Great news (via #walkhighlands ). #Culra #Bothy to be replaced.
https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/news/ex-bothy-at-culra-to-be-demolished-next-week/
Original bothy (closed because of asbestos) is being demolished. New bothy planned to be built in Spring next year.
The welcome return of a base for accessing Ben Alder and other hills!
#BenAlder #Hillwalking
Happy Old Year's Day, Happy Hogmanay, and Happy New Year when it comes.
Some earlier ones:
1. 2016, Ryvoan.
2. 1981, Ben Alder from Culra.
3. 1977 Coire an Lochain, although Hogmanay itself was at the Shelter Stone.
4. 1978, Lairig Ghru, trying (& failing) to get to Corrour from the Sinclair Hut.

After a few low level 2- and 3- day treks, Moray and I decided it was time to up our game and do some hills.
A 2-day high level walk picking up the four #Ardverikie #Munros which form the ridge to the north of #BenAlder. I've done them as a fairly straightforward single (long) day walk before, usually from #Culra bothy, but took the opportunity for a more relaxed 2 day outing with a high level camp. And our first Munro of the year (eventually!).
