If at first you don’t succeed, try try again!The Christmas meet and dinner is a repeat of last year’s event, which had to be aborted due to a bit of snow (!)

Once again, the Xmas bus will go past the Achnasheen junction (and the Ledgowan Hotel) and travel down the A896 to park up for the day at the Coulags (OS 25, GR962452).  On the way it will pass Craig/Achnashellach Rail Station to drop off those heading for the Munros Beinn Liath Mhor and Sgorr Ruadh or the Corbett Fuar Tholl. The Coulags pass gives access to the Munro Maol Chean-dearg and the Corbett An Ruadh-stac.  There is a handy bothy 3kms from the road at GR950480, on the left hand side of the path.  What makes me think many people will get no further than the Bothy – especially if the weather is not too kind?  However, best to do at least some walking to build up an appetite for the Xmas dinner!!

The bus will leave at 4.30 pm sharp to take us to the Ledgowan Hotel in Achnasheen for the Club Xmas Dinner, where we will aim to be sitting down for 5.00pm. Not to be missed!
