Garva Bridge

Hi everyone, sorry I missed you all this year, retired at Dalwhinnie! Anyway, just back from a walk and noticed Garva Bridge area often used by challengers now enclosed by a deer fence. There is room for only a couple of tents now close to the bridge. Was this so during the Challenge? If not, please note for next year as space is very limited. Liz

Re: Garva Bridge

Garva Bridge is to be used for the site of a major electricity sub station. This effectively means the end of its use as a camping spot. First timers planning their first crossings should consider camping a little earlier around Melgarve Bothy.

I wonder if this development will have a real im[act on this route as a Challenge 'special'. I suspect more people will take the fast road into Glen Doe or head for Laggan and approach melgarve by way of the Fairy Glen.
