TRIP LIST

 

 Cairngorms - October. Scrambling and walking in some of the most famous mountains in Scotland! The transport will hopefully be leaving early afternoon. We are staying in a bunkhouse which is not near a pub.

  • Maps : Ordnance Survey Outdoor Leisure - The Cairngorms Aviemore and Glen Avon 1:25000
  • Travel : Its 250 miles and should take 5 hours.
  • Accommodation : In a bunkhouse at Mar Lodge which is not near a pub. Outac star rating : *****
  • Routes : Ben Macdhui. Britain’s second highest mountain. A 10 hour round trip. Think of a long day out on the hills, double it… and you’re not even near!
  • Kit : Remember it's coming up to winter!
  • Other stuff : We are unlikely to get to a pub so bring booze for the bunkhouse.
  • Anybody who comes on this trip must read and digest the SAFETY page
