The Club had previously enjoyed a couple of meets at the Milehouse Hut in Kincraig south of Aviemore. In the same area, a short distance away is Mill Cottage, wonderfully secluded in the forest just north west of Feshiebridge where our November meet was held on the 17th and 18th. This is a “National Hut”…
The C.I.C. hut was this month’s destination. It is owned by the Mountaineering Club of Scotland and is situated at 680m under the North face cliffs of Ben Nevis. It sleeps 24, has propane for cooking on a number of hobs and a cooker. Gas stoves also provide heating for the hut and drying room…
This months’ meet took us over the border to the Lake District where Fylde Mountaineering Club’s hut was to accommodate The 45 over the weekend. At full capacity the hut was a tad cramped but the ample kitchen and toilet facilities ensured an enjoyable stay. A rota system to the nearby Three Shires Inn also…
Following a very successful meet last year, the Club returned to the Glen Brittle Memorial Hut in Skye on 18th and 19th August. A trip to Skye is one the first to be inked into members’ diaries and always results in eager anticipation – and in some cases trepidation. The hut is perfectly centred for…
On 21st and 22nd July 2017 the Club returned to Inverardran Cottage, Crianlarich – owned by the Ochils Mountaineering Club. This hut vies with Morvich for the right to claim most Munros within a half hour drive. Some further improvements had been made since our last visit to what was already one of the best…
The Club’s June meeting was a return to the superbly located Strawberry Cottage, leased from Forest Enterprise by the An Teallach MC and sitting in what is a normally serene location five miles from the nearest public road at the western end of Loch Affric in beautiful Glen Affric. Nevertheless, the hut boasts electric (solar…
Back in March 2015 the Club had a meet in the Inbhirfhaolain Hut in Glen Etive. This time around our Glen Etive meet would take place on 12th/13th May further up the glen at the Smiddy which sits almost at the end of the public road opposite the imposing Ben Starav and a few hundred…
The Kintail Outdoor Centre is owned by National trust for Scotland and nestles below Sgurr na Moraich, the last of the famous Five Sisters of Kintail, and Ben Attow. More than a couple of dozen Munros and Corbetts can be accessed from within a 30 minute drive – and quite a few can be climbed…
The Steall Hut in upper Glen Nevis is maintained by Lochaber Mountaineering Club and sits at the head of the Nevis Gorge looking out over the splendid Steall meadows. Access is by a path along the gorge with the sting in the tail being the requirement to cross the river by way of the famous…
In October 2015, the Club first visited The Jacobites Mountaineering Club Hut at Inver near Achnasheen and were rewarded with some exceptional unseasonal weather. Surely it would be pushing our luck to expect more of the same for our first re-visit on the weekend of 10th/11th February 2017. Well, as it happened it turned out to…
