Bothy Weekend

February 6, 2016 @ 12:00 am - February 7, 2016 @ 5:00 pm

There was a suggestion at the Christmas bash, that some folks would like a bothy weekend, so I thought I would put something in the calender to aim for. My suggestion is Allt Scheicheachan (pron. Alt shee-cha-chan, with the ‘ch’ as in loch both times) just up from Bridge of Tilt/Blair Atholl. All landrover tracks: approx 10km, yes some climbing up to 500m with alternative exit strategies including Beinn Dearg, weather permitting! http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/maps/map1_14pt.shtml.

My other suggestion is early February, so we avoid the midgies!

If you can wait until then try this:

  1. Ok the rough plan is to meet at the Bridge of Tilt carpark at 12.00, eat your packed lunch before setting off (saves carrying it). There is the option for those that want to, to meet up earlier and go for a ride up Glen Tilt. Then head off to the bothy about 10km on landrover track with a climb of about 500m. If that is not enough there is a climb up to Beinn Derag. The following day we can exit by a similar route or via Glen Bruar back to Bridge of Tilt

    • Chris, unfortunately I now won’t be able to do those dates but would love to do a bothy ride soon. How are you for sign up numbers, and is there any appetite for a follow-up one soon?!

        It looks like Tim and Luke are up for it, and it’s going to be vegetarian thanks to Luke. Weather doesn’t look too bad at the moment. Shame you cant make it. I didn’t realise it was a school holiday when I suggested the date. Yes I am sure there will be another bothy weekend
