Probably best to avoid depths of winter, but Feb onwards should be enough light.

MIDGES - OH YES :shock: May - September :shock: :shock: Etive midges are notorious, second only to the Skye ones. :shock:

And BATS :lol:
 
Right let me get this straight, 39 miles to Bothy, stay night, 30 odd miles back from Bothy, correct ?

The above suggests we carry luggage to and from the Bothy which you Mr P have earlier stated you do not like doing. Am I missing something ?

Interesting none the less :D
 
was there not an option of getting firewood and chuck deposited in the bothy for our arrival? So we could travel pretty light?

Nice work Mr P, I am most definitely in.

Time to start researching sleeping bags, etc...

tres bon 8)

Get a down bag off ebay - v light - just make sure you KEEP IT DRY :!:

Or a very good synth one :lol:

If numbers get high for this then poss camp for excess numbers outside bothy - although wouldn't think that necessary. It is quite a good size and really not hugely popular location imho.

Ooooh getting all juicy already :roll:
