Re: BB200 - 2 Weeks to Go
I concur with much of Ian's prediction. When you have ridden around that area a lot and you know that its going north and putting it together with the photos of Stu's recce and recent bivi/bothy trip Mach, Caddy, Doll had to be on the cards and there's not a huge amount to choose from in that area. It's which way round that was the puzzle.
Should guess that Stu would make us go up that drovers road "the wrong way" to take all the fun out of it. :p

To be honest by the time I get there in the pitch black it'll all just be one big blur of OOF. I doubt I'll have a clue where I am!mountainbaker wrote:I was thinking the same.
