DIRECTIONS
Do not rely entirely on SatNav as the postcode covers a large geographical area.
From the A9, Crubenmore is well signposted just south of the Newtonmore and Ralia CafƩ turnoffs, about 4 miles north of Dalwhinnie, on a dual-carriageway section of the A9.
Follow the sign for Crubenmore and turn off the A9 onto a small road.
Crubenmore Lodge is about one mile along this road, in a large stand of pine trees on the right.
See the linked doc above for info about the facilities.
Sorry Mattia, just realised I never replied to this. My 3 series is probably not as roomy as yours? But happy to take mine. Just let me know what works and then I can work out any insurance details if necessary ā¦ am I right in thinking its you, me & Danny so far driving up from London together?
If you have a spot, Iād love to get a ride as well. Happy to pay my share of petrol and all that of course!
Hello Katy. 3 series sounds really comfy but I suppose itās a saloon version rather than station wagon. If we go for my car Iāll talk to my insurance to see if they can put you on there as an additional driver. Shouldnāt be a problem.
You donāt happen to have snow chains? I was in Glencoe a year ago in a hire car and was slipping all over the place. Told myself Iāll be better equipped next time.
Ladislav, I should think we can accommodate a fourth person. If we are a little organised with luggage there should be enough space for the 4 of us.
Hi all,
This will be my first trip with the club so is there anything I should bring beyond the essentials? Rope and harness? And does someone have maps and route guides for the area? Iām happy to buy them but if someone has then Iād rather not buy them unecessarily.
Thanks
Danny
Awesome, Iāll consider that sorted them and weāll figure out the details closer to the event.
@DannyTompkins, and this applies to all.
I suggest you refresh your navigation (especially in whiteout conditions) and avalanche awareness. Youāll need full winter / foul weather clothing; spare gloves recommended (& goggles can be a godsend too). Axes, crampons, slings and other climbing gear. Helmet ! Compass!
I have a variety of guide books (multiple coverage for some areas but not sure about the Gorms) and a map, BUT, we wont just be one party so need at least a couple between us.
A thermos is a nice addition too. Start a list now, i guarantee itāll grow as you think about it.
Iām also going to throw in rock shoes and chalk bag in case i want a day out of the weather.
Donāt forget sleeping bag and towel
