This time was a bit of organizational nightmare because I ended up without a lift but eventually managed to get a bus up to Bridge of Orchy where the driver stopped by the entrance of the Achallader farm road. It was galling and just got dark, guess the driver thought I was going to die :-P Walked up for 15 min and managed to meet Helen in the car part and we walked up with her friend's and her friend's 2 kids up to the railway cottage in middle of a gale and in the dark, took us some 20 min which felt more like an hour. The cottage was something in between a basic cottage and a bothy. No electricity piped gas lantern illumination, water from stream from stream and a fireplace with oven and boiler. There was a lengthy instruction which I was glad that Helen followed to switch the water on. Was only one floor, with a kitchen, bathroom without bath, 2 rooms, living room and porch and next to the railway just on the side of the bridge on other side of the rails.
Others came in later and the weather broke to a starlit windless sky. Think most people I knew from the mountaineering club at uni where there :-)
We partied till 4 and next morning (midday) we walked to Stob Curiour, going mast the GUM club hut on Crashgour. Took us 5 hours instead of 2! Well, we walked up from the back and from the car park.
Managed to get a lift back with Neil this time :-) Ah we saw some kyakists setting off on Bridge of Orchy!
