Default Aden park?!

Aden country park; A lovely spot, located in a little town/village called mintlaw.
Lots of good forest, a playpark (A few good opportunities here ) It has it's own caravan/camping site, but I think you have to pay for these, but the place is left pretty much unstaffed, (except the few who staff the farming museum and cafe) so as long as it's a little out of the way, camping is easily an option.

There's a ruined mansion with chances for cool climbups/wallruns/gaps/cat leaps etc. Not to mention a sizable dark scary pine forest, perfect for running through at full speed I won't post any pics, as by the looks of things David's been here before, and a quick google yields a few pics. So, I live pretty close, and there are buses that run from Aberdeen bus station (the one at union square shopping centre) straight to mintlaw, where I could meet you all up and then it's a short walk down the road to the park. Maybe this could be the "something special" I had in store? What does everyone think?

I can do either day. Thursday will be quieter as its the weekday (but it is the holidays so I dunno) but sunday gives us a little longer to plan and will be quite busy. The weather forecast looks fine for both days, so it really is down to you.

I'm gonna have to find my tent.

-----UPDATE-------
I have a small tent that I will take with me; It can fit 2 comfortably, 3 at a push. As a bonus, it isn't ridiculously hard to put up, I've just done it in 10 minutes

How many night's we planning on?

There are buses that run frequently from mintlaw straight to union square shopping centre bus station.

I could get up really early, meet you all in aberdeen, take us to the bus station and get off the bus with you at mintlaw so you don't get lost, but I don't know how plausible it would be for me to travel for around an hour to aberdeen only to come straight back out again.

or I can meet you all as you get off the bus at mintlaw (But the problem here is that none of you might not know what mintlaw looks like and not know when to get off)

So basically the question is; Am I too lazy, and do any of you guys know mintlaw?

You could meet us in Aberdeen, and then we could train for a little bit then go back to Mintlaw!
