What's the terrain like? Geared or SS friendly?

Both geared and SS friendly. SSUK2008 was at Drumlanrig, it was great fun

Are the midges bad at Drumlanrig?

Midgies are likely to be abundant all over Scotland this year, but at least it will mean a bumper season for Garibaldi biscuits too. you don't think that is fruit in there do you?

But here is a forecast you can check nearer the time, Drumlanrig is low at the moment...

I'm aiming to join the fun

I am interested in camping over somewhere too or even a bit of floor space for my air bed would be nice.
