Love the fact that he sat watching TV on his Nexus ๐
good that. ๐
As ever, being prepared for it and all that. Good to hear his kit and prep worked well..Dry and cold for an enforced bivvy would be fine, wet however....
I too spent a worried hour or so searching for Corrour bothy in really, really crap weather. The classic deep snow, mist, rain and dark - we must have passed by it a couple of times and not seen it.
Should have turned on the GPS on his Nexus! Nice story though.
I recall reaching the bothy at the coll between Glen Clova and Loch Muick to find it rammed full of snow.
Great wee story, glad it worked out for you.
Timely reminder of why I stuff that kit in my bag
