After slaving for weeks on a top secret project, finally it was time to escape for Easter. After 90 mins sleep we gathered our gear and laptop and headed for the train. We planned to head for the wilds of Northern Scotland, working all the way there on the train. Unfortunately, however, a few thousand other Londoners appeared to have the same idea, meaning that work continued at our wilderness destination. Glenmore Lodge in the heart of the Cairngorm Mountains is the UKs premier outdoor training centre. I was in heaven...

The B&B accommodation here worked out cheaper for a private room than the local youth hostel! It was beautiful, with high-speed wireless, right in the heart of the wilderness!
This was the view from the grounds. You could actually walk to the main range - and indeed, we hiked back from the summits there, the next day.
The Lodge is surrounded by forest hiking and mountain biking trails, and quiet streams.
Guests and those participating in the many outdoor courses have full use of the gym and indoor climbing walls, as well as the pool and sauna.
I expect this is the only place in the UK where you can train for the Nordic ski/shooting olympic event.
There are gear displays everywhere...
display boots
display ice axes
The Lodge even has its own weather station, so those heading out on training trips can check their survival chances and gear choices first.
