Summer meets - BBQ anyone?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was just thinking after another round of mainly magnificent food at the Brewers Farce last night that maybe in the summer months we could (weather permitting) hold the meets at a nice country park or something where we could setup some portable BBQs and bust out the burgers, sausages and whatever.

Would be a nice relaxed atmosphere, and if we got food poisoning then it would be our own damn fault for a change!

Any thoughts?

St3ph3n, sounds llike a good one. I could recommend Beecraigs Country Park Between Linlithgow and Bathgate would be a grand venue for a BBQ with all the facilities. Excellent Rds en-route too!face-icon-small-happy.gif

Maybe i am wrong but does Blair Drummond safari park not have an area for BBQ's? Was there last year and can vaguely remember people having BBQ's, Might just of been imagining it though!

It has plenty parking areas but can be very, very busy on a summers day.

Plenty things for the kiddies to do too, and the big kids!

Just a thoughtface-icon-small-smile.gif

Was thinking the same thing last night en route home.

There is a wee place up at Loch Katrine ( nice run up to Aberfoyle first ) then continue out along the B829 in the forest ( the road that goes to Inversnaid - nice and quiet ). There is a car Park up there that I doubt would be busy so poss venue for a BBQ.

Well in saying that, it was quite a few years since I've been up that way - dunno if its changed.

Alternatively, there are a few waterside picnic spots with parking up alongside Loch Lomond on the way to Rowardennan

Excellent. I love it when a plan comes together.

I was thinking about Beecraigs and also another one, Polkemmet maybe? Not sure why they were in my head. Fairly central I suppose. For people north of Douglas and South of Perth I mean. I apologise to the Aberdeenshire and taysiders (set phasers to malkay) when I forget to factor you into my "what's central" calculations.

My plan wasn't just for a weekend thing either. The (insert your region here) monthly meets on (insert the evening you host it on here) could be done too. It's hardly rocket science to meet at a supermarket, get some portable BBQs and some MEAT, a packet of Kraft singles and a beverage of your choice and head off into the country.

I don't know about anyone else but I could murder a burnt burger topped with tomato sauce and a kraft cheese slice all on a toasted roll right about now.
