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…
One of the most eagerly awaited meets of the year is the Club’s Burns Supper held annually at the end of January. The venue for 2017 was the magnificent Glassie Farm bunkhouse perched majestically on the hillside overlooking the river Tay and the town of Aberfeldy. The Original Unit sleeps up to 25 so it…
Nestling serenely at the South West corner of Loch Ossian in the Corrour Estate sits the splendid SYHA Loch Ossian Youth Hostel. Accessible to the public only by rail, foot or bicycle this was the venue for the club’s December meet on 2nd/3rd December 2016. Members attending: Jim Aire, Raymond Evenden, James Fraser, George Henderson,…
The Club’s inaugural meeting was held in the Ladies Scottish Climbing Hut at Kincraig, near Aviemore in February 2015. This excellent, very comfortable hut is very well placed for the Western Cairngorms and the Club decided to revisit for their meet on 4th and 5th November 2016. Members attending: Jim Aire, Bill Dallas, Deb Dallas,…
