Hi Alistair

We're going that way as well. We're stopping a little further on halfway up the hill in Coire nam Brach at about NH216061, where there appears to be a nice grassy spot. Then, the following day (Monday) we'll be heading up over the Corbett - a last chance to see it before it is surrounded by turbines.

I had a look at stopping in the woods before the A87, but Bing Aerial view didn't look too promising.

(By the way - when I said "We're going that way as well" I didn't mean we were flogging over the two bigguns, but we are going over Druim na h-Achlaise; We've not gone completely mad...)

There may well be some whisky & sloe gin left if you catch us up.

Obviously we will expect you to bring the big rucksack with cheese and wine and firewood.

Never too late to change your route, Alistair!

Alistair I would stay well clear of the three above reprobates
they will lead you astray cheers guys

Thanks for the warning Keith. I'll make sure I pitch my tent a good distance away from the three of them! ;)

Thanks for the info Alan.

I also didn't think the woods before the A87 looked particularly promising on aerial photos and from what I could find on Geograph.

Therefore if you don't mind, I think I'll come and join you in Coire nam Brach that evening - I can see the grassy spot you referred to.

Andrew, I'll bring the big rucksack of cheese, wine and firewood if you can arrange for there to be a bothy in Coire nam Brach that evening! ;)
