‘Twas the weekend before Xmas and all was quiet…well, except for at Milehouse! That said, it was a little quieter than usual, with a new strain of Covid on the loose and a re-tightening of measures, we were a few shy of filling the hut, which was a real shame as it’s among the best…

Members Attending Ania Borg, John Calder, Raymond Evenden, James Fraser,…

A new venue was lined up for this year’s meet on 24th and 25th January. Kinlochleven is ideally situated…
