MacRetro chat and rides thread

[Dr S]

Entries for the Bothy bimble are now closed guys, we've hit six which is the absolute limit (bad form to have too large a group when using them). Kai, Gazz and Velo have made the cut from MacRetro along with three from our section.
I'm working on the provisional route this weekend and will send details via PM some time next week so we can depate and tweek. We will need somewhere secure to park cars for 24 hours and would like to get a pub stop in each direction as well as some good riding country- so its quite complicated. I have several suitable bothies to work with so it should be good.

This is going to be a classic!

I've been thinking about what to take and what I can get away with leaving behind. I think I will be taking 'Auld Faithful' as she has eyelets for a rack on the rear dropouts. Going to try out my Vango Four Seasons bag before we go too- nothing worse thana night out in the wilds and freezing yer nads off.

Cheers

I have some panniers in the garage so should be good for storage- sleeping bag and beer anything else? There will be wi-fi for my touch at the bothy?
