Back in December 2014 the embryo of the Club was just being formed and some soon-to-be-founder members attended a meet at Blackrock Cottage. The Club was born a month later and now that it had developed into a bouncy and moody five-year-old, it was time to revisit this iconic location. The hut is owned by…
Octobers meet took us south of the border to Stair in the Lake District. This was the clubs second expedition to this area and we had the privilege of using Fylde MC’s other hut, an excellent spacious purpose built unit in a prime spot for accessing many walks. A slightly lower turnout than expected for…
Rothiemurchus Lodge sits in the foothills of the Western Cairngorms, accessed by a track leading up from Loch Morlich. The lodge is a former military establishment which has been extended to provide self-catering accommodation and is superbly located for an assault on the mountains surrounding the Lairig Ghru. This was the club’s first visit to…
With no official club meet in July due to holidays etc, the show hit the road again in August with a first time visit to Ardvullin House in Ardgour, a short distance from the Corran Ferry terminal. The house itself was formerly a ghillie’s cottage dating from the 18th century. It is owned by the…
The Club’s second 2018 meet to the Inner Hebrides saw us visit the splendid Craignure Bunkhouse on Mull. The meet was originally pencilled in as an opportunity for club member Jason Bostock to complete his Munros on Ben More. Unfortunately, circumstances dictated that Jason had still not climbed a handful of other Munros on the…
The Club last visited Muir Cottage in August 2015 and a long overdue revisit took place on 18th/19th May 2018. The accommodation is the Club Hut of the Cairngorm Club and is extremely well appointed and comfortable with showers and good sized kitchen and communal area. The location itself is a short distance from…
April’s meet took us over the “bridge” to Skye to a change of venue after our original destination in Torrin was cancelled due to renovation work being carried out. This disappointed one particular member who was hell bent on putting the record straight on a certain summit almost on it’s doorstep. However, The Croft Bunkhouse…
The Club’s meet on 16th/17th March took us to pastures new – the Kinlocheil Outdoor Centre situated right by the side of the A830 which runs between Fort William and Mallaig. The Centre sits towards the west end of Loch Eil and is ideally situated for the Munros of Gulvain and the Corryhully Horseshoe –…
In November 2015, the Club enjoyed a memorable visit to one of the Edinburgh JMCS’s huts, the Cabin, in Balgowan, near Laggan – memorable for several different reasons! It was now time for a return trip and on 23rd and 24th February, the club did just that. The Cabin is very well situated with easy…
The Club’s Burns Supper is always one of the highlights of the calendar and a hugely successful event was held last year at Glassie Farm majestically situated overlooking the town of Aberfeldy and the River Tay. There was a very short conversation amongst the committee before it was agreed that a 2018 revisit should be…
