You guys had a fire going the whole time? Lots of fuel then... my friend is pretty handy with an axe, I'll pester him to sort that out.
The nice thing about it is all this crap just goes in the van/car. It makes a nice change from all the other camping I do where I have to lug every single thing around myself. Need to get into the car camping mindset and pack to the gunnels. Got to dig out every piece of down I own

Oh yeah
I took my BBQ and a sack of charcoal and 5kg of coal, we then filched all the wood to keep it going.
It got to -14 at one point and my Sidis froze, so I had to put them in the fire just to get some flex in the uppers
nearly everyone has a BBQ/Firepit or small stove for heat and a separate mini stove for cooking etc
If you are driving and its not a 4x4, they may not let you up the fire road if its icy or snowy, so bring chains.
We will get on the A9 at Ballinluig, so happy to meet there or in Pitlochry to go up in convoy

We were literally saved last year by the fact that all the demolition waste from the hotel being re-furbed was in the carpark and we could pick the wood out of it.
I plan to fill the Disco with the waste wood that has come out of the house this year and a a load of wood my neighbour and I have wood elved off the local paths under our guise of "keeping the trails and paths open your honour"
