Hello all

I am looking to do my second TGO and this time I am bringing company from Denmark. We are starting in Oban on Saturday (flying in Friday). Where to buy gas cannisters in Oban? We are looking for either 100g or 200g ones for Jetboil like stoves. There is seven of us in all, so I would like to reach out before hand to make sure they have that many in stock.

Where to send a resupply parcel to in Braemar? We will be arriving on the following Saturday evening and, here in Denmark the post offices are not open on Sundays, so an alternative would be nice, if anyone can point me to a place that will accept a package from Denmark.

Thanks

Hi
It's possibly easier to use Google Maps to find a camping supplies store selling the gas require, there are a few and you will be able to see how to find the shops on a map.
Where are you staying in Braemar? Most places will be happy to take a parcel if you are staying with them, the camp site, the youth hostel or a B&B, just ask.
Hope that helps.

Niels,

I’m planning a resupply in Braemar and will send my parcel to Mar Lodge (see event details page 9 for address).
I was told last year by another challenger that the campsite in Braemar are not willing to receive parcels, but have not checked that.

I’m not staying in Braemar, but going on to Lochallater lodge to camp - Mar Lodge’s facilities will be brilliant for me.

Hope you get sorted and enjoy your walk - it’s getting close now!!

Graham, well spotted, forgot completely about Mar Lodge!

The campsite will take parcels, if you are stopping there. I just spoke to them on the phone to confirm, the address is:

Braemar Caravan Park
Glenshee Road, Braemar, Aberdeenshire, AB35 5YQ

Thank you all.
I have sent out a bunch of emails enquiring about gas and parcels. Hope to run into some of you in May!
Cheers
