Went up there in 2020 between lockdowns. Not an easy find, you are looking for a hole in the ground rather than a picture of a cave entrance you might have in your head. look for the grassy area to the west of the Allt a Choire Glais river, just before it merges with the wider Allt Creag a' Mhadaidh...

Anyone got experience of overnight parking in Glenmore? We're hoping to dump a car or two for a couple of nights in the area. Ideally I'd like to park at the funicular base station (or as close to it as possible) and/or the Allt Mor Car Park. Does anyone know restrictions prices. At a pinch we could...

Elgol to Sligachan is a peach of a walk!

The Aberfoyle/Trossachs area or Dunkeld/Pitlochry/Killiecrankie areas are both accessible from Edinburgh, great walking country. If the weather isn't so good up there try Melrose and the Eildon hills.

Good report thanks ... I think I'll fit my gaiters! Lucky man seeing the Capercaillie, where was that, I'll look out for them!

I'm planning on going through next weekend, I'd be interested in getting an eyewitness account of accumulated snow in upper reaches of the Lairig Ghru too ... so please keep the reports coming!
