I've got a complain, Jim... Sandra is showing favouritism to Rupert... :)

Every day a schoolday
Sadly we can't make the rally
We have a long weekend trip to Falkirk booked in April though and want to visit the Kelpies too.
Does anyone have other recommendations for what to see and do while we're in the area?
Also - are there any wild camping spots that funsters have used?
Thanks

Hi Sandra -Britstops shows The Falkirk Wheel as having no facilities for filling or dumping.
Do you know if this is true?

Thanks
Robert

There are 3 taps in the top car park for filling water. Black dump down at the bottom block where toilets and showers are.

Martin says "good" and I've put it in the diary.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can this be a meet where we can actually go as promised and not have something happen a day or two beforehand??? Hospitals, family illnesses emergencies and deaths, we've had them all in the last two years!

Sandra could you put us on the reserve list as well. We are in the same boat as Carol and are unsure of where we will be in Scotland that weekend, but would like to drop in if we are close.

Great news. For everyone that wants to do the boat TRIP, we can have it discounted to £8.65 per person:) (Standard rate is normally £12.50. I will get a list going nearer the time as it must be booked in advance for the discount.

Happy FLT since 2011
It's getting pretty scary now, there were only twelve going when we signed up. Now there are dozens!
This our very first rally - be gentle with us we are very shy - with strange people.:worried:

Honestly once you are there you will soon wonder why you were scared. It was @Graham and Jane first rally last year and they are back on the list again this year. Meet will be full at 28 so 3 places left.

Thanks @irnbru - it's just a weekend jaunt leaving Darlo after work on Friday afternoon. Don't really know the area at all - we like food, drink, music, comedy, culture, nature .... Probably easier to say what we don't like ☺️

It will be the first rally where we will be there overnight but we've been to a few as day visitors. Really looking forward to it.

So a good job the new van is delayed or we would have been elsewhere and missed The Wheel!!!!
