General Panda Camp 2014 Perthshire 14th and 15th of June

I am well jealous! If that's what it takes to lend a hand - I'm there!

I've just realised this morning that my MOT is up the week before this :eek:

4x4 would have been useful. I felt I was letting the side down. All these stories of Giant killing off road Pandas and I beach my variation of the species when doing a 3 point turn.

Just to let everyone know we are good to go on the salvage yard/retro car nirvana. Went out there today and had a good chat with the owner who was a very nice bloke called Douglas. I think he was a little suprised at us wanting to see his cars but hes quite willing. I sold him on the notion that as Panda owners you would be unlikely to act like a bunch of hells angels. Its a fascinating place, I don't think anybody will be disappointed by it. I'll only post a couple of teaser pics of today as it will only spoil the suprise if you see more.

Can't wait to have a look round this place :). I'm guessing the tasters are Lada Riva estate and Talbot Samba. ;)
 
Ok, so starting to get list of activities together to see what the general consensus is, the last thread mentioned bungee jumping from Killiecrankie bridge: http://www.bungeejumpscotland.co.uk/page/bungee This costs £75pp for the first jump and then £30pp for each jump after that. THESE MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE ON THE WEBSITE FOR THOSE WISHING TO DO THEM.

The other thing which was suggested is going to the crannog centre: http://www.crannog.co.uk/ A crannog is a type of ancient dwelling:

A crannog is a type of ancient loch-dwelling found throughout Scotland and Ireland dating from 2,500 years ago. An important part of our heritage, many crannogs were built out in the water as defensive homesteads and represented symbols of power and wealth. The Scottish Crannog Centre features a unique reconstruction of an early Iron Age loch-dwelling

A visit to the Centre includes a self-guided exhibition, a guided crannog tour, and 'hands-on' ancient crafts and technology demonstrations. There is also a themed giftshop in which to browse offering an excellent selection of books, crafts, and related items. Weather permitting, you can also hire one of our replica dugout canoes. Special events run regularly featuring artists, musicians, skilled craft workers, and other specialists who, together with our own team of Iron Age Guides, actively bring the past to life. All in all, an excellent day out for adults and children alike, from ages 4+. Costs £8.00

And of course we have thanks to the good work of @Giacosa got the visit to the car cemetery confirmed :) We will be looking for more choices of activities too as well as the obvious taking in some of the beautiful local scenery. There is also a licensed bar on the campsite, so I am sure that will pass an evening ;) I will also be bringing some Irn Bru for you all to try :) We will be suggesting some more activities to see what we all want to do.

Is there anything that you would especially like to do at panda camp? If so suggest it!

You have to pay THEM to let YOU jump off a bridge :confused: BACKWARDS :eek: :eek: :eek:

Technically no, you just have to pay them to attach a big elastic band ;)

If anyone wants to do this, I am happy to support your efforts, but from a long way back. :D You won't get me anywhere near the edge, even if you paid me in Panda's............ ;)
