Anyone up for a UK diyAudio Meet?

[AndrewT]

Hi,
can we take a poll for takers between Dunnet head (north of John O'groats) and Mull of Galloway or should that be Lamberton (to exclude any location on the wrong side of the Border)?
Oh heck! let's include the Norsemen on the islands if they want to partake.

I wonder if that Mac could put one off ever re-visiting the mountains?

Hehe, perhaps it sounds harder than it is. I reached the summit of three - Ben McDuie (sp?), Ben Lawes and Cairn Gorm (not much snow for a ski resort lol). But only one (Ben Lawes) involved 1000m of actual ascent. My knee hurt at the end of day two :-|

I'll definately be back to Scotland for more. You do have good mountains.

Just let's not talk about the unheated curry house or pub in Pitlochry.

Hi,
I live on what seems to be one (a pygmy version), we had snow last night and again this afternoon. (I'm typing this at 1030feet AOD). Yes, that's higher than the M6 going through the Lake district!
On a clear day I can see Ben Cleuch from my front door ( about 45miles)

Does Lawes have an "r" in it?

Actually Al,

after 4 weeks on the Highland route i would have comitted homocide for either a psychiater or McDonalds.

One realises to have picked the wrong partner for such an endeavour when you start talking to 80lbs of backpack, stuffed with muesli and freeze dried rations, because the Scottish mountain buddy is a nut who is busy writing his memoires all day.
The bloke wrote lengthy pages each day in his book on how well his brekky of muesli and water tasted, the same story all over every evening for the freeze dry and water ration dinner.

(i recollect getting drunk on Lothian road and Princess street afterwards, loosing the SCO-NL darts match, before jumping an Edinburgh punk lass. The lady had a B/F in jail, but she carried a smashing P&T collection. You're welcome to call me Eddie Hitler.)

I guess that any overseas visitors who make the trip will be welcomed.

A UK meet sounds a great idea.

I sounds like agreeing what equipment sounds like might be a piece of cake compared to agreeing upon where a " central location" for the meet" might be.

Does central mean central to the UK? At the moment it seems to have a bias towards central Scotland or even central Scottish highlands - although that region does have great countryside.

One advantage of being a little further south is that it does get a little warmer the further south you go!
