A fantastic time was had by the 10 lucky people who ventured to this beautiful and wild part of Lewis. Everyone was there for the 3 nights of Friday to Sunday but others took the opportunity of arriving on Thursday and some stayed until Tuesday. This is of course is easy for those who don’t have to earn a crust! It also makes sense in view of the high cost of taking a car on the ferry. The Otter Bunkhouse and Bothy are very comfortable although they could be improved by additional fridge space and an oven. The selling point is the position on the sea front. Unfortunately it did…

Join us at the base of the mighty Buachaille Etive Mor in the Laggangarbh hut. I hear someone might be completing their munros this weekend too. Plenty of munros, climbing and walking in the area. Cost is £15pppn. Currently, we are full but there should be plenty of options to camp. More detail on the hut can be found here: https://www.smc.org.uk/huts/lagangarbh  To sign up, please email David.

“Scotland’s favourite bunkhouse”. A great base to explore the Knoydart peninsula. Hopefully the old forge will be back open too after takeover by the community. £20pppn. Details of the bunkhouse are at https://knoydart.org/knoydart-bunkhouse/ You will need to get a ferry across. If you’re interested in more information and would like to come along please let our weekend meet coordinator know David Treagus.
