Re: Rannoch Station - Moor of Rannoch Hotel - wild camp

Thanks Annie......and to the others for the recommendations. I'm really looking forward to a special night there.

Re: Rannoch Station - Moor of Rannoch Hotel - wild camp

Another well done on reaching your tenth. I remember meeting on your first somewhere close to Alltbeithe, when you slowed down to our pace for a while to discuss among other things pack sizes! Have also stayed a few times the the Moor of Rannoch and as others, have found it a wonderful almost surreal experience given its location.. One time in the company of Tim and Bob Small from New York we spent an enjoyable evening sampling the selection of malts as the rain rattled the windows. It’s a classy refuge especially in wild weather. Good luck.

Re: Rannoch Station - Moor of Rannoch Hotel - wild camp

Hi Des, great to hear from you.

I remember so well our first meeting near Alltbeithe and our walking together with Eddie for a couple of days of enjoyable conversation. That walk from Cougie in to Fort Augustus was epic - we ended up arriving there well after 2230! I had my evening meal for breakfast the next morning!

I remember my first Challenge - on a day by day basis - better than many of the days on my subsequent Challenges.

And now, my tenth.

I couldn't resist the idea of staying at the Moor of Rannoch. It does sound so very special.

I'll have had three days camping by time I reach there. I have my fingers crossed for good weather as my route is a high one.

Hope to meet up with you again at some time.
