Hi, as the Training Ociffer for the Ochils MRT, I have an 'interesting' full-on weekend ahead. Twenty of the Team is assembling at Rannoch station for the evening train to Corrour whilst two of my team will have already driven off-road onto the estate and located our accommodation and a trailer.
Assuming that the train runs, we will be met by landrover and trailer which will transport at least our packs to the accommodation which could be a bivvy (all sacs packed for a night out!) - possible 6km hump along loch which will not look too lovely at that time of night.
Saturday should see us hauling butt and tons of equipment onto Meall Garbh for a stretcher hauling and lowering exercise, followed by a self-catered team meal inside estate houses beside Corrour House. A late night, as one of our company is moving job to Aviemore and Cairngorm MRT, followed by a 12+km tab back to Rannoch via at least one of the higher tops that block the route South as the only train past Corrour is after 1800hrs!
By the way, did anyone catch the Ch5 'World's Daringest Stunt / Nutter folk prog? - I'm just watching and it is currently featuring Leo Houlding justifying being a Mountain Base Jumper (B=brains, A=and, S=shit, E=everywhere)
bfn, andy
