Hi all,
There is a place up in Nethy Bridge called the Mountain Bear Lodge. I’ve been wanting to stay in it for ages now but as in the name its a BIG lodge, suitable for groups and sleeps 16.
It is absolutely gorgeous inside and poses total luxury, complete with outside hot tub, indoor jacuzzi and sauna and has also an outdoor BBQ hut (aka Grillkota). This is not your average bear accommodation!!!!
There is a discount week available for Friday 14 September, making it £18.75 pppn, total cost £131 for a weeks holiday in MTB (hill walking) heaven. I wont go into just how much biking (walking) there is around this area – I think the success of the recent Aviemore trip proved that! I just wondered if there would be any interest in this mega fun trip up north?
More information on the lodge and lots of pictures here;

The downside is we need to pay the balance on booking because it is a discount week. But if anyone was interested shout up and we might have a bigger better GMBC Aviemore week away!

Sounds my kind of place.
In!
Looks excellent. Will speak with the other half to see if there are any days holiday left unaccounted for…
Hi Dawn,
Sounds fantastic, but unfortunately I cannot make as I’m away that whole week to my brothers wedding abroad.
Sorry if this sounds a wee bit negative, but if it doesn’t happen due to lack of numbers, there is always the option of the weekend mid Nov at my fathers time share. He’s assured me that it’s available again to us for next year – Sat to Mon. I’ll post more details early next year.
I hope it works out as it’s crackin’ value and nothing beats a hot tub time machine;-)
sounds/looks ace hopefully make it along need to see what next years rota is though.
Option if fully booked and more want to go is obviously.get other digs or camp (weather should still be good in sept.
Sounds and looks great and I’d love to go. Just need to check with the missis etc etc. Please keep me posted.

Hiya,
Looks great!! Not sure if i’ll have enough hols for a whole week though… and J won’t be able to come as September is Nokia Coast to Coast and some other big event. Is this the only free time?
If you don’t get numbers, think another weekend staying at Glen Feshie hostel would be another option- might not have a hot tub, but still looks pretty cool!
