Geocache Description:

Midnight In The Middle of Nowhere are travelling Scotland this time.

Another chance to meet up at a bothy in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.

There is free basic accommodation very close-by for those wishing to sleep over.  

I and others will be sleeping on the moor tonight.


How about an event with a difference? 

How many have been out on the moors at midnight, when it isn’t Halloween? (Probably quite a few of you, by now)

Well, this is your chance. This event is located in the middle of the fells.

The event will start at 11pm , and will end at midnight on the same night. 

Come prepared as it is an upland area, you will need waterproofs, warm clothing, proper footwear, emergency rations, a torch and a shelter in-case the weather turns. An OS map, and the ability to use a compass would also be an idea to prevent you getting lost.  You will need an ability to navigate yourself to and from the event site, and an awareness of your own safety and limitations. I would also recommend that you bring some food and a warm drink, it is November in Scotland after all. 

Also, accomodation has a solid fuel burber but there is no wood or fuel closeby, so bring some.

Please be aware this is a serious undertaking, though there are good paths from the parking spots.  

Hopefully the sky will be clear and we will get a view of the night sky and also if anyone is interested I’ll point out a few stellar constellations

Come along, have a chat and a laugh about caching, bring some TBs, pick up some TBs. All will be welcome.

For those wishing to walk in as a group, if you log ‘will attend’ and  look for notifications a few days before I will let people know from where and when I intend to walk up to the event.

As always with my events there will be a log book to sign (this is optional) and I will choose one lucky signatory at the end of the event who will be invited to claim FTF.

Finally if you are intending to sleep up there, you won’t be on your own several of us will be staying the night close by indoors, but you will need to bring your own food and sleeping gear to join us and some fuel for the wood burner.  

Snorers and silent sleepers are all welcome.

So I’m looking forward to meeting you on the moors, in the middle of nowhere, in the dark. (Yes my wife thinks I’m mad too)
