Bear in mind race HQ will be in Aviemore itself, so aim to stay there or thereabouts if possible. Nearest camping site is Coylumbridge, three miles out of town [via bike path]. Kingussie, Newtonmore, Boat of Garten, Feshie Bridge etc. are quite a bit away from Aviemore so check carefully before you book somewhere. Eating and Drinking Plenty to choose from, we rarely make it past this lot: Mountain Cafe www.mountaincafe-aviemore.co.uk Café Mambo On the main drag, cannae miss it.
