Has two routes in and out that are quite good and a bit testing.
Or a park at the bottom and hike up and over shorter walk.

Done this bothy twice and it is excellent for night time star gazing.

Take you own fire wood and some candels

Never thats what my minion is for.
Actually he takes great pride in washing stuff, lets see if that changes when he is a teenager.

Peaks is fine forest of dean is just as good if not a slightly better option
A little more info when you have it if you could please.
Sept is good for me and the first week in oct, will consider late oct depending on weather.

Could you post a pic of the m part forks please?

Great stuff!

I went for the over fill option in mine.
If you have a old down bag he can turn that in to a quilt for you for £50.

Got the Rab myriad jacket today and it is excellent, it fits nice, sleeves are a bit long as someone said but I can live with that, jacket feels super soft and ligh on and my helmet fit under the hood perfectly.
Rab wins again

This is me>>>>

Thanks for every ones input
