'RE' festival for UK/Scottish people on this weekend

http://www.bigtentfestival.co.uk/
Just thought I'd post it here for UK people. It's on this weekend (15-17), friday to sunday. I went there last year (look here: http://www.fieldlines.com/story/2006/7/1/202737/4798 )
and it was pretty good. It's officially a 'forest stewardship' festival but theres lots of RE stuff. There was stuff like a 'solar caravan' and an 8' wind turbine by Hugh Piggott (He wasnt there but the people in Edinburgh who do the courses were). I'm coming on the weekend some time, not quite sure on what day though. I look the same as in the pic just a year older ;-)
Won't be coming with the solar backpack though; all wired into the LED lighting system.
Just a quick post for any UK people around..
It's in Scotland; Falkland, see the website for more details.

The solar backpack looks more like a windmill backpack!

Its a kilt Tom, national 'dress' of Scotland. Different patterns/style of tartan for different Clans.

Wrong end of the country for me Fungus :(

Chagrin;

As gunny R. Lee Ermey says:

"nothing is worn under this kilt, everything is in perfect working order"

My comment on the skirt was mostly tongue in cheek directed at Fungus who comes on IRC regularly and some of us older guys try to keep him on his toes.

Cheers.

I think a skirt would get in the way if 3 out of 3 events that i would have going on .
