We are heading back to the Cairngorms in February and, as there will be plenty of the white stuff about,  there will be the opportunity to practice your winter skills in the company of some of the more experienced members of the Club.  A number of topics will be covered including the use of ice axe and crampons, and you will need to bring all your winter gear.  If you would like to take part in Winter skills, please mention this when you book on the bus. If you do not have an ice axe, crampons and a helmet, there will be a limited number of sets available on the day.

There are plenty of high level and low level options available in the Cairngorms, for a great day out.  Do check the MWIS and SAIS websites for weather and avalanche risk and plan your day accordingly.  You should also decide if you have the fitness, the ability and the equipment to walk safely in the Scottish hills in winter.

Contact John Henderson (johnhenderson628@btinternet.com)  to book a place on the bus and to take part in the Winter skills.
