Title: J.O. Five - the planning stages....
Post by: hotel21 on 12 November 2007, 11:22:22: OK, following on from yesterdays 14 car blether in a carpark, suggestions were requested for another place to have another meet, preferably with overnight accomodation.... Knowing its heading fast for wintertime and we would prefer overnight accomodation at cheap (free-ish) rates, I may have the possibility of the use of a wooden bothy at THIS (http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/clova/clova/index.html) location. Used it last year with my Scouts and we had a hoot....

Its basically secure inside 'camping' - cook your own, communual kipping in sleeping bags/roll mats on the floor and outside toilets/basic washing facilities. Belongs to local Air Cadet group that would be looking for a donation of sorts for its use. Its pretty much central (Dunkeld area) but is the middle of nowhere, really nice walking territory out towards Jocks Road. Its far enough away from civilisation (but 25 feet from the carpark) that we could make almost as much noise as we wanted without fear of any demon warden evicting us....

For those who prefer more luxurious surroundings, the Clova Hotel is a few miles along the road. It's a really nice place and popular with climbers etc. See reference to climbers bar and drying room etc.

As said, simply one suggestion to promote others..... :y

Post by: Markie on 12 November 2007, 11:26:28: Well.........its a bit too close to home for me. Parents live in Dunkeld ;D

But joking aside sounds excellent, its a stunning area to camp in :y Yes from me - hey i even know how to get there on my own :-[
Title: Re: J.O. Five - the planning stages....
Post by: hotel21 on 12 November 2007, 11:28:39: Bonus is, you do not have to camp unless you want to. Simply pull up a chunk of floor and crash out. Its basically a 2 - 3 car garage sized wooden hut with windows and a couple of calor gas heaters...

Sounds good, i'd be up for that. As long as Jim takes his Barbie. (And i'm talking about the one he cooks food on, not the one he plays with and dresses up) :y

25 Ft seems a bit excessive to be away from the cars though, can't we get them any closer? ;)

Post by: Big Fra on 13 November 2007, 12:50:53: Sounds good to me, unfortunately the breadknife wants to tag along, but surprisingly she is willing to spend the night in a sleeping bag, in a shed, surrounded by smelly guys and smellier farts.

I have conditioned her well, (dutch oven and all that) ;D

I would definately be up for a clova trip/night/weekend and would gladly contribute some of my meagre finances.

Please bear in mind if you are worried about the cold, I work for the worlds biggest drinks manufacturer, therefore I can get rather no bad prices on spirits, so I can bring some along, (for medicinal and cold purposes you understand)

Any who, count me in, I may have a tagalong as well.

Post by: hotel21 on 13 November 2007, 16:46:35: Seems like this may have some posibility of just about almost taking place sometime.........

I'll add a poll to see which month is most popular first, then take it from there....
Title: Re: J.O. Five - the planning stages....
Post by: Big Fra on 13 November 2007, 17:35:37: I dunno when.

I would only vote for them all.

Any weekend at the beginning of any month would be fine for me.

Is it date first, then location?
Title: Re: J.O. Five - the planning stages....
Post by: hotel21 on 13 November 2007, 17:44:44: Date/Location - doesn't really matter either way.... Just trying to keep things on the boil, to be honest...

No probs with partners either, I would suggest. Just be aware that if going for the ATC bothy option then its no showers (or a dook in the burn) and toilets/sinks at the Ranger station. Basic, but not as basic as taking a spade for a walk..... ;D

As a halfway house geordie I will translate Broocies phrase " a dook in the burn ". This means to take advantage of a nearby stream or river to facilitate personal washing when no other alternatives are available.

Well theres a river runs down the glen, (which is good for swimming) theres two bridges, and you have a choice of taking the high or low road to the Clova Hotel (the high road to the left is better :y) , and take the low road on the way back :y, theres also a wee walk up the side of one of the mountains, where you can view eagles rock and lochnagar from, about an hour from the hotel :y, alternatively you can do the 14 mile hike across Jocks road to the pub in Breamar ;D ;D..............or just stay at the Clova [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif]

Post by: Big Fra on 15 November 2007, 22:00:44: Sounds as if there are a few good ideas floating about.

