Hi All

Thanks for all your comments

As far as I can establish you cannot get gas in Drumnadrochit

Alan is correct, I shouldn't need replacement gas but I am planning to use the smallest sized cylinder and if I get delayed by streams in spate, which is a risk on the route I am taking I could be short by Aviemore

Thanks

Geoff

Simple answer is take a 250 cylinder, the extra weight can't be enough to cripple you surely! On our Challenges we used up to 4 250 cylinders between the two of us but we did boil water for breakfast, morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea plus an evening meal. We carried two canisters from the start and replaced them as needed. Also you can buy 250 cylinders much more easily than the smaller ones.

If you are heading to Drum via Cannich, the store there is very helpful, and got gas in for us last year.
