Thanks - I did get my tent from go outdoors in the end. I priced matched with Millets and got an extra 10% off, so I decided to go with a storm proof tent given the forcast for this weekend.

I wont be getting there until late as I have to work until 4pm so ill be there for around 7pm. If anyone has to pass queensferry to get there, please feel free to call into my work to pick up my tent so it is already for when I arrive :)

Colley, do you have the routes mapped out yet?

Also, last time i did happy valley there was a gate sat in about 1/2 foot of water, and the only way to open it was to walk through the water. If anyone has wellies please bring them along as I dont have any!!! :)

Is the weather still looking grim ?

That gates is definetely one for somone else to open.

Ill have a look through my selection. A lot of my routes were created by somone else before they closed a lot of lanes, but I will have a look through.

There is one lane north of Happy Valley which looks open but it is actualy closed with no entrance. Ill have a look at my maps and work out which one it was.

Please note the camp site post code does not take you directly to the camp site. the post code takes you to the B4405. The camp site it self is on the A487 just above the minifordd hotel. Google it before you leave.
