Northern Chapter Meet 2015 - Fri 19th - Sun 21st June

Excellent sunny! The more the merrier

Booked it

And have now received my booking confirmation.

Guys, help! Which type of pitch do i need to book to be together with our gang?

NPs - I included a note in the comments bit of the form to tell them we're part of the Brazilian group.

OK, just went for the first option and I hope they will know what to do with that ;-). Request sent!

Brilliant. It'll be great to see you guys again.

Same here! Really looking forward to it!

Shall we start thinking about organising mini Highland Games??? Who's up for that?

North Poles, did you manage to get booked for Eskdale?

Booking made

Booking request sent, only for Friday to Sunday at present. We might extend, dependent on whether we arrange to stop over on the way there or back.

Not yet, I was thinking about taking time off at the end of Tytus' school holidays but situation with work is not clear yet. Not sure if they have any places left, I will try to check today. We often tend to do things last minute unfortunately, that is why we never managed to get there in the past years...

Does anyone have any thoughts on arrival time on Friday and departure on Sunday? We are wondering whether to book Thursday night and/or Sunday night, or stop over on the way there or back. It's about 250 miles for us, and I imagine that most will have a similar length of journey.

We might travel part way on the Thursday and then finish the journey off on Friday to get there late morning. We're leaving on Sunday morning to travel to Loch Lomond to see Penny & Tony.

We're having a couple of days there then on to Arran for the rest fo the week including a sailing day with my business partner.

Over 400 miles for me. I imagine I'll be there late Fri, as I can't leave until after dropping off my girls at school, though I'm staying Sunday night and travelling south again Monday.

Skytiger (Booked)

DazDub (Booked)

It would be useful if you could confirm whether you're coming and if you've booked yet so we can keep an eye on numbers.

Booked fri sat and sun

That's great DazDub.

I am thinking for our Sunday drive we could go to the Falkirk Wheel and/or the Kelpies they are about 30mins away from the campsite.

You can go on a boat trip and travel on the wheel if you want, lots of parking aswell


The Kelpies are part of the Helix project and are a great attraction, great walks for dogs and kids with bikes or scooters really flat.

That would be great. I was only reading about the Kelpies yesterday. I've seen them from the main road but not close up.

There is also a distillery nearby aswell Deanston Distillery


So we get some whisky go round and round on a wheel and end up between two horses heads sounds like a northern meet to me
