Both the site food and Drovers grub isn't cheap, so you could scoot into Tyndrum and get something a bit cheaper or there are/were stoves in the lean-to cook something on. Can't remember what the breakfast facilities are, as we had the excellent breakfast gazebo provided and maned by Ralph and KG (IIRC) at GM1.

Beinglas breakfasts in the pub bit have been excellent when I've been there a couple of times last year. They do a scary brekky for £6ish which is really for the nutters heading out to walk 20+ miles on the next bit of the West Highland Way, but it's perfect for bikers that love their grub .

So stumbling distance?

Actually, if I end up drinking with Preston again, make that crawling distance!

Anyone got space in their tent for a small one! lol

If you have to...

I think me and Uki on GM 1 paid about £9 or £10 on the site pub for a lovely meal.. so it not too bad - if you have the means in these trying times- and of course the Drovers inn has grub- £8 or £9 ish for normal mains like sausage and mash or haggis (reccomended) and they do Pizza in the evening til 10.. its Ok Andy you wont go hungry - but like Miss Yc says- a beer and a meal and 2 of you - its looking around the £30 a day mark.. which is a lot when most of us are on a budget.

we taking butties for on the way up - luckily will get a breakfast with the B and B on site included and may just share a bag of chips for dinner.. since the economy dropped we go out for a meal and share a a main in an indian and chinese often.. made us realise just how much money we wasted before as we never ate a whole meal each anyway ..



Andy - just bring some marshmallows and toast them on the fire- marshmallows with midge filling- yum
