Midnight In The Middle of Nowhere is travelling west, we're finally allowed and able to meet up again so we will.

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 but it is small so could be pretty cosy.  

I and others will be sleeping on the fells tonight.

This is my third time to visit this Bothy and both previous times have been at the time of named storms. Do you still want to come?  Just saying.

The event will start at 11pm , and will end just before 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 nasty. 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 Septemberr in top of the Welsh moors after all,

The accommodation has a fire but there will be nothing to burn so I would suggest you bring 1 kg of coal per person.

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

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, is you bing TBs we will share numbers only, no exchanges.

All will be welcome.

For those wishing to walk in as a group, I will be walking in before dark, it will take around 90 mins of brink walking and is on an uneven but clear track.

If you wish to eat and drink, bring your own food, drink and stove please.

You will not be able to drive all the way 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.

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

Logistics

Off road parking stated  is about a 6km walk to bothy with steep but very clear paths, the parking spot is about 300m lower than the event.  Best allow about 2 hours for the walk in.

The parking location given is the trail head too.

Please bring fuel to burn on the fire, I suggest each person brings 1kg of coal or wood (there is nothing closeby to burn), this is not a requirement of attending the event, but would be kind.

Sleeping for most will be on a platform or on the floor and it is September so come prepared.

Lets hope the weather is fine and clear this time. plleeeeeeeeeze.
