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…
The former crofting cottage of Lagangarbh has a truly majestic location, nestled below the iconic and imposing buttresses of Buachaille Etive Mor. This SMC hut was the venue for the Club’s meet in April 2016 and our eagerness to return resulted in a revisit on 8th and 9th of December 2017. A few regulars were…
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…
