CIC Meet Report 4th-6th Aug 2023
Another month, and another memorable MMC weekend meet. Whilst you might think from the UK’s highest mountaineering hut, great mountaineering feats would be achieved, of course the CIC lived up to it’s usual rainy reputation.

With warnings on parking in force due to the mountain biking event at Fort William, Olly and David arrived early on the Friday and headed up to the CIC on the Friday arriving just after 6pm. Unfortunately, there was no toilet roll so a cry for help was…
Bus Meet: 10th September Torridon
Bus Meet: 10th September Torridon Our next bus meet location will be Torridon. This is a classic venue with excellent ridge traverses available from the bus.

In the past the bus has parked at Inveralligin but this is unlikely to be possible with the huge increase in traffic in this area Also note the date – 10th September. Bus Meets are usually on the third Sunday in the month but…