As long as there's omega talk and tinkering, some occasional frivolity and general larking and tomfoolery. Washed down wi' a wee dram or twa.

Looking 4ward to it.

Looks like a fair set of responses to the thread and looks most encouraging.

How about voting as well and give some kind of steer as to what the collective wants to do??

What about Skylarking, surely there's always room for a bit of Skylarking?

B, i've voted for "when its a lot chuffin warmer than above" mainly because me and cold ain't the best of friends. :y

It's also heartening to see that we're up to 3 pages already, and the meet's not till next year. Ahhh, the possibilities.... ;D

If it doesn't have sky, as long as there is a tv and an ariel I'll bring a freeview box.

Skylarking sounds interesting Kev, but a weekend of complete and utter nonsense appeals somewhat as well.

So whats your favourite colour - pink or blue?? ;D

(you like the devil and the deep blue sea type question?) ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: J.O. Five - the planning stages....
Post by: hotel21 on 27 November 2007, 00:26:26: OK.

This hut is not that far from the big wide world but far enough that when its dark, then there are no street lights or anything to disturb the sky. Star spotters paradise.... Its remote, no passing cars, no electricity (other than a genny I can bring) and you have to dump in a tin when you need to go or bring a spade.... Running water is either the tap in the ranger toilets or the stream, if its not frozen. Bed is whatever foam (or air) matress and sleeping bag you brought alongwith a selection of warm clothing.... The views, however, are stupendous and the air as clear as a clear thing......

It can be an absolutetly cracking weekend with a BBQ, central cooking (I am volunteering, if needed....) hillwalking, own entertainment, roughing it type sleeping arrangements, stargazing beyond belief, cheap booze (coz you brought your own) sheep and deer on the hillsides etc.

Just need some folks to say when they want to go, other than wimp out and say 'when its sunny'...... :y

Anywho, as the festivities have ended, I thought I would check on the progression of the J.O meet.

Can anyone give me an update? :y

P.S. Does anyone have an idea as to the difficulty/time to fitting a pas pump? I have no assistance anymore! :-[

Well lads I am afraid I will have to forget all about attending this meet, even if the pies are warmed in an oven. Her indoors has been waiting 4 months to have a bit of skin cancer removed from her nose. She is now entitled to have it done immediately as she has waited so long, guess when the surgery is taking place ? Yep, on that very Sunday. I have asked if I could drop her off at the RVI in Newcastle, come to Callender for lunch and pick her up on the way back, reply cannot be put on here. Sorry, I was looking forward to a ride out as well.

Fords arent too bad, my Meega has been a revelation into the GM family after being a Ford nut for as long as I can remember.

I cant say I am a complete convert, but a 60/40 balance favoured towards Ford is my suit.

It doesn't make me a bad person, I really like Meegas, especially mine, I can't really see myself getting rid of it.

Anywho, wot sort of times are we talking about? Meeting? Convoy?

Cant wait, a nice fish supper sound reet nice! :y

Anywho, wot sort of times are we talking about? Meeting? Convoy?

Cant wait, a nice fish supper sound reet nice! :yary :question

I think we're going for a 2 o'clock meet so 1.15 at the mitchell libary then about 1.30-1.40ish to the services at cumbernauld (shell station) :y
Sounds good to me. :y

I hate MOT fail time!

I got both my rear springs done last year. Well, me and a mate did them. Loosened the strut top bolts, lifted the car, i pulled down on the rear wishbones, my mate pulled the springs out.

And In the words of Sir John Haynes, "refitting is the reversal of removal"!

Both springs were about £30 I think.

Dont worry about the meggy, have you seen my post,

Have a look at my current prediciment?

Just back now (2100 hrs or so) this evening from a few days away to discover my 22 year old has put his car through a severe pothole earlier this evening and damaged both offside rims and tyres and has probable suspension damage as well. Will need to examine car better in the morning and, if needed, go car shopping in a hurry as he needs it for Monday morning.....

His wallet, not mine..... ::)

Sounds fair to me.

So who is taking care of the thread?
