Well it looks like many a living room floor is covered in maps as Challengers plot and plan their routes.

We're offering the same special Challenge rate of £15 per person and a free cuppa for any Challenger whether staying with us or just passing through. Last year we had over 50 Challengers in for tea. It was great to hear all the Challenge tales and gossip.

This year we're not cooking breakfast but if you don't want to self cater "Betty's Pantry" just along the high street will open early to feed hungry Challengers - we can recomend her full Scottish Breakfast and her homemade cakes are wonderful. In the evening we have two pubs and a restaurant within staggering distance.

The village has a well stocked Co-op for the days ahead and The Trading Post in Kingussie has offered to drive down and sort any repairs to stoves, tents etc.

We'll hold resupply parcels for Challengers and if you need gas give us a ring and we'll get some in for you.

Hope to see you in May
