Bennachie Challenge BOOKINGS ARE COMING IN THICK AND FAST - TO ENSURE YOUR PLACE SEND YOUR APPLICATION ASAP! When?Gordon Area Explorers would like to invite you all to The Bennachie Challenge being held on the 21st to 23rd September 2007. Where? This Camp will be held at the Gordon Area Campsite at Daviot. This is a wooded site with great views of the surrounding countryside and the local hill Bennachie. The site even has its own stone circle. The site is only 10 mins away from Inverurie and transport can be provided from the bus/railway stations. Camping is between the trees on a number of small sites with facilities for open fires. What? As we know, explorers don't like going to bed so the plan is to keep you up late and allow a bit of a lie in if you want! Programme for the camp is as follows: Friday Arrive, Set up camp, Fancy Dress Disco till midnight followed by a camp fire. To make it easy there is no theme for the fancy dress – just dress as you want to. There will be lots of prizes for the fancy dress: Best Male, Best Female, Best Cross Dresser, Best Team, Best Animal look alike and loads more!
