We are off to the red squirrel this weekend, cycling from Oban to clachaig inn. Unfortunately that means back to basics as we need to carry all our gear. At least it will be warm in the clachaig inn!
I will try and take some photos along the way as its a lovely part of the country.

Have a good trip Scamp....I'm sure you will enjoy the hospitality of the Clachaig....If you can... try and make Sat and Sun nights in the pub...Live band on Sat(gets busy so in early if you can) Accoustic session usually on the Sun...Bit more laid back and chilled Both start around the 9pm mark....
Are you staying at the Squirrel?
Pics would be nice....Cos as you say its a lovely part of the country....

If your looking for a quiet pitch with no firepit to rest your weary bones... turn left up towards the toilet blocks there are a few nice pitches up in what they call the Ultra Quiet Zone....Quick scramble over the rocks and your on the banks of the river!!!

Jelboy,
Can you get firewood easily enough as I think we might need it at some point especially if we stay for 2 days.

For a wee bit extra heat....Treat yourself to some peat blocks as well...2-3 of them in with the wood and you will be toasty...
I am assuming you will not be taking an axe so some kindling from the shop to get the fire started might be an idea too....Kindling firelighter(or paper) to start it...Add some of the smaller logs/branches from the site...Once going well add the shop bought logs as that will be a bit larger....But drier!!!

That's all we ask Scamp that piccies are taken and posted...That way the Dead Squirrel Gang get their wee pictorial record of the area when they cant make it up there.....
How far is it from Oban to the Clachaig? Are you doing it over two/three days ???
