Re: Borlum - Drumnadrochit

Hi Simon, Borlum Farm are taking tents and the toilets will be open in May. See their system allows booking a tent pitch and I just called them to double check and they confirmed tents will be as normal in May.
Btw, which accommodation did you mean by the Sunderlands? Might be useful in future.:grinning:

Re: Borlum - Drumnadrochit

Janet Sutherland at Ault-na-goire offers up her field to the TGO each May for camping, she will also hold a parcel for you and has previously offered food at a reasonable price which you had to book. Last year this was done takeaway style. There is a toilet with sink for campers. It is a little Challenge oasis. Details are in the Event Details...

Re: Borlum - Drumnadrochit

Thanks Louise! I didn't click the name was the same as listed for Errogie.
There is also Cougie Lodge listed as supporting the TGO - does Melanie offer camping, or food, or drink?

Re: Borlum - Drumnadrochit

When I last stayed at Cougie, camping, accommodation and food were available, teas coffees and homebakes for those just passing through. I haven't been that way since Val died and Melanie took over, but I would imagine it's pretty much the same. Friendly and welcoming, part of the Challenge Family.

Re: Borlum - Drumnadrochit

Cougie is one of the legendary stop-overs of the challenge. It’s three years since I stayed there, but I think Melanie’s brother was chief chef. They did food, drink and camping or bunkhouse. Well worth a stop. Good food and good company.

Re: Borlum - Drumnadrochit

Many thanks Louise and Graham !!

Re: Borlum - Drumnadrochit

We stayed there last year ( and posted a parcel for collection) wonderful friendly welcome, great food, one of the challenge’s best stop-offs. Highly recommended.
