Scotland Meet-Up - Central Central Belt Area - Saturday 26th July

Meetups

@group-scotland

The people have been calling for it so let’s get a meet-up sorted for the Scotland region.

This is high level at the mo to gauge response levels. Once things are locked into a general area then we can decide where to go.

As most of the group are towards the Central Belt, it would be sensible to stick around there. Sorry highlanders and border residents. However it is open to all members who would like to attend.

Please pick a general location from this list and feel free to suggest locations in the comments.

  • West (Glasgow / Trossachs)
  • Central (Stirling / Alloa / Falkirk)
  • East (Edinburgh / Fife)

I would love to do this, but July weekends are looking ridiculously busy :frowning:

Doh, you were one who was asking about a meet. I’m sure there will be another chance to get together.

@colin1 I had to edit the location poll as I only allowed one selection. I’ve fixed it so you can pick as many as you want to.

I know! I am very disappointed. Will try to move things around if I can. If not, it will have to be the next time.

Depending on date and location we may be able to come along, it would be an extremely long day, but it would be worth it to meet up with folks :slight_smile:

I work most weekends but selected a couple of Sundays where I may make it, but may need to be another time for me as July is wedding season.

Ive put down for the 1st weekend in July (5th and 6th) as unfortunatley the other 2 im busy and then back offshore for 3 weeks from the 23rd July put Fife as prefered choice but easy to travel to the other 2.

Not for this one but that’s not to stop anybody else setting up a Highlands meet.

May be a small informal meet-up in the Strathpeffer area on Thursday, weather depending…

@group-scotland The people have spoken and the lure of possibly meeting Suzanne @AlbionDrones is too strong.

Saturday 26th July is the date and the central part of the Central Belt is the area. As we have a bit of time we can work out the actual meeting point.

Suggestions could be -
Stirling for the Wallace Monument or Stirling Castle
Airth for the Pineapple
Clackmannan for the tower
Falkirk for the Wheel or Kelpies
Or a cheeky run into West Fife to Culross

Sadly, going to miss it, having been to the last two meet-ups - I’ll be in San Francisco, finding out if I’m brave enough to try the Golden Gate bridge…
(There is a big “No Drones” sign at the Wallace Monument, btw.)
Best wishes to all.

There is also Grangemouth refinery, although I doubt they’ll have the cloud makers going at the weekend. Also not too far away are Doune Castle and the Sterling Monument. Then you have the bridges at Kincardine and further down the forth there are another 3 slightly more famous ones! The golf ball at Kinross, then all the pretty harbours on Fife coastal route. Quite a lot to choose from and all within easy reach
