Car Meet, Sun 16th October, Corgarff Castle

An excellent central location in the Eastern Cairngorms not far from the Lecht Ski Centre. This is an ideal meeting place to meet for some fun and frolics in the wild and beautiful but more remote parts of the Cairngorms. There are two Corbetts that can be gained just by walking from here, Brown Cow Hill and Carn Ealasaid. There are numerous other less trodden slopes and tops that can also be easily reached. From here or from close by there are a number of paths and tracks that could be used for a bit of easy, intermediate or strenuous mountain biking adventures. Or why not combine a bike ride…

Glenbrittle Weekend Meet, September 2022

The yearly Glenbrittle meet in Skye did not disappoint. Despite the promise of high winds, intrepid mountaineers managed to mountaineer! Both old and new members all had a fantastic time with highs on the Cuillin ridge (Jule and Lauren saying it was their best day on the hills, ever!), serenity being found at Coire Lagan and people ready to burst after eating enough food to feed a moderate sized army. Adventures were had on the Friday for some lucky part timers. Unfortunately, none of these adventures were immortalised in the Big Red Book. Having said this, Babs was spotted near Applecross Corbett bagging on Beinn Bhan. Jule was seen half…
