My thoughts too but you northerners will have the bog fest approach! I've done it on the fargo so you'll be fine. From memory (if you haven't done this before) the line on the ground takes a slightly more direct line to the river crossing than the dog leg on the map.

Now I've found Duinish on a map I'm favouring that, sure we could fit a tarp over the doorframe if the door is missing.
When I was there last there was another door to the main building inside the porch and that gate was just to keep sheep out of the porch??
The lavvy is out the back

It's been a month since anyone posted on here and only a month to go and still no decision made so although I said I didn't want to decide the location this year I am putting on my "TIN POT DICTATOR" hat and saying it's Duinish Bothy on 16/17 Dec.
I am going up this Sunday to check it out and drop off a bag of coal.
Depending on circumstances I will be riding in from Pitlochry train station or if my music tutor comes along then we'll be parking at Kinloch Rannoch and just doing a short ride in.

Hope it suits.
Yep. I was also hoping to get along for a recce but I'm only just back to riding after cracking a rib.
Right then, that's a bag of coal dropped off, hope no one going for numbers twos finds and uses it before we get there.
The front door situation. Whoever said there wasn't one is sort of correct. It is there, only not on its hinges. However it's not a problem as there are two doors between the outside world and the room we'll be in .
From the south. Took longer than planned to get up there as a huge digger doing maintenance on the drainage channels had been up and down the track a few times and churned it right up. Flew back down though without the weight of the coal holding me back.
