Well, I'm typing this in the Clachaig where I've retreated for some food.
Only 3 or 4 tents at the Squirrel and the weather is mild and dry - no wind. It's okay, I haven't pitched on your spot, Jim!

See you have started doing the "Jim Call" thing Armchair...Posting from the comfort of the Clachaig and making me extremely envious.......

Hope you are having a good time!! Jim will be up tomorrow(Thurs)and others should be arriving Friday....

How is the stove performing?

Edited to add....I just love all this modern technology that allows us to send reports from our phones to the forum as and when its happening....

Jelboy.

Hi Jelboy. There's also free wifi in the Glencoe cafe so the best of both worlds - real and virtual. the campsite is lovely. It's the first time I've got water from a tap in a tree! I've yet to get to grips with the stove. It warms the tent but if I leave the stove door open the smoke comes into the tent and if I close it the fire goes out.
Meet a couple who are caravanning at another site and are planning a barbecue this afternoon!

I'm going for the 7:00am bus from Glasgow on Friday morning...So should be at Glencoe crossroads around 9:30am...

Obviously as I am back packing I can't bring my share of wood as I usually do...But will pack a log for the fire!!

Wee change of plan Armchair...So I might get to meet you after all.........

Jelboy.

I am sitting in the Green Welly having a bacon roll and a frothy coffee. Just about to wander into the whisky shop to see what golden goodies they have on offer!
It will take me 20 mins to prise myself back into the car with all the wood I have!

George is bringing some and Pat so we should have enough for a constant fire from thurs til mon !!!

I'm just a tad jealous of you guys, I'm just off nightshift and it went to -2°C down here through the night, God only knows how cold it must be up there.   Still wish I was there though

They are hardy souls! They will be just fine! They have that roaring fire, red tinnies and the Clachaig to keep them warm.

Hope all is well up there and your having a fandabbydozzy time
