Venue for 2008
It was a fantastic day with friends to be. A perfect way to get to know people. You could walk by yourself or entangled in a very vivid discussion about the big bang/creation. We could all enjoy it on our own terms. A magnificient day that everyone deserved to experience.
Peter Hallstrom, Sweden.
Our base is a lodge at Badaguish. It is set in the stunning landscape of the Cairngorm National Park, in the Highlands of Scotland.
Badaguish is 5 miles from the south end of Aviemore (just off the main A9 Perth to Inverness road).
The lodge is warm and roomy - think of an up-market hostel – with large dining room, kitchen and lounge, and, as you would expect, wonderful views. It can accommodate up to 17 people. Rooms sleep one, two, or four people in a mixture of single beds and bunks – most are en suite.

Take the road at the south end of the village signposted for Cairngorm and Loch Morlich and continue for 5 miles. Badaguish is signposted on the left before Loch Morlich. Turn at the signs and carry straight on up the forest road through the trees for 1 mile. Badaguish is set in a clearing, and the whole site is totally surrounded by wonderful forest flanked by the mountains.
