Those going to "Thistle Do" can get on Campsite Friday, so ideally whatever is organised if it is before the LRSOC do needs to finish somewhere near Kelso, mid afternoon of Friday 27th. I would prefer before the LRSOC do.
How many days do we think the jaunt can be? Count back from a Friday finish.
LRSOC are suggesting routes (a thistle hunt) for those who have attended the "Thistle do" for after the event. (Sunday night spent on the Kelso campsite) then routes and camping Monday Tues Wed and Thurs and Friday is find your own site for the night, home on Saturday.
An event after thistle do would, for series one owners, be an either or choice, an event before means they have the option of participating in both....
Having said that there is not a lot of support for a LRSOC plan. 101 entries and only 17 wanting to stay on after. LRSOC plan seems a bit formal with campsites. I prefer the idea of some rough camping and if I had to choose LRSOC campsite plan or Leafers rough Camping I would go rough camping so I am not averse to something after "thistle do"
