Midnight In The Middle of Nowhere is traveling north, way north !!
Another chance to meet up at a bothy in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, my first visit to this Bothy.
There is free basic accommodation at the event location.
I and others will be sleeping on the moors tonight and i will be brining a tent.
How about an event with a difference?
How many have been on the hills 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 moors.
The event will start at 6pm , and will end at midnight on the same night, there is no requirement to be awake at the event time, just present for some or part of it.
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 April in Scotland lol.
The accommodation has a solid fuel burner but there will be no fuel close-by, so bring some, about 2kg of coal or wood will do.
There is no toilet.
Please be aware this is a serious undertaking, though there are good paths to and from the closest parking spots which are around 8km away.
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’ me and my compatriot should be leaving the closest parking about 5pm.
You will not be able to drive all the way to the event since it is on rough tracks.
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, but I'd recommend bringing earplugs, the bothy is small so a tent might be a good idea too.
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)
