I've just signed up for this, haven't walked in Scotland for quite some years. I would also like to do the CMD, hopefully third time lucky with the visibility. I can likely book the Thursday off too.

Hi Clare, great! Fingers crossed for good weather. We're looking into staying one extra day before and/ or after, so let me know if you're interested (along with anyone else!)

Hello

I've had a request for 3 non-LMC staying on Friday night so I've reduced the place numbers down to 9. This looks like it's fine as Alice has dropped out so if JR ends up taking Alice spot he still has a bed. As before 9 is not a hard limit. There's sofa space available and on the other nights up to 12 beds are available

Is anyone still planning to go up early? I've posted the hut information in the private section in case you are - and we'll need to get the hut key to you. :mrgreen:
