Braemar: Sat, 26th May 2012 - Wed, 30th May 2012

---This event has now closed for booking---

This is a week based on the Mar Lodge Estate, four miles west of Braemar on the southern edge of the Cairngorm mountains. For Munro-baggers there are several Munros to the north accessible from the nearby Linn of Dee, the Glen Shee area to the south and the Lochnagar area to the south-east. And for non-Munro-baggers there are plenty of lower walking opportunities. There is an option to hire mountain bikes to make the mountains in the area more accessible.
Accommodation is the very spacious, comfortable and well-equipped Mar Lodge Base Camp (the best Base Camp that we’ve ever used!). Facilities include a very large kitchen, dining room, sitting room, four bedrooms, toilets/showers and a drying room. The cost of the trip will be £70 accommodation (assuming at least 6 places taken) + food + share of car hire by non-car owners (if required) + travel up to Scotland.
Hiring a mountain bike for five days is highly recommended for easier access to the mountains. This is easy mountain biking along generally good vehicle tracks (no rough stuff!). Bike hire will be £55. Please indicate on your form whether you wish to hire a bike.
This trip may be combined with the week on the Isle of Mull. Some lifts will be available from Braemar to Mull on Friday 1st June.
