Re: Underground bothy near Ba Bridge, Rannoch / Bridge of Or

$matches[2] June 1981 Gil, thanks to you, Caberfeidh and all the other responders. It's been really interesting, and I should have replied sooner. Your 1981 photos are kind of how I remember it. Taking a couple of Ukrainian refugee friends up to Inveroran for a few days camping soon, so I might che...

Cheers for that. Went up today. Apparently they open about 8am.

Toilets at Loch Muick / White Mounth Circuit

Hi,

Does anyone know if the public toilets at the start of the Lochnagar circuit are back open and, if so, whether they're 24 hours?

Thanks

Cheers jimbell. I'd love to develop some winter walking skills. Gives the hills a different character. Might sign up for one of the MS courses.

Dry as a bone on Chabhair!

I had read a lot of negative views on this hill, so I decided to make it the first of the season and climb it after 2 days of 15 degree sun and after a dryish cold spell. Worked a treat! The only difficulty was, the doctor called and offered me the second Covid vaccine at 9am that morning. I was loa...

Stuc on 50? Hopefully not for long!

A bit of a disappointing year tally-wise for obvious reasons, but I wanted to satisfy my borderline OCD and at least get to 50 Munros before being locked down again! With my total on 47, I decided to finish off the Lawers group by walking the Coire nan Cat circuit. This would also have the additiona...

Inversion City in Glen Lyon

The first weekend after the so-called 'Glorious' 12th, so I was a bit nervous having read reports about grumpy estate workers with big guns. I attempted to call and email to check if they had a shoot planned, but couldn't get hold of anyone. So, I set out from Paisley at 6am with the intention of do...

Re: Ben Chonzie, heavy mist, young kids...what could go wron

Hi. Thanks for your comments everyone! No dead animals, but sweets aplenty! And of course they love their dad. What's not to love? Lots according to the dating apps, but let's not go there 😂 Even though I'm relatively inexperienced I wouldn't have been too concerned about missing the path, walking i...

Ben Chonzie, heavy mist, young kids...what could go wrong?

First time walk report poster. End of the October holidays and two bonus in-service days. Deep joy. What to do with the kids (4 and 10)? I know, let's climb a Munro. After all, the forecast is for drizzle and fog. They'll love it 🤔 The day started well when I discovered that oldest daughter had left...

Opinion on ways to tackle northernmost 4

Hi there. I'd be interested to hear views on best way to tackle Hope, Klibreck, More and Conival, and maybe Wyvis next spring / summer. I've got (only) 36 under my belt just now and hopefully a few more before winter. Bit overweight and generally not that fit (although reasonably hill fit). Did 4 of...

Arthritis and Munros

Hi. My post might be a bit pointless as I don't have any advice that will significantly help anyone! I just wanted to offer my support to arthritis sufferers, and rather than reply on one of the many posts on the subject I thought I'd just post one of my own. I've just turned 41 and have had serious...

Re: Underground bothy near Ba Bridge, Rannoch / Bridge of Or

It would have been while I was staying at Inveroran doing the B of O Munros or WHW. Not Glen Kinglass. The trees were definitely visible to the East as you head North on the WHW from Ba. I reckon we've got it Orion. Your description sounds spot on and the picture kind of rings a bell, but if that's ...

Re: Underground bothy near Ba Bridge, Rannoch / Bridge of Or

Wow. Thanks for all the replies. Really fascinating and made me all the more keen to find it. It would be about 25 years since I was last there so I suppose it could have collapsed and went to ruin, but I don't recognise the photos as being it. I have turned 40 though, so my memory isn't what it was...

Re: Underground bothy near Ba Bridge, Rannoch / Bridge of Or

Cheers. I'm sure I didn't dream it :? You could only see it when you got right up close. Just looked like a grassy mound from a distance.

Underground bothy near Ba Bridge, Rannoch / Bridge of Orchy?

Hi there. First time poster, so be gentle! Trying to get back into walking after a long break. I remember my dad taking me to an underground 'bothy' near a copse of trees off to the right somewhere after Bridge of Orchy, near Ba Bridge I think. The roof was a mound of grass, but it had a stone floor...
