    Volunteering, work in the Cairngorms

    That sounds like a great opportunity for somebody in the right situation, if you could squeeze the hours into a couple of days it would leave the rest of the week to explore the mountains :) A roof over the head (albeit a fibreglass one) and some basics provisions sounds fair enough

    The Dixon Roller pack is nicely designed, with one wheel it's probably better behaved on the rougher stuff http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/store/p320/Dixon_Roller_Pack.html

    Bergans Lavvo - Discontinued?

    I picked up the 10-12 man on Sportpursuit a couple of months ago for stupid money, less than half what I paid for my 4-6 man from Tamarack. If they've appeared on SP then there's a good chance they're now discontinued

    Advice Needed for 3 Nights in the Cairngorms

    A lot of the estates in the 'Gorms ask you not to light fires, you might get some unwanted visitors if you have a wood stove running in some areas. I get up there every winter for a week (it's not quite cold enough yet :)) but we hammock camp and use multi fuel stoves rather than light fires...
