well I got out yesterday for an overnight . First time with the new gearand the first time I have been camping in I dont know how long!!.
The tent stood up to a real belt of rain around 4am so that was handy but there was a bit of condensation in the tent But I excpeted worse . My son and his pal got well eaten by midgies (which was real funny watching them trying to outrun them.)
Had a great night and heres a couple of pics.
Cheers

That looked like a real good night Al. Good company and good music. I would imagine there was some good food and drink too? How did the guitars cope with the damp?

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
Aye the food and drink was great .. Its amasing how a bacon butty tastes when cooked over a wood fire init?
LOL The guitars dident realy like the weather 2 snapped E strings and wouldent stay in tune for more than ten munites at a time But they are beaters of Guitars and only used for playing outdoors . Would never take the Takamine camping .

I'm sure I've been there. Is there a white building in the car park? It's a waterfall through a cave place. Think we went there about 4 years ago. Looks like you had a great time.
Aye Ross there is indeed an Info center next to the carpark mate . I remember when I was a kid that building used to be a tea room and had fantastic scones.
Its one of my fave places up the Deeside.
The Vat is where Rob Roy was suposed to have hidden cattle . How the hell he would have got them in there in the first place is beyond me lol.

Yeah, very thin cattle. Lol! A fantastic place. I have many happy memories in Scotland. I love it there.
That looked nice :-)
Reminds me of tghe old days with my mates. My best friend played the guitar and was a good singer too, and all that we needed to get him going was to pour a couple of beers down his neck, and hand him a guitar, and that made the night :-)
