What is it?

The hackerspace goes camping.

We pick a field and get our toys out. Play by day, drink around a fire by night.

When is it?

31 May - 2 June 2019

Where is it?

Northern Scotland. Forgue, Near Huntly.

How Do I get there?

It's roughly an hour's drive inland from Aberdeen.

There is a train station 12km or so away in Huntly.

There will be some people driving who might have spare seats, or can shuttle you from the train station.

What should I bring?

Everything, and probably a kitchen sink.

We like to go somewhere with very few amenities (and poor connectivity). You should bring whatever you need to survive, a project to hack on/make/play with and some stuff to burn too.

If you need food, drink, fire or supplies, there is a supermarket ( actually 2!) nearby in Huntly.

How many people will be there?

Last year there were maybe 10 of us, this year we're thinking at least 10 with a maximum of 30.

Talks/Presentations

This year at campGND we're really excited to be running a series of talks! The more talks the better! If you have some interesting science/techie/art/craft project or thing to talk about, we'd love you to share it with us. If you're an inexperienced speaker or you've never given a talk before, CampGND is a good place to start - we don't bite.

Add a talk to the Submissions page and we'll schedule it!
