This is a gentle reminder for the bothy trip next weekend, in case you missed it……….
It is out the Phil McKane book (see Bothy file link above) which is basically 2 loops; Ben Alder 30km and Ardverikie 35km from the bothy. There is a 10km ride in and out of Dalwhinnie about1.5hrs should do it with big pack and no punctures. The options are: to go in on Friday early evening remembering that the sunset will be around 8pm; or in on Saturday, dropping your gear and doing a loop or opening a bottle.
Here is a link to the Culra Bothy: http://www.claviantica.com/culra/index.html for more information it accommodates up to 22 in 3 rooms
In terms of gear:
- Individual gear
- Sleeping bag
- Thermarest or similar
- Torch
- Food plates & utensils
- Water/chlorine tablets
- Dry/change of clothes
- Bottle of your choice
- Loo paper
- Bags to carry rubbish out
- Shared Gear around group
- Stove and fuel
- Matches and candles
- Dry firewood or coal
- Firelighters
- Pans/kettle
- Washing up stuff
- Bike spares/tools
- Route map
So packs will be bigger than usual. We can sort out the shared gear when numbers are known. So far we have: Rob Rankin, Al(no helmet) myself and a few nibblers
I would suggest that we have a plan B in case the weather is piss poor.
Please let me know if you are interested or got any suggestions…………..
Cheers Chris
