Some snowholing up Ben Lawers or Tarmachan should be on the cards. Reliable snow level, easy 550m access etc etc.
If anyone would like to hone their navigation skills I would be happy to provide a challenging weekend on Dartmoor. Nun's Cross Farm bunkhouse (an isolated abandoned farm house) would provide a good base for a weekend or perhaps a wild camp? I can include many archeological sites with a fairly well informed historical aspects of the moor.
Happy to arrange something. I normally charge for my courses, but to be honest I would rather just do this on a 'friends' basis, then I can relax and enjoy. (this is not a business 'plug')
DOes that float anyone's boat?

Floats mine... Navigation (by compass at least) is not my strong point and Dartmoors a stunning place for it.
Cheers, al.

Dartmoor is a great place to navigate. It provides a 360 arc of walking rather than following the beaten track. I can happily meet group needs and build in individual learning too
If we used Nun's Cross Farm there would be a charge for its use - but it isn't going to break the bank to be honest. We cant have fires on the moor but the old farmhouse is accessible by 4x4 so a fire box of some sort could be taken there to satisfy the 'flame folk'.
Sounds good to me. Hopefully others!
Happy to knock up something edible on the night if anything go's ahead. The colder the better for me- weather wise.

Now THAT'S a plan. Cairngorms would be great for me.

I'll chuck up a thread for this in the next day or so and we can see how much interest there is.

Right up my street too!
Put me down for it fella.
Good work.
Best.

Its been ages since I was last down on Dartmoor, pencil me in too
Good stuff Nick, keep in touch about it
Floats mine too. I'm needing some navigation practice and been meaning to get down to dartmoor again. I'll keep an eye out for the thread

The Gorms are good for snow cover eg Coire Raibert is used by the Led groups. But they can be very busy and a bit of human waste about. I prefer lee slopes above the 1000m contour elsewhere. Lots of safe from avalanche spots in the Southern Highlands eg Ben Lawers Area.
I suppose 'hangers' can hang off some ice screws in a snowhole !
