Just tried goggle and got no joy. Taking the kids to avimore for a long weekend . The kit hire prices at cairngorm station seem very expensive compared to abroad . The place that we used have to rent kit in avimore has shut . Any ideas ?

I suppose the overheads are spread over a shorter season in Scotland than the Alps.

Have you tried eBay? I got boots cheaper than I could have hired them. Kids stuff especially gets grown out of and sold on.

Thanks, Good idea . We will probably do just that at the end of the season but have left it a bit late for this weekend. Anybody got any ideas before I press pay on the cairngorm website later today ?

Didn't realise you meant this weekend. Have a great time.

There's a wee shop next to Mike's Bikes at the back of Myrtlefield, can't remember its name but you could always call Mike's Bikes to find out.

Not used it, so no recommendation, but may be an alternative.

Opposite the Reindeer Centre, just E of Loch Morlich.
