Anyone camping next Friday night at the mart?
« on: September 20, 2013, 08:48:00 pm »
As it is a good hour and a half to drive across from here to Lanark, I was hoping to come over on Friday late afternoon get the goats settled in, and sleep in the van with the girls. Anyone else doing this, as I wouldn't want to stay there completely on my own...???

Alex and I are staying, and Avril Garrett as well.


Not sure who else, but I know Brucklay was thinking about it?

We're in the equestrian hotel across the road - hope that doesn't mean we're sleeping in loose boxes  :)

I just hope it's not going to be too cold yet...

I'm going to sleep in my nice cosy bed then potter across the 11 miles to get there in the morning  :stir:
Sorry - that's cruel  ;D   I hope it's not too cold  :cold:

Yes - I'm either tent or car camping - can't see me arriving before 9.00 - that hotel may have a busy bar before bedtime!!

We're going for luxury and taking the caravan. Still worried about it being cold though! And slightly concerned I might not fit everything in that I need to bring....

Don't want to alarm anyone but have you not herd of the Lanark three headed tup that haunts the market of a night  a most alarming sight and very strange noises  :excited: :roflanim: :excited:
