Re: Glenmore - Ben Macdui - Braemar. Is this sane?

I think Z is intending to divert from the intended route to the Shelter Stone as an escape route if conditions are bad. This would mean a considerable loss of height, plus descending to the stone from the west could be tricky in bad weather. Personally, it wouldn't be high on my list of options. I'd...

Re: Advice on backpacks, water bottles vs. camelback

I used a Camelbak type thing until I saw the green stuff that grew in the tube if I left it a bit long.

Fit like, loons & quines?

Been lurking for a bit but finally signed up so I can creep up behind Caberfeidh and shout 'BOO!', at least metaphorically.

Re: Tents and Mice

I should have put my food bag inside ruckie... Oh no you shouldn't ~ a mate left a cereal bar in a pocket of his rucksack in the Steall Hut, and the little buggers gnawed a hole through his nice new (and expensive) rucksack to get at the cereal bar.
