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
