Scotland Aviemore or bust (january 2022 17th-21st )

[Matt]

As the title says we plan on returning to Aviemore in mid January 2022

the plan is to drive up over night on the 16th to arrive at Camping in Aviemore, the heart of the Scottish highlands

i have booked a complete section of the park called


The Camping Quarry – Is serviced with 2 electric points and drinking water.

The Quarry is an enclosed bowl, surrounded by trees. It’s a great space for very large tents or for groups camping together in several tents, It’s very popular with scouts, schools and expedition parties too.

ive paid a retainer for the Area mentioned above so the forum members have no need to book


all you need to do is turn up go to the office and pay for your nights stay at £8 per night

stating you are with the party staying in the camping Quarry

if you fancy playing in the snow post up an interest


**** NEEDLESS TO SAY COVID PRECAUTIONS WILL NEED TO ADHERED TO AT ALL TIME INC MASK,S AND HAND SANITISOR *******

Im in mate

 

[Ark79]

I want to be in, but you know me will be there, for how long I’m not sure

 

[Bam]

I'm definitely keen, will need to see if I can talk Smurf into it or get the choo choo up. Doesn't look that far from the metropolis itself so can go 'light' for a couple nights to say hello if Smurf is out (probable).

Cheers Matt, that's a generous offer, I might take you up on that, I'll see how things go. I'll see if I can talk Smurf into sticking his head over the parapet again but if not then muchos grassyarse.

Aye, I'm up for it. Is that a fire pit I see in the photo?

 

[Madriverrob]

Sounds good apart from the 300 mile walk in

Will confirm the situation with fires tomorrow but they already confirmed wood burning stoves OK provided not on the ground.... So I would assume raised fires shouldn't be an issue

Might be worth coordinating this stuff nearer the time and what our options are. I'm sure between us we can tick all the boxes.

Looks perfect just need a few tents with logburning stoves going in the picture

 

[Ark79]

Hopefully that’s the fire pit we can use

Plus a good 6 inches of snow..........fingers crossed

@Matt.....wonder if they sell logs on site Matt.....or if they have a contact we could use for delivery to site we can order from when we get there.

Everybody......... chip in and share the costs for the communal fire pit.

Individuals place orders for personal fire pits if they want to use them.

Would maybe work out a lot cheaper than buying from Tescos....garages etc.......as we know.....they aint cheap in such places

Might be worth an Email or call mate?

 

[Bopdude]

Yep can't hurt to ask.
