakes - Wasdale? - or maybe the Dales for say, January or February.
On the Scottish front, I'm open to the idea of mabe fixing on a weekend in, say, March, when conditions are likely to me more stable (viz - there might be some snow) and look at getting a bunkhouse for a long weekend to make the long journey oop north.
What do you all reckon? Like I said, people can obviously arrange a Scottish weekend earlier if they want to, which is, after all, what the forum's all about.
Jon
