Hi there floma, thanks for posting a wonderful and amusing trip report. Had me laughing a few times! We have all done it, humped coal many many miles just to find the bothy has no fireplace
funny now but not so at the time
Great credit to you and the family for undertaking such a route. I have not done a long distance trail as yet so a lot of the information is very useful, I'm still hoping to get something organised for this year, if not next. I've wild camped with the Grandson a few times now, and so far they have gone very well without any mishaps. Congratulations to you and the family and hope you come over to Scotland again for another trip of a lifetime, something no doubt you will remember for the rest of your life, I'm very glad the Scottish weather was kind to you

PS and like you I cannot understand people who just leave rubbish around the bothies
