Last year Bazman organised a Scottish event in Strontian which a good number went to it. This year big gatherings haven't been allowed but, hopefully, next year we'll be back. It was decided to alternate between two great places - Strontian and Portsoy so the plan for 2021 is Portsoy.
It's a great wee seaside town on the Moray coast, an area many folk don't know anything about. It's got some great wee roads, lots of distilleries, beaches, fish - and in Portsoy a campsite right on the beach.
There is camping, hook ups for vans and a recently renovated hostel. There's a great wee pub on the old harbour, 5 minutes walk away from the campsite as well as a chip shop, Chinese, Co-op, etc.

I'll ask the campsite to set an area aside for us, depending how many folk plan to appear. For folk wanting a bed or room in the hostel or a local BnB, make your own bookings and let us know you're coming.
So, get your maps out and see the possibilities for ways there and where you could carry on to.
Interested?
The original plan was to go on the 17th but the Brownies have booked the whole hostel that weekend so they asked if we can come the weekend before so it's the 10th to the 12th.
The hostel is currently blocked off for us so it shows full online, if you want to book, phone and mention UKGSER. If you want to camp, post it on here. If you want a hook up, phone the campsite.
